A high-ranking and award-winning architecture student, Behzad Noshir Kharas began his career with renowned architects Hafeez Contractor and Pronith Nath before setting up his own architecture and interior design firm The BNK Group in 2005. The group’s expertise includes interior design planning, architectural concepts, conceptualization, design, development, and execution.

For Kharas, luxury living transcends opulence and aesthetics to embrace an elevated state of the human mind. It is about enhancing clients' lifestyles in every aspect of their daily lives, from how they live and work to how they eat, sleep, pray, or play. Kharas believes technology, particularly AI, has transformed how we interact with our built environment. Biophilia, the integration of nature into urban spaces, plays a crucial role in this transformation, bringing greenery and nature vertically into our buildings as land becomes scarcer.

The BNK group is dedicated to creating path-breaking and landmark architecture and interior design, which are luxurious and environment-friendly. Their portfolio boasts many such projects, a recent one is a villa project in Nashik, where not a single tree on the plot was cut and the whole villa and façade features were built around the existing trees, creating an urban forest within the home. Automated systems regulate water and lightning based on environmental conditions allowing the residents to immerse themselves in the calming ambience of biophilia in their luxurious abode.

Looking ahead, Kharas foresees responsible luxury as the key trend in architectural design. The evolving technological landscape will continue to shape luxury spaces, leading to constant innovation and trend-setting ideas that enhance well-being and environmental stewardship.
