FIRST
Climate Change has woken up everyone and forced us all to rethink our models of growth and development. In the search of economic progress, we realise that we are depleting all our resources that make our existence possible.
​
We are a team who loves this planet, and would love to serve our clients and help them in creating wonderful buildings, spaces & products that are sustainable, easy to maintain, joy to use and cost effective. Our insistence on excellence, technology integration and scientific approach help us achieve this, and all these keeping the growth of the People – our Team, our Clients and our Vendors at the centre!

PLANET FIRST
At EssTeam, we are committed to doing only Sustainable Development right from a small residence interior, to a giant Corporate House or even a large Industrial Park.
We believe in ‘Practice what you Preach’, and our office is the first platinum rated Green Interiors in Gujarat, and our founding partner’s residence, the first Platinum rated Green Home in our region.
​
As an office, our concern for green is very evident since its mandatory for Architects joining the firm to become a Accredited Professional for IGBC, USGBC or GRIHA.
We have a Research Cell SUS10, which looks into analyzing the various green projects and create practical knowledge which can be used for future projects.
