Practice

Thoughtful design,
deeply collaborative.

Studio Pomegranate was established in 2013 by Shweta Shah and Pranav Naik with a commitment to integrated, collaborative design. We seek out opportunities to improve the design process and ensure the growth of everyone involved — clients, collaborators, and community.

Environmental appropriateness is the foundation of every decision we make — from orientation and material selection to building systems. We design for the complete life cycle of a building, enabling it to adapt to changing programmes and needs over time.

01
Environmental appropriateness
Sustainability embedded in every decision — orientation, materials, systems, and the full life cycle of the building.
02
Collaborative process
Design grows through genuine exchange — with clients, communities, makers, and every person who touches the work.
03
Adaptive buildings
We design for the complete life cycle, enabling structures to accommodate change in programme and need over time.
04
Knowledge sharing
Active participation in education, lectures, and mentorship — putting ideas back into the field that shaped us.
