About Company
Architecture BRIO is a multidisciplinary architecture and interior design practice founded by principal architects Shefali Balwani and Robert Verrijt. Operating from studios in Mumbai and Rotterdam, the firm is known for creating architecture that responds thoughtfully to climate, landscape, culture, and the relationship between people and the built environment. Rather than following a predefined design style, the practice develops context-specific solutions that emerge from detailed research, collaboration, and a deep understanding of each project's surroundings.
The studio offers comprehensive services in architecture, interior design, master planning, landscape integration, sustainable design, and project execution. Its work spans luxury residences, hospitality developments, educational facilities, cultural projects, workplaces, and public spaces. Every project is managed by a dedicated team from concept development through detailed design, construction, and final handover, ensuring continuity throughout the design and execution process.
A defining aspect of Architecture BRIO's practice is its commitment to sustainability and environmentally responsive architecture. The team carefully studies natural systems, local materials, climatic conditions, and construction techniques to create buildings that integrate harmoniously with their surroundings while enhancing the user experience. The practice also collaborates closely with engineers, consultants, artisans, and clients to develop innovative and technically refined solutions tailored to each project.
Over the years, Architecture BRIO has completed acclaimed projects across India and internationally, earning recognition for its research-led design methodology and sustainable architectural approach. By combining creativity, technical expertise, and environmental responsibility, the studio continues to deliver architecture and interiors that are functional, timeless, and deeply connected to their physical and cultural context.
