APICES Studio Announces Strategic Expansion into Gujarat

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 15: Award-winning architecture and design firm APICES Studio Pvt Ltd has announced its strategic expansion into Gujarat, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s two-decade journey of architectural excellence. Having established a strong identity as one of Thane’s leading architectural practices, APICES Studio is now extending its footprint to one of India’s fastest-growing states, driven by Gujarat’s sustained economic momentum and rapid urban development.

The expansion aligns with Gujarat’s strong growth trajectory over the past decade, which has catalysed a surge in commercial, industrial, and residential construction across the state. APICES Studio’s foray is timed to coincide with the next phase of Gujarat’s development cycle, where demand for thoughtfully designed commercial and residential spaces is expected to rise sharply.

Focus on High-Growth Urban Centres

In its initial phase, APICES Studio will focus on established and emerging urban hubs, including Ahmedabad, Surat, and Vadodara. The firm plans to introduce a bouquet of specialised architectural and design solutions tailored to the state’s evolving urban, industrial, and commercial requirements.

Gujarat continues to rank among India’s top-performing states, making a substantial contribution to the national economy. According to official data, the state’s per capita income crossed ₹3 lakh for the first time in December 2025, placing Gujarat among the top five state economies in the country. This milestone reflects sustained improvements in labour productivity, infrastructure investment, and broad-based economic participation—nearly quadrupling over the past decade.

Infrastructure-Led Urban Transformation

Large-scale infrastructure projects have played a pivotal role in reshaping Gujarat’s built environment. Developments such as the Dholera Special Investment Region, GIFT City, and the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train have created new business corridors and talent hubs. These projects have accelerated demand for residential townships, commercial offices, logistics infrastructure, and industrial facilities.

Additionally, the growth of Gujarat’s industrial sector—highlighted by investments such as the Micron semiconductor facility—is expected to attract a large professional workforce, further increasing the need for high-quality housing and workplace environments, particularly in and around Ahmedabad.

Commitment to Sustainable Urban Development

The state’s Gujarat@75 Agenda, with its emphasis on sustainable urbanisation, smart cities, and green spaces, closely aligns with APICES Studio’s design philosophy. Beyond residential projects, the rapid expansion of Gujarat’s commercial landscape has fuelled demand for warehouses, manufacturing units, distribution centres, and contemporary office spaces across cities like Ahmedabad and Surat.

Commenting on the expansion, Hardik Pandit, Principal Architect and Director at APICES Studio, said:

“Gujarat represents a powerful growth story with immense untapped potential. Our initial focus will be on Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Surat, with plans to expand further. With our experience in commercial architecture and a strong commitment to environmentally conscious urban design, we see significant opportunities to contribute meaningfully to Gujarat’s sustainable development roadmap.”

Proven Experience in Gujarat

While this announcement marks APICES Studio’s formal expansion into Gujarat, the firm has already delivered landmark projects in the state. These include Bahuratna Vasundhara, a 10,900 sq. ft installation inspired by the concept of Ekatmata Stotra at Gujarat University, and a 50,000 sq. ft industrial facility for Seeba Industries in Umbergaon. Such projects reflect the firm’s expertise in climate-responsive, modernist architecture supported by industry certifications.
