The Madras Office for Architects and Designers – MOAD
The Madras Office for Architects and Designers (MOAD) is a multidisciplinary team of young architects and designers with combined expertise in providing a range of services from large scale urban design to human scale interface design.
Formally established in Chennai in 2004, MOAD has completed projects in Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore, Calicut and Hyderabad, many of which have received exposure in national magazines and newspapers.
We believe architecture is a product of Culture and hence should express life….. Our designs are born out of this premise and undergo a rigorous process involving the context, user and materiality.
