The Studio · Since 1980 · New Delhi
From its inception, the firm has pursued one aim: innovative design and expert, build-ready solutions for the buildings a public depends on.
01 The Practice
We create built environments that enrich lives and strengthen communities — rooted in collaboration, precision and integrity.
Our approach puts BIM at the core, holding architecture, structure and MEPF in one coordinated model across the full project lifecycle.
From an award-winning 2,35,644 m² institute campus to an 800-bed hospital and a Commonwealth Games stadium, every commission is carried as complete comprehensive consultancy — master plan to delivery. We offer that same capability, and scalable BIM services, to partner practices in India and abroad.
02 Lineage
The practice is founded in New Delhi by Ar. J. M. Benjamin — former Chief Architect to the Government of India, architect of the Parliament Annexe and the Connaught Place city centre.
Re-established with Ar. R. K. Vats — combining the CPWD lineage with four decades of pragmatic, deadline-driven public delivery.
Ar. J. M. Benjamin is named Architect of the Year — the Chairman’s Award, with the international-level honour from the SAARC Countries Institute.
Under Ar. Harsh Vats, every commission is carried on a single coordinated BIM model — LOD 100–500 — across nine typologies and fourteen cities.
03 Leadership
Chief Architect of the CPWD, whose contributions include the Parliament Annexe and the Connaught Place city centre. His disciplined approach laid the foundation of BBV’s legacy.
Co-founderFour decades leading major public and private projects — hospitals, educational institutions and industrial campuses across India. A pragmatic, deadline-driven consultant trusted by several government bodies.
PartnerLeads the firm’s BIM integration — LOD 100–500 models with global-standard documentation. Recognised personally by the Director General of CPWD for quality and timely execution.
04 Process
Large projects fail in the gaps between consultants — the clash nobody caught, the drawing that didn’t match the model. We close those gaps with one accountable team and a single coordinated BIM model, so what’s designed is what gets built.
We read the client’s mandate, the site and the statutory envelope together — programme, plot, budget and the public it must serve.
Campuses of hundreds of acres and settlements of thousands of units are zoned, phased and circulation-planned before a single block is designed.
Architecture, structure and MEPF are resolved in one coordinated BIM model — LOD 100–500 — with clash detection, quantity take-offs and construction drawings.
Complete comprehensive consultancy — structural, MEPF and all allied services — carried through municipal approvals to construction and on-site coordination.
