INTRODUCTION

We aspire to create innovative design solutions that sync with the three C’s; Creativity, Cultures and Context to satisfy human needs, environmental care, asset creation, science and art. KGD is a global design, architectural, engineering and interior design firm established in 2003. We work across almost all verticals; transportation, healthcare, hospitality, education, commercial, residential and industrial architecture.

KGD is led by the three directors Nejeeb Khan, Ajay Gupta, and Shivalika Midha and over 300 dynamic architects and engineers from across the globe including USA, Spain, and UK with network teams in Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Dubai, Al Khobar and Denver.

Nejeeb Khan, Managing Director, says, “We do not consider ourselves an architecture company or an interior, landscape or a master planning company; rather, we consider ourselves a talent company. We view buildings as six - dimensional structures; after the three dimensions of space, the fourth dimension is cost, the fifth dimension is the time and the sixth dimension is sustainability.

We do not design buildings; rather, we design the lifecycle of a building.” KGD has played a leading role in shaping the real estate sector with clients like Sobha Developers, Purvankara, Salarpuria Sattva, Century Developers, Jain Heights, Chintels, Anantraj, Alpha G Corp etc.

With architects, designers, planners, and engineer’s teams working in 6 offices around the world, we are committed to delivering high-performance and sus-tainable communities, buildings and environments that exceed client expectations, contribute to human well-being and enhance the health of our planet.

KGD’S ‘MANTRA’ IN REAL ESTATE

“KGD’s success in real estate is attributed to its combination of multiple talents and emphasis on technology”Our design philosophy is simple and embedded in the

development of architectural ideas that are minimalist,

exclusive, and relevant to the specifics of both plan and

conditions.

At KGD, a highly motivated team of architects and urban

designers who work in a studio background which enables

them to ideate and share to ensure that each project

achieves the full potential of your brief and the site.

We believe that clarity of expression is significant for good

teamwork, and to develop design that inspires the client,

stakeholders and the public.

What really puts us one step ahead of other is our ability to

integrate International Design, Timely Delivery, Sustainable

architecture, and 7D modeling & BIM (Building Information

Modeling) to provide value for our clients while creating

dynamic and unforgettable places.

Our dedicated Architectural Visualization team uses

high-end technology in creating graphics, rendering and

animations that help clarifying and crystallizing design

solutions to meet our clients’ most complex design

challenges.

KGD strives to deliver exclusive designs that are bench

marked internationally, understanding the requirement of

every client and providing accurate tailor made solutions.

KGD Real Estate studio is an integrated practice with

inhouse architecture, structure, MEPF, Landscape and

interiors.

The contextual design for Indian real estate

sector:

Real estate plays a crucial role in the Indian economy.

It is the second largest employer after agriculture and is

slated to grow at 30% over the next decade.

The Indian real estate market size is expected to touch $180

billion by 2020.

The housing sector alone contributes to 5-6% of the coun-

try’s GDP.

Retail, hospitality and commercial real estate are also grow-

ing significantly, providing the much-needed infrastructure

for India’s growing needs.

KGD has developed a unique center of excellence for real

estate sector. KGD Real Estate studio is an integrated prac-

tice with in-house architecture, structure, MEPF, Landscape

and interiors. By this approach timely delivery and highest

quality documentation is possible.

KGD real estate studio formed as a think tank focused to find

sustainable design solutions to the fast urbanization. The

boards of advisors at real estate studio include various ur-

ban designers, planners, engineers and landscape architects

from across the world. Our vision is to become the most

valuable and trusted real estate architects in India by 2015.

The biggest challenge of Indian real estate sector is to

adopt a contextual design approach which synchronises to

socio-economic and cultural aspects of people.

“KGD real estate stu-dio is an integrated practice with in-house architecture, structure, MEPF, Landscape and interiors.”

INTERNATIONAL DESIGN

“Knowledge and understanding of materials is an integrated part of our design which give us freedom to explore new spatiality and materials”KGD is a global establishment connecting with people

and places with ideas that come from many minds

and imaginations. KGD delivers reliable, innovative,

technology-driven solutions and services through

a team of positive thinking, joyful and empowered

professionals. Knowledge and understanding of

materials is an integrated part of our design which gives

us freedom to explore new spatiality and materials.

Each of our projects is carefully tailor made to deliver

unique, innovative and sustainable solutions that reflect

the needs of our clients while still enabling responsible

stewardship towards the public at large.

