Principals
Design philosophy:
Holistic approach towards design involving functionality,
aesthetics & resource conservation. Sustainability and climate responsive
design form the basis of our work. Use of alternative, traditional & modern
building technology as appropriate to the context and brief. Search for
timeless architecture that is beyond 'trends' and doesn't struggle to be 'new'
or 'inventive' for the sake of it. The search is for 'egoless' architecture in
the present ego driven contemporary architectural trend the world over.
C&M Architects is led by Pino Marchese and Sheril Castelino.
