Amit Bhat, Principal Architect of Amit Bhat Architects has an impressive career of more than two decades in the field of architecture and design in both India and abroad. Early on his parents observed his creative potential manifested through sketches and model making and inspired him to pursue a career in the architecture and design field.

For Bhat luxurious living is not merely about grandeur and opulence, its essence lies in the comfort and functionality it provides to its inhabitants. With every new project, the excitement of creating something novel and the prospect of contributing positively to society inspire Bhat to design spaces that not only fulfill functional requirements but also enrich the lives of those who inhabit them. However, designing environmentally responsible luxurious spaces comes with its own challenges especially while convincing the client of the value of sustainability amidst notions of added cost and maintenance. Efforts need to be taken to redefine their concept of luxury and make them aware of the importance of environmentally responsible spaces. With innovation, collaboration, and persistence, new technologies and designs need to be created that are truly environmentally conscious in the long term.

Bhat believes that the fusion of smart buildings with biophilic design is the future of luxury living and holds great promise by getting the best of both worlds together. In his words, “The advantage of absorbing nature’s blessings with the splendor of man-made opulence at the same point in time opens up a wide spectrum of further numerous possibilities of exploring the ever-unfolding nature’s multiple facets!”. His commitment to thinking smart and right is reflected in his designs. Using naturally sourced materials and creating green designs that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors adds a sense of tranquility and harmony in the spaces designed by him.

Bhat feels that the future of luxury living appears dynamic and transformative, intertwining nature and technology to redefine the high-end residential experience. With space itself becoming a luxury commodity, the world of high-end space design will continue to push boundaries, weaving multifunctional elegance, sustainability, and innovation into the very fabric of luxury living. He states that as architects and designers, ‘we bear a profound responsibility to approach our craft with a sense of duty as every decision made on paper has the potential to redefine the present and the future of society and hence have a major impact on people’s daily lives.’
