In the ever-evolving architectural landscape of Mumbai, A+G Architecture and Project Management has emerged as a practice defined not only by thoughtful design but by disciplined execution. Founded in 2016 by Ar. Gauri Karnani, the firm reflects a philosophy where architecture, interiors, and project management converge into a seamless, integrated process.
With over 19 years of professional experience across India and the UAE, Ar. Gauri Karnani brings depth, versatility, and operational clarity to her work. Her academic journey began at Arya Vidya Mandir, followed by junior college at R.D. National College. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from L.B. Hiray College of Architecture, affiliated with the University of Mumbai, in 2006. Driven to further strengthen her expertise, she completed her Master’s degree in Architecture from Rachna College of Architecture under Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University in 2009, expanding her understanding of both design and construction management.
Her early professional exposure laid a strong foundation in handling complex and large-scale projects. During her tenure with Pell Frischmann, she contributed to the architectural design of ten underground metro stations for the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, worked on the refurbishment of fifteen schools in Abu Dhabi, delivered interiors for the British Deputy High Commissioner’s Office in Mumbai, and managed high-end residential developments in Mumbai and Abu Dhabi. These projects shaped her ability to balance creative thinking with logistical precision and stakeholder coordination.
Established with a clear vision, A+G Architecture and Project Management was conceived as a practice that bridges the gap between conceptual design and on-site reality. The studio operates as an integrated architectural and interior design firm with a strong emphasis on execution. Design and delivery are treated as one continuous process, ensuring that ideas are translated faithfully from drawings to built form.
The firm’s workflow is structured and methodical. Every project begins with in-depth discussions to understand spatial requirements, budgets, timelines, and expectations. Multiple planning options are explored before progressing into detailed drawings, 3D visualizations, and material studies. Finalized designs are supported by comprehensive execution drawings to minimize site-level changes and maintain quality control. Regular site visits and close coordination with consultants and vendors further reinforce the firm’s commitment to precision.
A+G’s portfolio spans residential and commercial projects, offering services across architecture, interior design, feasibility analysis, project management, and turnkey execution. This end-to-end model allows clients to experience a streamlined and transparent journey from concept to completion, reducing inefficiencies and ensuring alignment with both creative and financial objectives.
At the core of the practice lies a simple yet powerful belief: good design must be intelligent, practical, and client-focused. Rather than adhering to a rigid stylistic identity, the firm allows each project’s purpose, constraints, and context to guide its direction. Over time, an evolving design language has begun to emerge—one that may best be described as “Contemporary Classic.” The work reflects modern spatial clarity layered subtly with classical influences, resulting in spaces that are refined, balanced, and timeless.
Under the leadership of Ar. Gauri Karnani, A+G Architecture and Project Management continues to grow steadily, guided by integrity, involvement, and a results-oriented mindset. In a field where creativity and constructability often stand apart, the firm demonstrates that true architectural excellence lies in bringing the two together with clarity and conviction.