Ajay Gupta AIA

High-rise design brings with itself unique set of opportuni-

ties and challenges. It has been a single platform for us to

integrate high-end international design with innovation in

sustainability and engineering.

Exploration in Construction technology and Sustainability

has helped us come up with economical and time sensitive

construction methodology which has minimal impact to the

neighboring settlement and the city infrastructure.

All though high-rise buildings have been around for dec-

ades in the western society, its globalization has just began

in the last decade or so and will be a key growth driver in

the developing and emerging economies.

As KGD we are much focused in innovation and exploration

for new and better ways of creating high design and envi-

ronmentally responsible High Rise built environment.

How would you define International Design?

It is a design philosophy which integrates and applies the

entire lessons learned from build environment around the

world and implements the innovative and creative ideas

accumulated during the course to a client sensitive context.

KGD has been an active participant in the built environment

all over the world, bringing back knowledge and talent and

integrating those design philosophy to our current project’s

and constantly elevating the benchmark of design excel-

lence.

Institute of Technology, USA. He is a member of American

Institute of Architects and Council of Architecture.

His expertise lies in strategy & feasibility planning, creating

efficient & productive designs and budget coordination for

hospitals.

What the major challenges in high-rise design these days?

Real estate is going through a dynamic transition due to

high cost of land and high aspiration on the growing middle

and affluent class. High-rise Residential Buildings bring

about a synergy to the above mentioned two issues, as it

helps in re-densification of the high cost of urban real-estate

and bring about global lifestyle and comfort for the consum-

ers in their built environment.

“Design is a product of constant learning from our environment and a foresight of what the future holds for us.”

“KGD strives to deliver exclusive designs that are bench marked internationally, underestanding the requirements of every client and providing accurate tailor-made solutions.”We focus on solutions that render solutions that are

profitable to the client by adopting a sense of employee

ownership towards all KGD projects. KGD is a staunch

advocate for the use of the proprietary software “BIM”

that allows architects to conceptualise and build every

project virtually, before putting it to test in the real world.

BIM’s concept-tooccupation time-span enables the firm to

optimise time and cost. Apart from BIM, the firm uses three

dimensional visualisation techniques to engage and inform

clients with their projects.

We deliver stakeholder satisfaction while being a socially

responsible organization. BIM, building information

modeling one of the revolutionary thinking happened to the

AEC industry in the recent era.

BIM is more than software or a tool. It’s a process of

collaboration. A complete transformation from the

disconnected paper based 2 dimensional linear processes to

an n - dimensional connected digital process.

- Enhanced insight to design

- Accurate documentation

- Lesser wastage of materials

- Design standards & code requirements

- Conflict between trades

- Accurate BOQ & specifications

- Sustainable design

- Lesser documentation time

“KGD strives to deliver exclusive designs that are bench marked internationally, underestanding the requirements of every client and providing accu-rate tailor-made solutions.”Benefits of 4D model can be experienced all along the construction stage.

KGD BIM team has the experience and expertise in creating a 4D model.

4D model can be updated once the completion of single planned zone or floor is done and compared with initial planning,

there by evaluating work force productivity and making all necessary changes to the planning which will help in on-time

completion of the project.

5D Modelling

The progression is logical: it all starts with 2D drawings; then we receive or make the 3D models and coordinate them; then we

use the construction-caliber quantities from the takeoff for the 4D schedule and the 5D estimate.

Once you have the quantities, it’s just a matter of getting the production rate from your Subs’ bids (and/or historical perfor-

mance data); dividing the project into logical locations; and applying unit costs for materials, equipment, and labor.

Benefits of 5D BIM

- Show an Owner what happens to the schedule and budget when a change is made on the project.

- Organize your own in-house databasewith cost and pricing information, labor productivity rates, crew composition data,

and Sub KPIs.

- Provide cost-loaded schedules for the Owner.

- Provide multiple, iterative (evolving) estimates for the Owner which s/he can quickly compare to the target cost.

How do you see BIM as a tool in construction

industry?

Building Information Modeling is a 5D tool for implemen-

tation of projects. It is the future of construction industry

in India. It has time and cost as the 2 dimensions beyond

the 3 dimensions of space. The opportunities in BIM are

tremendous. From identifying construction detailing to clash

detection to Virtual construction, it is all there. Further, in

KGD, we are exploring ways to increase the potential of BIM

by integrating with other intelligent software’s.

