Since its founding in 1989, Ar. Hiren Patel’s practice (HPA) has grown to be at the forefront of contemporary Indian design and architecture. With innovation and attention to detail embedded in its ethos, HPA works mainly in the realms of architecture, interiors and landscaping. Some of the studio’s best work, and also the chunk of its portfolio, is in the segment of private residences. Homes that reflect the client’s lifestyle; homes that fit the family’s core needs and indulgent aspirations; homes that bring joy and peace to the occupants, visitors, and all those fortunate to catch a glimpse… Here’s celebrating homes by HPA!

Ar. Hiren Patel – founder of the Ahmedabad-based HPA – is one of the most successful and iconic personalities in Indian architecture. The versatile designer’s ingenuity, his intuitive and honest approach to his chosen craft along with a rare type of passion and integrity, leads to architecture that is more like a spiritual, soulful melody…

Drawn to the world of art and design since a very young age, Patel’s inspiration to study architecture came from within his family. “My father was a town planner,” says Patel. “My elder brothers are civil engineers, and I saw them making models when I was in school.” Being more creative, he was perhaps naturally drawn to the idea of designing beautiful spaces rather than getting structures built.

After graduating as an architect from CEPT University in 1983, Patel went on to get work experience, and eventually established his own studio Hiren Patel Architects (HPA) in Ahmedabad, in 1989. The studio spans across architecture, interior design and landscaping; and has produced some really inspiring work over the past almost four decades. The prolific practice has gone hand-in-hand with Patel’s intrinsic talent for art – and he has consistently stayed tuned to both his passions.
