Illuminating Homes and Investments: The Bright Future of Real Estate By Ar. Sitessh Agrawal In the ever-evolving landscape of real estate, homes have transformed from simple living spaces into  sustainable investments that shape both lives and futures. With 22 years of experience under the  banner of Sankalp Designers, the focus has always been on pushing boundaries and creating spaces  that go beyond aesthetics—balancing functionality, sustainability, and value.  The need for green, eco-conscious living is now redefining real estate. Homebuyers are no longer  just looking for a place to live; they seek environments that reflect their values and contribute to a  healthier lifestyle. This is where the future of real estate truly shines—integrating green design,  smart technology, and innovative thinking to build homes that not only meet today’s needs but also  stand the test of time.  Over the years, the demand for sustainable homes in Pune has grown significantly, signaling a shift  in how real estate is perceived. No longer a luxury, sustainability is an essential element in modern  home design. Every project aims to harmonize with nature through the use of eco-friendly materials,  energy-efficient technologies, and thoughtful design that reduces environmental impact. Whether  it’s installing solar power systems, integrating rainwater harvesting, or designing layouts that  maximize natural light and ventilation, the focus is always on building smarter, greener homes.  This green movement isn’t just about benefiting the planet—it’s also about enhancing the quality of  life for homeowners. Sustainable homes create healthier environments, reduce energy  consumption, and offer long-term savings, all while future-proofing properties against the changing  needs of the market. Green homes have proven themselves to be sound financial investments, with  growing demand driving both property values and rental returns upward.  As the real estate industry continues to evolve, the focus remains on creating not just homes, but  legacies. The future of real estate is about more than bricks and mortar—it’s about building spaces  that are sustainable, innovative, and timeless. In a world that increasingly values eco-conscious  living, investing in a green home isn’t just a choice, it’s the way forward. After all, the homes we  build today should not just withstand time—they should pave the way for a sustainable and thriving Future. [email protected]

Crafting Dreams: The Story of Maverick Architects In the year 2004, a young architect hailing from a small town devoid of architectural heritage and practicing professionals, embarked on a journey to carve his own niche in the field. Fuelled by a deep passion for art, he enrolled in the School of Architecture Akola, from which he graduated in 2004. After completing his professional practice training in Delhi and Nagpur, he proceeded to Pune with a resolute intention to build a successful career.  Ar. Harish Padiya’s path, which began from humble origins, brought him to Pune, where he flourished in his profession. He discovered an opportunity to work with the esteemed architectural firm Metaphors in Pune, which was led by an Ar. Amala Sheth and Anand Bhagat.  From 2004 to 2007, he engaged in a substantial learning experience, contributing to notable projects such as the Wipro, Campus, CNC Club, and the farmhouse of Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty. This phase afforded him exceptional exposure, particularly through collaborations with prominent clients like Baba Kalyani and Azim Premji. Engaging in these projects, particularly those involving multi-crore developments proved to be a transformative experience and laid the groundwork for his subsequent pursuits. These formative years not only enhanced his architectural skills but also strengthened his confidence in managing extensive projects and serving a high-profile clientele. By 2007, his aspirations led him to serve as a consultant architect with Bramha Builders for a duration of one and a half years. This position enabled him to balance consulting responsibilities while also engaging in freelance projects. Nevertheless, the call of entrepreneurship was strong, and in 2009, he founded his own firm, Maverick Architects, beginning with a modest 200-square-foot office located on Dhole Patil Road. By 2010, the expansion of his practice required a relocation to Koregaon Park, Pune, signalling the commencement of a successful independent career. From its inception, His initial freelance endeavors, including the interior design of a flat in Magarpatta, were soon succeeded by larger projects. Over time, his portfolio diversified to encompass industrial, commercial, and residential ventures. Maverick Architects specializes in master planning, urban planning, and various sectors including commercial, residential, corporate, hospitality, and healthcare projects across India. He undertook a variety of projects, such as a hospital in Jalgaon, corporate offices for Tata Magna, and an IT office for Reiter India. The firm’s capacity to handle a wide range of project types while upholding the highest service standards became its hallmark.  Padiya’s designs prioritize sustainability, incorporating energy-efficient solutions and eco-friendly materials, such as red stone from Panshet for a resort and subsoil system for a hospital in Jalgaon. Maverick Architects’ success stems from technical expertise and a client-first approach, fostering long-term relationships. Many past clients continue to engage the firm for new projects, a testament to the trust and satisfaction built over time. A prominent example is the bungalow and hospital constructed for a distinguished doctor in Jalgaon. The hospital, Vanita Multispeciality, along with the doctor’s 18,000 square-foot bungalow, exemplifies the firm’s capability to harmonize design aesthetics with functionality. Moreover, the company has expanded into public infrastructure with projects like a 21-acre stadium, indoor sports facility, and a 100,000 sq. ft. Maheshwari community center. Their innovative, sustainable designs have earned recognition, including awards from SPACIUX CREDAI Mumbai for repurposing a warehouse and WORLD SPARROW DAY award for designing an eco-friendly resort. Words of wisdom to budding architects –  Develop patience, dedicate oneself to hard work, and welcome innovation.
