Studio VDGA is an architecture and design studio founded in 2003 by Deepak Gugarii, based in Pune, India. Deepak Gugarii graduated as an architect from the College of Architecture in Kolhapur in 1998, and since then, his work has been characterized by the development of projects that combine contextual sensitivity and spatial innovation.
His work is based on the exploration of new areas of design and expression. Perceptual design can evoke such intense feelings that it can alter users' sensory experiences. He believes that architecture is a journey through spaces, manifested through various media: sun, shadows, air, and form are just some of the premises on which it is built. A deep understanding of the urban fabric, in tune with his design premises, results in the spaces he desires.
Studio VDGA's work covers a wide range of homes, restaurants, offices, camps, resorts, corporate homes, and product design, from rustic to sumptuous, to name a few. With projects spread across India, Vietnam, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the studio aims to create projects that reward the viewer with a lasting impression.
The studio's work has been widely published, awarded, and recognized in the finest architecture, hospitality, and travel forums worldwide. Over 70 highly regarded national and international awards and recognitions have further recognized the studio's efforts.
“We do not want to give the world a heavy and obtuse architecture, but rather to create clever ideas. Ephemeral design languages are not for us… we are here to inhabit more persistent and lasting concepts.”
Deepak Gugarii, Principal Architect and Founder.
