DHARATAL

Dharatal - The surface of the Earth.
We are an architecture and development studio focusing on contemporary design, rural landscapes, furniture and heritage.

[DHARATAL @DHARATAL1]

We design to incorporate passive cooling techniques, indirect lighting techniques, natural ventilation, sun shades and saving local species of trees planted on the site in our residential projects.

Adaptive reuse is a big part of urban heritage revival. One such project we have is designing cafeteria within the historical market of Botosani in Romania. This city of Romania has famous citizens like Mihai Eminescu.
