What AA Architects does

AA Architects is a privately held, Pune-based multi-disciplinary design studio offering architecture, interior design, and urban/master planning services. Co-founded in 2008 by Ameet Lomate (Kingston University London; B.Arch., MMCOA Pune) and Amit Khivansara (Arch., MMCOA Pune; executive committee member of the Indian Institute of Architects, Pune), the firm operates with 1–10 employees from a single headquarters at 1 MPJ Condominium, Senapati Bapat Road, Pune 411016. Its client base spans individual homeowners seeking custom residences and interiors alongside commercial/institutional clients such as real estate developers, retail brands, healthcare operators, and hospitality groups active in Maharashtra.

The firm delivers three interconnected service lines: Architecture Services (residential buildings, commercial complexes, hospitals, multi-family developments, and mixed-use projects), Interior Design Services (apartments, bungalows, duplexes, and commercial office spaces), and Planning and Master Planning Services (township developments, slum rehabilitation, and large-scale residential planning). Notable projects include a 17.17 lakh sq.ft residential development for Jayraj Developers in Bibwewadi, a 49 lakh sq.ft township master plan for Mr. Vidhate in Wagholi, the 13,500 sq.ft Fabindia Experience Centre on ITI Road Aundh, a 10 lakh sq.ft hospital for Jayraj Group, and a 6.2 lakh sq.ft theme park for Adlabs Imagica in Khopoli. The design philosophy emphasizes simplicity, sustainability, and an organic blend of purpose and environment, fusing vernacular Indian elements with contemporary lifestyles.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, custom-quoted per engagement with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is direct client engagement supported by a portfolio website, editorial features in World Architecture News, Home Review, and Inside Outside, and referrals via the founders' professional network (including the Indian Institute of Architects). The firm holds no external investment, has no parent company or subsidiaries, and reports no certifications, patents, or partnership alliances in the supplied data.

Direct peers

• Morphogenesis: India-based architecture and planning firm with a strong sustainability and urban-mandate focus. Comparable to AA Architects in combining architecture with urban/township planning, but operates at significantly larger scale with international project exposure.
• SJK Architects: Indian architecture and interior design studio with a portfolio spanning residential, commercial, and hospitality projects. Directly comparable to AA Architects in studio-style delivery, integrated architecture + interiors offering, and developer-led residential work.
• Oscar & Ponni: Chennai-based Indian architecture practice with portfolio in residential, commercial, and cultural projects. Comparable to AA Architects in studio-style integrated practice and developer-driven project base, though anchored in South India rather than Pune.
• Studio Lotus: Indian multi-disciplinary design studio offering architecture, interior, and landscape services across residential, hospitality, and cultural projects. Comparable to AA Architects in its integrated practice model and India-based mid-sized positioning, though Studio Lotus operates at a larger national scale.
• Sanjay Puri Architects: Mumbai-based Indian architecture practice with extensive residential, commercial, and hospitality portfolio. Comparable as a similarly-positioned Indian architecture firm winning branded developer and enterprise clients, but with broader geographic reach and larger team.
• KPDV (Kannampilly, Ponnuswamy, D'Cruz, Verghese): India-based architecture firm focused on residential, commercial, and institutional projects. Comparable as a similarly-sized Indian architecture practice competing for developer-led residential and commercial mandates in tier-1 markets.
• Somaya & Kalappa Consultants: Established Indian architecture practice spanning architecture, interiors, and conservation across institutional, residential, and commercial projects. Comparable in multi-disciplinary offering and India-based developer client base, with deeper heritage / institutional project experience.

Broad incumbents

• HBA (Hirsch Bedner Associates): Global hospitality-focused interior design firm active in luxury hotels and co-living/hospitality interiors. Comparable on the interior design service line, particularly AA Architects' co-living and hospitality projects, though at much larger scale and international scope.
• M Moser Associates: Global architecture, interiors, and engineering firm with strong Asia-Pacific presence including India. Comparable on the interior design and workplace/commercial side, though at far greater scale and with multinational client base.
• Hafeez Contractor: One of India's largest architecture firms with deep residential, commercial, and township portfolio across India. Represents the scaled incumbent against which mid-sized Indian studios like AA Architects compete on developer-led residential and township mandates.
