We had a 35 year old dream. Dream of a house which could be called Home. The search to make this 35 year old dream come true... took us to Italy, where by sheer providence we got Behzad’s reference from three different people related to the interior world.
Rest they say is history and our dream Home was ready at Ahuja Towers. The sheer magnificence of our Home has floored all friends, relative, business associates and family. The best virtue of an interior designer / architecture is to see the world from the prism of the house owner’s eyes.
Behzad has the ability to see through the prism and create the awe inspiring experience. Today Behzad is a family to all of us.

Architecture is a profound art of reciting historical and magnificent tales in a legendary form. The BNK Group yields marvellous architectural concepts with the assistance of our top architects and interior designers.
Creating top-class designer compositions is our pièce de résistance. We design to evoke and capture the charisma of your commercial or residential project through expert consulting and executable skills. At The BNK Group, engineers, architects, and design consultants make sure to add grace, grandeur, and sensuality to every concept with our finesse work.
...We believe that every design must gracefully refine and define the dignified artistic value behind the structure made. Architectural concepts are a mark of opulence, and we believe that every design has something to narrate. Sustainable architecture, gothic art, vernacular architecture, renaissance, neoclassical, postmodern, baroque are some primaeval architectural concepts that we have worked on or are currently in the process of creating.
