Architecture is no longer just about aesthetics or structural ambition; it reshapes cities, influences communities, and leaves a lasting impact on society. A classic example is the redevelopment of Mumbai’s National Textile Corporation mills, transforming low-density industrial zones into vibrant residential and commercial hubs.

What sets Team One Arteq apart is its ability to operate seamlessly across these verticals, offering integrated solutions that are visionary and practical.
