Principal Designers at Thirdspace Architecture Studio
Based in India

Educated at Bangalore University and the Architectural Association in London, he returned to Belagavi in 2003 to found Thirdspace, exploring architecture through professional projects, teaching, writing, and urban advisory. Namrata Betigiri, partner at Thirdspace Architecture Studio alongside Praveen, brings rich global exposure from her education and work in Mumbai and the United States.
