Studio SSA, led by Architect Samir Shah, formerly a partner at KSA Design Planning Services P. Ltd. (1986 - 2021), is a dynamic spatial design practice located in Ahmedabad, India. Our studio specializes in creating built environments across diverse programs, scales, and complexities, ranging from urban development and housing to healthcare, institutions, post-disaster rehabilitation, residential, and recreational projects.

Our experience at KSADPS encompassed numerous projects spanning 12 states in India, as well as ventures in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan. At Studio SSA, we offer a comprehensive range of services, including architectural design, urban design, interior and furniture design, and project planning and development. We approach each project with a user-centric and democratic ethos, ensuring that our designs resonate with the needs and aspirations of the communities they serve.

Our portfolio reflects our dedication to creating socially adaptive and ecologically sensitive spaces that endure amidst the ever-changing socio-political landscape. Embracing a hands-on approach, we find joy in the process of creation, whether through sketches, models, 3D visualizations, or meaningful dialogue. Our design philosophy is holistic, often transcending the traditional boundaries between urban planning, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and furniture design.

At Studio SSA, we are committed to crafting spaces that not only fulfill their functional requirements but also enrich the lives of those who inhabit them. Through collaboration, innovation, and a deep understanding of context, we strive to create environments that are both timeless and relevant, leaving a positive impact on the communities and environments they inhabit.
