- Our Visionaries -
Ar. Mueen Haris
Principal Architect | Founder
Firstly, Mueen disregards the idea of a creative genius. He believes good architecture can only be achieved by a team of sensible individuals through design, dialogue & discourse.
His practice in a nutshell, is based on the Japanese philosophy of "Kaizen", which translates to constant improvement, and entails that we question and dissect every design that we set out to build or create.
​
As a 2005 graduate from the esteemed Vishweshwaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) and a tech-savvy individual with extensive industry knowledge, Mueen views DS2 not just as a business but as a close-knit family, nurturing it accordingly.

"An inch saved, is an inch used wisely."
Haris Sait
The Advisor, the Sage
With a wealth of experience, a strong business acumen, and profound industry expertise, Haris Sait played a pivotal role in the inception of DS2 Architecture.
He consistently serves as the guiding force and unwavering support upon which the entire organization thrives. He is a business veteran with a modicum of knowledge & experience under each field of construction.
Afthab Haris Sait
Chief Financial Officer
Afthab possesses a natural aptitude for business and an acumen of negotiation skills, making him an indispensable figure in our organization. He adeptly handles a wide range of responsibilities including procurement, financial management, as well as overall administration and management.
​
Afthab's core philosophy centers around effective time management and a strong work ethic, both of which play pivotal roles in ensuring the seamless and efficient operation of our firm.

Walk and enjoy the journey."
The Design Team
- From Sketch to Cement -
Ar. Raghuvamshi AB
The Studio Head
A wizard of designing, his sheer dexterity while drafting technical drawings using AutoCAD, is a modern day mystery.
​
Vamshi believes that the path to good design is one that doesn't exist. Instead, it's one that you pave by yourself, after having taken every wrong path and learnt from every mistake along the way.
​
His respect for the elders & deep regard for his seniors, are testaments to why he leads the design team today.
