Spasm Design Architects is a Mumbai-based architecture studio founded in 1995 by Sanjeev Panjabi and Sangeeta Merchant. Their early work focused on interior refurbishments and smaller residential projects, and over the years they’ve expanded into single-family homes, villas, commercial office towers and mixed-use buildings in India, and some international work (e.g. in Tanzania).
Their design ethos emphasizes context, materiality, climate-responsive strategies, and creating architecture that feels grounded yet expressive. Many projects explore indoor–outdoor relationships, natural light and ventilation, locally available materials, and thoughtful spatial sequencing.
