9.Kamat & Rozario Architecture
Our work is an expression of our beliefs. Unchartered paths excite us. We react instinctively to a design problem. There is no formula and we don’t have a style. We debate and argue galore. But at the end of a sore argument usually emerges a great idea. Nothing surpasses that moment in a process when a beautiful idea is born. Not even chocolate cake. We love chocolate cake. Process in design is of paramount importance – even if it means we ended up exactly where we started.
