About
We are an award-winning Mumbai-based multidisciplinary design
practice with over 47 years
of experience.
Our practice has from its inception attempted to develop a contemporary design syntax
for the Indian subcontinent, by approaching architecture as a synthesis of
"ecology" and
"spirit".
Ecology implies a seamless, cohesive and
holistic approach to
design.
This is achieved through the assembly of a group of highly motivated and evolved
specialists in different disciplines.It is about creating lasting relationships that
become so deeply intertwined, that the whole ceases to be a sum of its parts, and
instead becomes a living, breathing organism in itself.
Luis Barragan said that "Architecture is the spatial execution of spiritual decisions." For us, Spirit implies balance, understanding and tranquility.
Our work draws inspiration from nature, not through only its physical forms, but through its principles and processes. We have also tried to resurrect the Indian artisan, as well as cultivate the use of local materials as a corollary to encouraging sustainability. This is exemplified by our works that incorporate load bearing brick masonry, stone masonry, exposed concrete and most recently, the innovative use of structural steel.
Our diverse, dynamic and radical portfolio of works includes Residential, Commercial, R&D, Healthcare, Hospitality, Educational, Cultural, Institutional as well as master planning projects.
Vision
To foster a contemporary design approach through research, experience and dialogue that upholds our commitment to ecological sensitivity and local context.
Mission
Malik Architecture promotes creativity, knowledge sharing and collaboration as core values that serve to elevate our local communities and make us global thought leaders in sustainable and innovative design practices.

Kamal Malik
Founder and Director, Kamal Malik, was born and raised in Shimla in the pristine environs of the Himalayas; it is no surprise that, even today, nature remains the source of his inspiration. He completed his architectural studies at the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA) in New Delhi. Over the last 46 years, Kamal has created some iconic and award-winning buildings from the Lupin laboratory and the American School of Bombay to the Stone House in Jodhpur, experimenting with materials, techniques and processes. Kamal is also a committed art collector, with a wide collection spanning antiques, sculpture, paintings and objets d'art.
Principle ArchitectArjun Malik
Arjun completed his Bachelors in Architecture at the Rachana Sansad Academy of Architecture, Mumbai and went on to receive a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University in New York. Before commencing his Masters in New York, Arjun worked at Malik Architecture for three years and returned to the practice in 2005. When he’s not brainstorming with the MA team at the studio, you can find him playing football at the Bombay Gymkhana with his team, or spending time with his beautiful wife Melinda and nine year-old son, Gautam.
Amrita Malik
After graduating from Yale University, Amrita's inclination toward healthcare led to a promising career in NY-based healthcare systems including Mount Sinai Medical Center. Professional healthcare management in Mumbai lacked the rigour and autonomy that she enjoyed in the US so after a brief stint at an outpatient practice in Mumbai, she opted to oversee operations and administration at Malik Architecture. She currently divides her time between Malik Architecture and IFBE (Ice Factory Ballard Estate), the family's passion project where they are both designers and one-third stakeholders. What truly powers and energises Amrita though is the healing practice she was initiated into over a decade ago.

Journal
Building With Earth
About the workshop
“ The event shall start with this very spirit.
We shall learn what earth has to offer,
many ways of building through earth,
how to mould it in different forms,
how to stack them to make a wall,
how to make an opening for light,
and where to walk-by at night,
arches, vaults and domes,
they all will make a home,
theory and practical work
will be learnt with some hard work
it may get hot and tiring
we will fill it with fun and musing.”
