construction times Features TOA Director Mr. Parish S. Kapse
Team One Architects in the Press
Our Focus is on Merging Design Creativity with Technological Innovation
Construction Times — India's most-read construction and infrastructure magazine — sat down with Team One Architects Co-Founder and Director Parish Kapse for a wide-ranging conversation on India's path to Viksit Bharat 2047, real estate's role in the national growth story, AI-driven design innovation, and what sustainable architecture means in practice as TOA enters its 26th year.
What the Interview Covers
The interview spans five interconnected questions — from the macro picture of India's development trajectory to the specific innovations TOA is pursuing at the project level. Parish speaks across the full arc: the statistical case for real estate's centrality to Viksit Bharat, the design innovations reshaping modern offices, TOA's own investment in AI-driven architectural processes, and the challenges India must navigate to ensure that growth is both inclusive and sustainable.
As Team One Architects celebrates its 26th year, our focus is on merging design creativity with technological innovation and customer focus.
Parish Kapse — Co-Founder & Director, Team One Architects · As quoted in Construction TimesOn Innovation, AI, and What Sets TOA Apart
On TOA's major contributions to innovative developments in real estate projects:
On the innovation front, we are actively investing in research to integrate AI into our architectural processes. From layout planning and 3D visualisations to cross-sections and elevation design, we are exploring how AI can improve speed, precision, and efficiency, without compromising design integrity.
Parish Kapse · Construction TimesOn client relationships and repeat business as a marker of trust:
What truly sets us apart is that our diverse clientele has been univocal in applauding our innovative solutions. We are extremely proud to associate with almost half of our clientele on multiple projects, a testament to their trust in the value we bring to the table.
Parish Kapse · Construction TimesOn sustainability and the long view on India's built environment:
Sustainability is the essence of all that we do at Team One Architects. Buildings are not merely spaces, they are engines for sustainable cities, whose construction contributes to leasing, economic growth and India's green development aspirations. We focus on smart technologies, low-carbon materials and climate-resilient designs that make places efficient, adaptable and ready for the future.
Parish Kapse · Construction TimesReal Estate's Role in Viksit Bharat 2047
The interview is set against a clear statistical backdrop: India's real estate sector is projected to reach $4.8 trillion by 2047, contributing 18% to a $26 trillion GDP — up from around 7% today. Parish frames this not just as an economic projection but as a design and planning challenge. The buildings that anchor that growth — Grade-A offices, sustainable commercial spaces, modern infrastructure — need to be conceived differently than the generation before them.
The conversation connects naturally to TOA's own practice across sectors — from industrial parks and GCC campuses to innovation headquarters — where the brief consistently asks for spaces that are not just functional today but adaptable across a 20-year horizon.