KGD understand that BIM is the future of construction

industry. Projects are developed in Revit softwares, which

helps cut down the construction time.

“KGD is a setup with complete engineering team backing up the architectural team to help resolve the building services during the concept stage itself. Building is studied as a 3D model from the beginning stage.”

Shameer MohamedStudio Head – Oman – Senior Associate

Talks about delivering critical projects efficiently and to the accuracy level of client’s satisfaction.

What do you perceive KGD as?

KGD is a platform envisioned to take architectural practice

in india to the next level. It has the expertise for different

verticals created to cater to different building types. The

urge to nurture different verticals is very high and each team

of experts constantly try to build up larger data base and

design understanding so that the client has the comfort level

he can take an informed call on all decisions.

KGD has invested huge amount on developing BIM in india.

It has played key roles in multiple BIM seminars.



helps cut down the construction time. KGD has best of

talents in design and detailing which helps Indian clientele

get international design practice sourced in india itself.

We ensure timely completion by ensuring right things

are done at the right time. During the project conception

and scheduling, project managers identify areas of close

coordination so that all information’s from different trades

are taken as the design progresses. This avoids delay due to

rework. Further, In order to achieve timely deliverable, client

help on timely approvals and lesser request for redesign

helps achieve.

How has been your experience in KGD?

KGD provides lot of options for an individual to grow. I have

been in KGD for 6+ years. KGD has taken all its staff along

with it in its growth story. I have been able to identify my

strength and develop it with the help of the directors here.

The company sees the staff as its strength and that encour-

ages each one of us to ensure that we don’t let the company

down. KGD encourages knowledge gain for each employees.

My stay in KGD has been of continuous learning.

“The project delivery process followed here involves checkpoints at different levels which helps maintain the quality of the deliverable. ”

We are also educating clients, conducting training sessions

for our client project team so that they can use the model

during construction period for tracking the construction

and avoiding any clashes. We are also in the process of

developing tools where client has more information with

him virtually to decide on how the whole project would look

on site. It makes decision process much easier.

What do you feel are the challenges in Indian con-

struction industry from an architect’s point of view?

Indian construction industry is for the masses and the fea-

sibility of a project depends on the acceptability within the

masses. This I think is a good phenomenon as all architects

would want to design for the end users. The challenge I feel

is the fragileness in the market. A project could go from a

premium project to an affordable due the market demand.

Once the targeted end user changes then the whole project

has to be looked differently and needs to be restarted.

The other challenge is the effectiveness of the project man-

agement systems. Once the project duration goes beyond

the schedule, then in order to complete at the earliest,

quality is compromised. Indian construction industry has to

raise its benchmark on quality and detailing. Lot of designs

are compromised due the detailing at sites. A design can be

experienced well after completion only when each area is

detailed out for its fixing, transitions etc.

What design processes are adopted for successful

delivery of project?

At KGD, timely delivery is very essential. The project deliv-

ery process followed here involves checkpoints at different

levels which helps maintain the quality of the deliverable.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

“Sustainable design is the key word. Just making beautiful buildings is not enough, they should be sustainable as well.”Designing is incomplete until we have a sustainable design

in place which binds the structure for a longer time. A well

accomplished Infrastructure project’s priority is to minimize

any step that could affect the building framework in future.

Our design philosophy is based on sustainable design

to comply with the principles of social, economic, and

ecological sustainability. We reduce negative environmental

impact completely through skillful, sensitive design that we

call Sustainable Design.

KGD uses cutting edge Building Information Modeling

(BIM) technology to seamlessly combine art and science,

and create spaces for varied uses across multiple

geographical boundaries. This in turn provides our clients

with larger picture of the layout and gives them confidence

in initiating the work process. Kgd designer also makes sure

that proper implementation of the design takes place during

the construction phase. Precision tracking of the finished

work follows later.

How does the future of KGD look?

The year 2014-15 is expected to be the best for KGD for

sure, with the best architectural practice and with all servic-

es under one roof. We laid a SOLID foundation for a global

real estate market. We are expanding latitude and moving

towards the best international practice and at the same time

providing wings to the development of India.

