When it comes to design philosophy, 'We at Navkar strongly believe that architecture is not a simple manipulation of forms, but is about the construction of space and place. Light plays a decisive role in our design. To us, authentic material, pure geometry, and nature are the essentials that make architecture. Words like Beauty, Inspiration, Joy, as well as the concept of serenity, silence, solitude all this, have nestled in our soul and though we are fully aware that we have not done them complete justice in our work, they have never ceased to be our guiding lights.'

We have worked and hope to continue to work inspired by the faith that the aesthetic truth of these ideas will in some measure contribute toward dignifying human existence.
