Ansari Architects, formerly known as Ansari and Associates, is an award-winning architectural firm based in Chennai, India. Our motto,"CREATIVITY BEYOND IMAGINATION," drives our commitment to delivering exceptional designs. We specialize in high-end residences and luxury independent homes, striving to create exemplary designs that perfectly align with our clients' needs and inputs. Client satisfaction is our utmost priority, and our entire staff is dedicated to upholding this principle daily. We collaborate closely with construction teams to transform our creative visions into reality.

Why Choose Us

Choosing Ansari Architects means partnering with a firm that offers unparalleled expertise and dedication in luxury home design.

Experts in High-End Villas

We are among the select few architectural firms that exclusively specialize in high-end villas, a challenging segment demanding precision, extensive experience, and meticulous attention to detail. Our deep focus and hands-on experience help clients avoid costly mistakes often made by non-specialist firms.

Proven Results, Not Just Renderings

Unlike many firms that primarily showcase computer-generated 3D images, we pride ourselves on showing actual photos of completed projects. While creating a 3D image is easy, bringing a design to life takes years of experience. Our designs often look even better in reality than in their initial 3D visualizations.

Exceptional Design Quality

Our designs are never “run-of-the-mill”. Each house and interior is custom-designed to meet the unique requirements of its occupants. We invest extensive thought, brainstorming, and deep research into the selection of finishes for every project. The remarkable results you see on our website typically take 1.5 to 2 years to achieve, requiring daily involvement throughout the entire construction period.

Transparent Fee Structure

We charge on a square-foot basis, meaning our fee remains consistent regardless of your material choices, whether you opt for vitrified tiles or Italian marble. This ensures that our suggestions for high-quality finishes are driven by design excellence, not by an attempt to increase our fee. Our fees also align with the Council of Architecture norms.

Complete Turnkey Solutions

We offer comprehensive turnkey solutions for both construction and interiors, significantly minimizing your involvement in the building process. However, if you prefer to be more involved, your participation is always welcome.

Dedicated and Experienced Team

Our dedicated and experienced team works tirelessly to bring our imaginative designs to fruition. They provide extensive support to your construction team through numerous meetings and discussions with contractors and site supervisors, promptly clarifying any doubts or questions.

Streamlined Working Methodology

Once a project design is finalized, a dedicated working team is assigned to your project. The team head coordinates daily with the contractor and construction team, and you can always contact them for clarifications. Should you require further assistance, you are welcome to escalate any issue to the chief architect.

Seamless Staff Availability

We ensure continuous support by having knowledgeable substitute staff available to step in if a team member is unavailable. This guarantees that your crucial calls and important questions are always addressed promptly, without delays due to personnel absence.

Comprehensive Coordination and Liaising

We manage all necessary approvals from Corporation, CMDA, and DTCP for your project.

Trusted Contractor and Vendor Relations

We possess in-depth knowledge of the latest technologies and finishes, including tiles, veneers, and paints. We pass on architect discounts directly to our clients, and our long-term relationships with vendors often secure special rates. Importantly, vendors uphold the highest quality standards when working through us, understanding that any compromise will affect our ongoing relationship.

Rigorous Quality Checks

Our engineers conduct periodic quality checks on construction, adhering to our strict norms. We can arrange for more frequent site visits by our team if you desire, ensuring construction meets the expected quality.

Ongoing Partnership

We don’t simply provide drawings and step away. We remain actively involved throughout every stage of construction until the complete handover of your project, safeguarding your interests. While our fee might be slightly higher than competitors due to this comprehensive involvement, the immense value addition you receive far outweighs the extra investment

Enduring Quality, Minimal Upkeep

We believe a truly luxurious home is one that allows you to focus on living, not constant maintenance. Our designs prioritize durability, utilizing materials and construction practices that ensure longevity and minimize upkeep. We meticulously select exterior cladding that resists harsh climates and requires minimal maintenance. Furthermore, our expert plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing practices are designed to prevent future issues, with our well-trained teams diligently avoiding typical site-level errors. For your peace of mind, our dedicated electrical and plumbing teams are available on-call for any future issues, providing prompt service at fair prices for years to come.
“At Ansari Architects, we don’t just build houses we create ‘Timeless homes that inspire’. Let us bring your dream to life.”

What You See Is What You Get

Our deep focus and hands-on experience mean you avoid the costly mistakes that non-specialist firms often make.

This level of accuracy takes daily involvement and meticulous coordination, something our team commits to throughout your project.

Proof in Every Project

Exceptional Value for Money

We help you get more value at every stage of the build.

Perfected Designs Before Execution

We believe flawless execution starts with perfect planning.
That’s why we provide multiple options and iterations during the design phase until you’re confident there’s no better layout for your lifestyle.

This process prevents future errors, saves time, and reduces unnecessary costs during construction.

Minimum proposed construction area of about 4,000 sq ft is required for us to take it as a project. Less than that will not be a viable project for us.

                                                                                                                                      We need to be paid an advance 'Retainer' Payment before we start working on a project.

                                                                                                                                      Please make sure that you come with a mindset to give us maximum freedom for designing, so that we can deliver the best result to you.

                                                                                                                                      Our Experience in High-end, Luxury homes and our design sense are unmatchable in the field, whether among established or among the start-up firms.

                                                                                                                                      We show actual photos taken at site

                                                                                                                                      We don’t just show the computer generated 3D images as many new start-up firms do. You can see many such examples all over internet. They can only show you the computer generated imaginary views, and cannot show the completed real life photos as you see in our site.

                                                                                                                                      It is very easy to show a computer generated image. But it takes years of experience to bring it to reality. We excel in bringing out the design in reality, so that The final result invariably looks much better than what we showed in 3-D views .

                                                                                                                                      Our Design Quality

                                                                                                                                      Our designs are not 'run of the mill'. Each and every house or interior is custom designed to need and the requirement of the people who will use it. We impart so much thought process, hours of brain storming sessions, deep research work in to each and everyone of them. And it takes typically about 1.5 to 2 years to complete the results that you see in our website. This kind of result requires everyday involvement from us during the entire period of construction.

                                                                                                                                      How We Charge

                                                                                                                                      We charge on square foot basis. Hence, whether you use Vitrified tiles or Italian marble for flooring, our fee will be the same. So, when we suggest a costly finish, you will not get the feeling that we are doing it to hike our fee. At the same time we charge as per the Council of Architecture norms.

                                                                                                                                      Turnkey solutions

So your involvement in the process of construction will be almost nil. But if you prefer to involve more in the process, you are always welcome.

During important stages of concreting our engineers will visit the site and they will sign and certify that the implementation is as per our drawing. The concreting can proceed only after this. If you prefer, we arrange for the site visits by our team more frequently at minimum extra fee.

                                                                                                                                      Always with you

We will be with you safe guarding your interest until the complete hand over of the project. So we coordinating each and every stage of the construction. Because of this aspect, you might find our fee to be little more than our competitors. But the enormous value addition you get compensates much more than the little extra that you pay to us.

                                                                                                                                      A Final word before you decide

                                                                                                                                      People spend enormous amounts for constructing their homes. But if the design is given to improper people who might make blunders in the design. For example, if they place one column in a wrong location, you are stuck with that column forever in your life. This negates the small saving you had in choosing a firm offering lesser fee than us. Please think about this before you finalise your architect.