End users were always kept in our mind while providing

amenities for any master planning projects. For the interna-

tional projects, we offer facilities and amenities similar to

the ones they are familiar and hence they don’t have to make

significant changes in their lifestyle. Even our landscape

designers are able to match the same language of design

and style. Since living in a community brings people from

different parts of the country together thus making it a

diverse community.

Our design for master planning brings nice, quiet and

natural surroundings for them. The diverse neighborhoods

with high level of cultural engagement lead the economic

development to the next level for urban communities.

“We understand the requirement, respect the culture and use it with proper justification to suit the modern lifestyle.”

Akhtar ImamProject Manager

People’s manager shares his thoughts on application of Vastu in real estate.

Akhtar is a Registered Architect (COA) and also an Associ-

ated member of Indian Institute of Architect. He also finds

time to teach Interior Design and Vastu and shares his view

through multiple articles in news papers and professional

magazines.

He has sucessfully handled projects like - Century Eden,

AWHO, Adani etc.



helps cut down the construction time. KGD has best of

talents in design and detailing which helps Indian clientele

get international design practice sourced in india itself.

- Reducing Environmental impact

- Energy Efficiency (detail drawings will reduce any air

leakage from air conditioned space, High Performance

window and proper use of glass at right location. Proper

landscaping and use of solar energy )

- Water efficiency

- Materials efficiency

- Operational and maintenance optimization.

- Waste reduction.

“The project delivery process followed here involves checkpoints at different levels which helps maintain the quality of the deliverable. ”

Tell us about Vastu.

Understanding of Vastu principles are more important than

just blindly accepting it in modern life style. With proper

understanding of Vastu we will be able to provide modern

amenities which were not mentioned at all in any of ancient

books on Vastu.

STP, Transformer, Substation, are required for any master

plan but not discussed in any of the vastu books. Similarly,

refrigerator, microwave, television, air conditioning, washing

machine, dish washer, etc were not discussed in any of

the Vastu books but being used in all modern house. Even

understanding of the vastu principle enhances design and

lifestyle.

What is sustainable design?

The world today is highly dynamic and evolving at a rapid

pace. Humans are builders and creators—but how can we

build thoughtfully, without waste? These talks explore sus-

tainable design—both past and present—and it’s beautiful,

inspiring results.

The other concepts are Green building and Natural Building,

where energy, water and other resources are being used very

efficiently. Health of the occupants is being protected and

waste, pollution and environmental degradation are being

reduced.

What can we achieve with sustainable design of

projects?

Just a making something beautiful is not enough, it must be

sustainable. With the proper synergistic design following

goals may be achieved :

TIMELY DELIVERY

“KGD works towards successful fast-track deliveries for effective value addition for the Time Management is very crucial in projects. If the

construction takes a slower pace, the geographical price

index could also hit the flow of business. KGD works

towards successful fast-track deliveries for effective value

addition for the client. To accommodate everything on

a given time frame our company uses state of the art

technology which is an important part of designing process

that helps achieve on time deliverables. KGD typically

targets faster delivery by using BIM (Building Information

Management) based documentation and adapting a fully

integrated practice which

includes, Master Planning, Architecture, Interior Design,

Engineering, Landscape and Contract Management. ipart

from the time management, quality assurance and quality

check (QA & QC) is equally important to us and we have

established various protocols and checklist to achieve the

best deliverables. We believe that a structured processes,

infrastructure and knowledge oriented teams are the key

enablers for faster delivery to leverage their client’s time

period.

What is your design philosophy?

My design philosophy use in finding an appropriate balance

between design factors such as; Aesthetics, Functions and

Economy. Visual aesthetic does not constitute good design

& an architectural creativity springs from respect for the

factors that constrain the design. Architecture and building

design should serve the people who utilize not who design.

How do you approach design for any project?

My usual design approach would be to understand the cli-

ent’s requirement and bye-laws and regulations which play

major role in planning along with climatical and sustainable

design aspects.

What are the challenges you face to design for

Offices?

Present day offices are not just the place they go to work

but love their workplace, this, we need to create office space

where people would want to go to office.

The challenge is bringing in the concept of creativity, social-

ly active and an employee friendly environment – altogether

bring in the idea of work life balance.

While these functional aspects are crucial so is value for

their money on the developers part.

How important is it to deliver on time?

Quality assurance and quality check (QA & QC) is impor-

tant to us and we have established various protocols and

checklist to achieve the best deliverables. The delivery is not

just about quantity but its the quality as well.
