Architecture / Interiors / Landscape
Astraum Infrastructure is a practice of architects, interior designers and landscape thinkers based in India. We approach every commission as a single composition — building, room, garden — answering to the same climate, the same hand.
Our work is slow on purpose. Stone is chosen at the quarry. Joinery is detailed in section. Light is studied for a year before a window is cut. The result, we hope, is a kind of permanence — the sort that softens rather than dates.
A private residence framed by a single 24-metre cast-in-situ vault. The roof drops to meet the courtyard floor on the south side, choreographing the day's light from a sliver at dawn to a flood by mid-afternoon.
The interior fit-out of a 1970s modernist bungalow. We worked with one stone — Roman travertine — at four scales: floor, plinth, shelf and tabletop. Everything else is plaster, oiled teak, and shadow.
A site-recovery project on a 3-acre coffee estate. Existing rainwater paths were mapped over twelve months and re-cut as a series of stone channels. The pavilion sits lightly above them, a guest in its own garden.
We take on a small number of commissions each year — residential, hospitality, and adaptive reuse. If your project would benefit from slowness, write to us. We answer every letter.
