For Abu Laskar, Founder of Dearc, the most inspiring buildings are rarely the loudest. They are the ones that continue to perform beautifully decades after completion by adapting to changing needs, responding to their context, and quietly improving the lives of the people who use them. This belief, championed by our founder, has shaped the way we approach architecture. We see design not as a series of isolated decisions, but as the careful integration of planning, structure,

For our Mather Square proposal, we explored how an ageing commercial development could be transformed into a future-ready destination through strategic retrofitting. We approached the façade as both an environmental response and a contemporary architectural expression, redefining the building's identity while improving thermal and visual performance, energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and long-term building. Through ventilated terracotta tiles dry cladding, high-performance

Arrival spaces do more than connect destinations as they shape perceptions, emotions, and first impressions. At One World, a multi-storied mixed-use residential development in Amritsar, the entrance experience was envisioned as more than a functional drop-off but as a statement of grandeur that reflects the scale, ambition, and character of the development. Framed by a double-height lobby, a fretted glass canopy, and warm material finishes, the arrival sequence creates a sen

Continuing our healthcare design series, we explore the environments where the impact of design becomes most personal - Patient rooms, consultation suites, and recovery spaces have a direct influence on comfort, well-being, and the overall care experience. At Dearc, we design these environments with a focus on: - Privacy - Acoustic comfort - Family-inclusive care, and - Human-centered functionality The goal is to create spaces that support both clinical excellence and the e

What does evidence-based healthcare design actually look like in practice? At Dearc, our work for Max Healthcare focused on the public spaces that shape a patient's experience of the facilities, like reception areas, waiting zones, and circulation spaces. Guided by evidence-based design principles, these environments were designed to support intuitive wayfinding, reduce cognitive load, and create a greater sense of comfort and reassurance for patients and caregivers navigatin

'You have to visualise something before you can pursue it.' For Kanupriya Agrawal, Founder of Dearc, this belief lies at the heart of both design and leadership. Before a project takes shape, before plans are drawn or details are defined, there must first be a vision of what it can become. Because every project brings its unique set of aspirations, constraints, opportunities, and stakeholder expectations. This perspective shapes her approach to leadership, too. By bringing c
