About Us
At Compartment S4, we specialize in people-centric design and sustainable architecture and planning. Our mission is to create efficient, environmentally conscious designs that are tailored to their specific context. We prioritize cost-effective solutions, minimize waste, and utilize local materials and techniques to promote sustainability.
We work across the spectrum in architecture, urban design and planning, landscape and interior design with a focus on enhancing spatial experiences for users and reducing environmental impact. At the studio, we work in a multidisciplinary manner to offer end-to-end design services & solutions from larger scale urban design and planning to smaller scale interior design.
Founded in 2017, Compartment S4 is a dynamic design practice with studios in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Our journey began as a group of eight friends with a shared vision to create “Compartment S4” as a travelling design studio spreading a positive impact on the built environment. The name Compartment S4 is inspired from the temperament of the robust local train system in India which serves a variety of people and places.
Similarly, we envisioned our practice to adapt to different contexts and people along the journey of a design process. Today it also reflects our structure as a consortium of three key but interconnected design verticals: architecture, urban design and interior design.
At Compartment S4, we are a specialized design firm dedicated to thoughtful solutions. Our distinctiveness lies in:
