What Form and Function Architects Pvt. Ltd. does

Form and Function Architects Pvt. Ltd. (FFAPL) is a Pune, India-based architectural design firm founded in 2022 by three co-founders — Ar. Heramb Arjunwadkar (Director – Operations, 24 years experience), Ar. Onkar Bhosekar (Director – Projects, 15 years experience), and Ar. Kishori Arjunwadkar (Director – Design, 21 years experience) — who collectively bring 60+ years of practice. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned, operating with 8 employees, and is primarily focused on industrial architecture including greenfield manufacturing facilities, Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) structures, and process-oriented industrial layouts, while also serving residential, commercial, hospitality, and interior design clients.

The firm delivers architectural design services through a defined six-module service stack: Strategy Planning, Project Conceptualization, Master Planning, Detail Engineering, Project Approvals, and Allied Services (landscape, interior, 3D visualization, signage). Its core production technology is Building Information Modeling (BIM), implemented across the full project lifecycle from concept planning through as-built drawings, enabling clash detection, cross-trade coordination, and faster design iteration. The firm positions itself as a "strategy partner" rather than a pure design vendor, aligning architectural output with client business objectives.

Commercially, FFAPL operates a B2B project-based professional services model, generating revenue through fees for customized architectural design and execution services delivered via direct enterprise sales engagement. Customers are enterprise industrial and commercial buyers — including ITC, Johnson Controls India, NOV (National Oilwell Varco), Atomberg, Webasto, KSB Group, Varroc, Bitzer, Cilicant, Trident International, and FirstCry — sourced primarily through founder relationships, professional networks, and repeat engagement. The firm is currently expanding its geographic reach beyond India into the African continent.
