Studio Saar was established by Jonny Buckland and Ananya Singhal in 2019 having collaborated for over a decade. The studio’s architecture is underpinned by the ambition to create sustainable solutions for society, achieved by cross-cultural sharing of emerging ideas, methodologies, and technologies.
The practice is split across its two offices in Frome, Somerset (UK), and Udaipur, Rajasthan (India). Its architecture is rooted in understanding the importance of people, culture, and place. Whether in Somerset or Rajasthan, the studio’s approach interprets vernacular traditions through a contemporary lens to deliver innovative, relevant, and beautiful design solutions across a range of typologies.
Key schemes include Secure Sanand Factory and Canteen in Ahmedabad, Gujarat; the redevelopment of Udaan Park in Udaipur; the Mayday masterplan for Saxonvale Frome; as well as several one-off dwellings in the UK and India.
