ROOH Studio - About

ROOH Studio is an Indo-European collective for contextual, strategic, responsible and thoughtful architecture. Present in India, Ireland & Finland.

The studio is currently working on several projects in India and Europe, taking a contextual approach of combining local materials with contemporary construction methods. ROOH Studio finds that their cultural and geographic diversity as a team gives them a critical and analytical edge as part of their design process when working across different cultural settings. The studio has delivered projects from pavilions demonstrating the potential of urban farming to office buildings responding to tropical climates using passive cooling design strategies. ROOH is passionate about all aspects of the design industry and are working towards expanding their work into an upscaled design and product market, currently working on bespoke solutions with two independent companies in Finland, Innogreen and Vivaret.

They have also been responsible for holding various 1:1 workshops across Europe and India focused on design, research and built solutions for socio-economic-cultural issues and themes.
