We author narratives through design — creating spaces that inspire and intrigue human experiences with dynamic, sustainable, high-performing solutions for the benefit of People, Projects and the Planet.
Urban Frame is a knowledge-based design firm that operates from studios in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Singapore — with a body of work spanning residential, commercial, urban design, institutional, hospitality, cultural and mixed-use developments.
Over twenty years of practice, the firm has gained a reputation for designing and delivering forward-looking, sustainable, high-performing projects. Every brief begins with the same question: what is the responsibility of this place to the people, the city and the century it will outlive?
Three interconnected practices,
one design philosophy.
We work fluidly across scale — drawing the joint between a door and a wall with the same intent we bring to the seam between a building and a city.

Philosophy
Architecture as the silent frame of human experience.
“We do not build boxes. We frame the dialogue between nature, the city and the people who move between them — slowly, attentively, in the language of mass, light and time.”
— Julian Thorne, Founding Partner
Our methodology is disciplined and slow: deep contextual inquiry, conceptual rigour, material honesty and a long view of how a building will weather, age and serve generations beyond our own.
