Akatva, a Sanskrit word meaning unity is more than just the name of our firm. It is the philosophy that shapes our design ethos and partnership. Founded by Abhilasha Jadhavrao and Ashutosh Tapadia, Akatva is built on a shared history, mutual respect, and complementary strengths.
Having studied together in the same architecture batch, our journey began in the classrooms and studios of college, where we first discovered our individual design voices and the potential of collaboration. Over the years, our unique strengths have come to define Akatva’s holistic approach: Ashutosh brings a clear architectural vision and exceptional planning acumen, while Abhilasha brings a refined aesthetic sensibility with a deep passion for interiors and architectural photography.
Together, we strive to create spaces that are not just functional and elegant, but also emotionally resonant spaces where thoughtful planning meets artistic expression. At Akatva, every project is an opportunity to build something meaningful, grounded in unity and driven by design integrity. Let’s Design the Essence of Unity together.
Our mission is to create architectural spaces that embody unity—seamlessly integrating form and function, people and place, tradition and innovation. Through thoughtful design, collaboration, and respect for context, we aim to inspire connection, harmony, and lasting impact in every environment we shape.
To design innovative, sustainable, and purposeful spaces that enhance the human experience. We are committed to excellence in architecture through thoughtful design, collaborative client relationships, and a deep respect for the environment, community, and cultural context.
Akatva is a full-service design firm providing architecture, master planning, landscape design, interior designing, space planning and programming.
At Akatva, we design spaces that embody unity by harmoniously integrating form, function, nature, and tradition. Led by our Principal Architect, we commit to sustainable, thoughtful, and context-driven design that brings together clients, culture, and the environment into a seamless whole.
