Partner and landscape architect at studio DCode, Anupama holds a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the Madras University, India, and a master’s degree in landscape architecture from the University of Greenwich, UK. She has worked with Cornwall Environmental Consultants, UK. Back in India, Anupama specialises in creating innovative spaces, both interior and exterior, with a blend of the past, present, and future.

Ar. Harini T Raja
Partner and urban designer at studio DCode, Harini holds a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the Madras University, India, and a master’s degree in urban design from the University of Greenwich, UK. She has worked on various large-scale master planning and urban renewal projects in India and abroad. Her exposure to sustainable practices in Auroville and the experience she has gathered there working with her mentors have enabled her to use eco-friendly materials and sustainable building techniques while weaving contemporary design fabric. At the end of the day, she feels it is all about freedom of expression and drawing inspiration from things found in our own backyard!
