Have you ever asked yourself what makes a building truly sustainable? A genuinely sustainable building not only reduces environmental strain but also enhances the comfort and well-being of everyone inside. Renascent Consultants brings this vision to life by designing spaces that combine energy efficiency, smart material choices, and resourceconscious strategies, ensuring every project, from hospitals and universities to commercial and residential buildings, are both environmentally responsible and exceptionally livable.

Renascent Consultants, based in New Delhi, is a leading Architecture, Engineering, Interior, and Landscape Design firm known for its holistic approach to design. Established in 2012, the firm was founded by four accomplished professionals: Bakul Chandra, Dushyant Kumar, Parul Agarwal, and Varun Agarwal, who came together with a shared vision to create a design practice that blends creativity, sustainability, and functionality.

“The inception of Renascent Consultants stemmed from our desire to move beyond conventional architecture and develop a contemporary design language that is solution-oriented and socially responsive. We sought to establish a platform that delivers high-quality, contextually relevant designs that not only look good but also do good by enhancing both human experience and environmental harmony”, shares Bakul Chandra, Founding Partner & Mentor, Renascent Consultants.

From its inception, Renascent Consultants has positioned itself as a single-window design consultancy, offering end-to-end services that encompass Architecture, Urban Design and Master Planning, Structural and Civil Engineering, MEP and Fire Engineering, Interior Design, and Landscape Architecture. Over the years, Renascent Consultants has built a strong reputation across diverse industry sectors. Its expertise spans medical colleges and teaching hospitals, private and corporate hospitals, university and institutional buildings, industrial facilities, hospitality and commercial spaces, residential projects, auditoriums, and public and semi-public infrastructures.

Innovation & Future-Ready Design

Having designed hospitals ranging from 30 to 2000 beds, more than 500 educational institutions, and over 50 sugar mills, the firm actively integrates Sustainable Design and Green Architecture principles. It focuses on Net Zero Energy Buildings, passive design
strategies, and green certifications such as GRIHA and LEED to ensure energy- efficient and environmentally responsible outcomes.

It also leverages tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM) for precision and efficiency across all project stages to design Smart and Adaptive Buildings that respond dynamically to user needs and environ -mental changes. “We believe that sustainability and quality are inseparable. When a building is truly sustainable, it naturally embodies quality through energy efficiency, resource conservation, and smart material choices”, asserts Bakul.

Its approach also champions Biophilic Design, incorporating natural light, ventilation, and elements of nature to enhance occupant well-being and productivity. Inclusivity remains central to their philosophy, ensuring that all spaces are accessible and user-friendly for people of all abilities.

Rooted in Cultural and Contextual Sensitivity, Renascent Consultants designs with respect for heritage and place, often revitalizing existing structures to balance progress with preservation to create architecture that is intelligent, inclusive, and enduring.
