Founded in 1989 by Anil Kumar Sharma in New Delhi, A Sharma Associates (ASA) is a
professional consultancy firm specializing in architecture, building engineering, interior
design, sustainability, urban design and planning. With a legacy of delivering landmark
projects across India, Nepal and other international locations, we are known for integrating local architecture, materials and vernacular styles that respond thoughtfully to environmental and climatic contexts—enhancing both functionality and human well-being.
Our design philosophy is rooted in precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of our
clients’ unique spatial needs. Every project we undertake reflects our commitment to
innovation, quality, and personalized service. We believe that great architecture is not only
about aesthetics but also about creating spaces that are responsive, sustainable, and
enduring. Our dedication to quality, collaborative team approach, and responsiveness to
client needs are the cornerstones of our practice.
We have provided consultancy for a wide range of building typologies including hotels,
resorts, clubs, mixed-use developments, workplaces, healthcare, educational
institutions, sports facilities, single and multi-family residential projects. Our team
thrives on complexity and is passionate about turning challenges into opportunities for
design excellence. At A Sharma Associates, we don’t just design buildings—we craft
experiences that stand the test of time.
Our Philosophy
We believe iconic architecture begins with a powerful idea—a form that is purposeful,
contextual, and timeless. A simple stroke of a pencil can give birth to a form that resonates
across generations.
Our Design Approach
At A Sharma Associates, we believe architecture is more than just building design—it's
about crafting spaces that inspire, endure, and elevate the human experience. With
studios in New Delhi and Kathmandu, our practice bridges cultures, landscapes, and ideas
to deliver architecture that is timeless, sustainable, and contextually rich.
Our Design Approach
From concept to commissioning, we work closely with clients to ensure flexibility, comfort, safety, and connectivity. Our deep understanding of building engineering systems allows us to define clear guidelines and deliver fully coordinated drawings - crucial for flawless execution.
Budget and time schedule are gospel truths for us; any deviation can ruin the entire effort. We know that a successful project is much more rewarding than the remuneration it brings. Our hard work is our only advertisement, and a satisfied client is the key to our success. We continuously aim to be the practice preferred by clients.
