If you’ve been searching for sustainable architecture firms in India, you already know the problem: most lists are either outdated, vague, or just recycled from somewhere else.
This one isn’t. These are real firms doing real work across the country, whether it’s green building architecture in Bengaluru, eco-friendly architecture in Delhi, or climate-responsive housing projects across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
India is one of the fastest-growing construction markets in the world. The choices being made today will shape how Indian cities feel, perform, and survive for the next 50 years. The firms below are getting those choices right.
Top Green Building Architects in India
1. Biome Environmental Solutions — Bengaluru
Founded in 2008, Biome is one of the most recognised names in sustainable building design in India. The practice combines ecological architecture with water management, sanitation, and materials research. Over 500 completed projects. Their work spans schools, residences, community centres, and commercial buildings, all built around environmental practicality rather than just visual aesthetics.
2. Morphogenesis — Delhi/NCR
Led by Manit and Sonali Rastogi, Morphogenesis is among the best architecture companies in India for large-scale sustainable design. The Infosys Campus in Nagpur is one of their most documented projects: passive cooling, water recycling, and renewable energy built into the fabric of a major corporate campus. Their design philosophy, called S.O.U.L., guides every project.
3. Ashok B. Lall Architects — New Delhi
One of the longest-standing practices in net-zero buildings India’s production. The firm has pioneered BIM adoption in Indian sustainable architecture and runs a highly inclusive design process where clients, consultants, and user groups are equal stakeholders. Their work regularly appears in national journals and architecture education curricula.
4. Made in Earth Collective — Bengaluru
A younger practice, but with a distinct point of view. Made in Earth works extensively with clay, lime, and locally sourced materials across south India. Their projects include college campuses, residences, and restaurants. The Natura Experience Centre in Bengaluru and the Samvada Baduku College Campus are two well-documented examples of their approach to passive house architects. India has been watching closely.
5. Arete Design Studio — Chandigarh
Founded by Ar. Tripat Girdhar, Arete focuses on climate-responsive architecture where natural light, natural ventilation, and local materials drive every design decision. The firm won the “Most Trusted and Futuristic Architecture and Urban Planning Firm of the Year 2024.” Their work is a practical demonstration that sustainability and good design are not in conflict.
Eco-Friendly Architecture Firms in India
6. CP Kukreja Architects — New Delhi
One of India’s largest practices with a consistent focus on green architecture, India can point to the institutional scale. Their projects include large-scale infrastructure, urban planning, and campus design with renewable energy integration, optimised building orientation, and GRIHA/LEED certifications built into the brief from day one.
7. Studio Mumbai — Mumbai
Bijoy Jain’s practice takes a different route: handcrafted, locally sourced materials, and deep respect for site conditions. The Palmyra House in Maharashtra is one of the most studied examples of sustainable building design that doesn’t look like a green building textbook. It just looks like a beautiful building that works with its environment.
8. Footprint E.A.R.T.H. — Ahmedabad
Yatin Pandya’s practice covers architecture, interior design, conservation, and affordable mass housing, with a consistent focus on alternative building technologies and environmental performance. One of the few top architects in India whose work spans both high-design residential projects and research into low-cost sustainable housing.
9. Benny Kuriakose and Associates — Chennai
Based in Chennai and drawing from the vernacular architecture of South India, this firm has worked across everything from small mud cottages to post-tsunami reconstruction housing. Deep material knowledge and a genuine understanding of local climate and community context. One of the more underrated sustainable architecture practices in the country.
10. Studio Madhushala — Pune
Founded in 2010 by Prasanna Morey, Studio Madhushala has built a reputation for earth-centric design that draws from traditional building methods without being nostalgic about them. Their projects in Maharashtra, including Anthill in Lonand and Padvi: The Verandah in Baramati, are good examples of green architecture that India is starting to pay more attention to.
What Connects These Firms?
They all work with the climate rather than against it. They use materials with purpose, not just because they photograph well. And they think about a building’s full life: how much energy it uses, how much water it consumes, how it performs across seasons and decades.
That’s not a niche approach. Increasingly, it’s the only approach that holds up.
