Tribe Den, Chandigarh

How the form was found

Five moves from a block to a building: shift, curve, step down — until two wings of balconies hold a court.

Design in full circle

How we work

Every project goes all the way round: from the first walk on the site to the day the keys change hands.

  1. 90°

    Listen and walk the site

    The brief, the family, the slope, the light, the trees worth keeping.

  2. 180°

    Concept and drawings

    Plans and sections, the idea in a sketch, then measured.

  3. 270°

    3D, detail and approvals

    Renders you can walk through, working drawings, materials and permissions.

  4. 360°

    On site to completion

    Regular visits from the foundation to the finishing, so the building is the drawing.

On site

From drawing to site

We draw it, render it, and stay with it while it is built.

The name

Every name has a story. This is ours.

DIYAR 360° Architects wasn't chosen because it sounded modern — it was chosen because it reflects where I come from and how I believe architecture should be practised.

Growing up in Kullu, I was surrounded by the majestic deodar, known locally as diyar. The deodar, often called the timber of the gods, stands for strength, resilience and timeless beauty. It has been part of our landscapes, our heritage, and even the names of places across Himachal. Choosing Diyar was my way of carrying a piece of those roots into my work.

Diyar

Inspired by the deodar
Locally known as diyar in Himachal Pradesh.
Timber of the gods
A symbol of strength, resilience and timeless beauty.
Rooted in Kullu
Forests, places and memories carry its name. Staying connected to those roots.

360°

A full circle
The top view of a plan forms a circle — a complete angle of 360°.
Every angle matters
Seeing every angle, every detail and every possibility.
Complete vision
From concept to completion: context, function, structure, aesthetics, sustainability and the people who use it.
DIYAR 360° Architects is where Himalayan roots meet a complete vision for design.
