About the Thought Parallels

The urge to be relevant, an absence of a monotonous style, and attention to detail in design define the ‘thought parallels’ design ethos. ‘Thought parallels’ is built on its individuality. It is not a colossal practice, but a boutique firm with an ability to be innovative and equipped to design and supervise construction anywhere in the world. Thought parallels architecture is noted for discerning and humane design, ranging from modest to large houses, boutique hotels, art galleries, experience centers, commercial, religious and corporate buildings. There is a deep commitment to an active collaboration with our clients, emphasizing thorough research and analysis of each situation’s particular human, technical, and economic circumstances. The result is an architecture that resonates within its context and time. We view sustainable design as the right thing to do ethically, but also as an opportunity to make a richer, more powerful architecture.
