RMA Architects

RMA Architects is an architecture and urban design practice with studios in Mumbai and Boston. It grew out of a studio Rahul Mehrotra set up in Mumbai in 1990, and was re-formed as RMA Architects in 2010. Four principals lead the studio.

Its work includes houses, offices, institutions, art spaces, retail and the conservation of historic buildings, for government agencies, NGOs, companies and private clients. The studio works closely with local craftspeople and contractors to develop construction methods suited to each place. Projects include the CEPT University Library in Ahmedabad, Hathigaon in Jaipur, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences rural campus at Tuljapur, and the restoration of the Chowmahalla Palace in Hyderabad.
