Our Amazing Team

Founded in 1994 by architect Vipul Patel, VPA Architects has grown into one of Ahmedabad’s quietly influential practices, known for its sensitive, climate-responsive architecture and refined material vocabulary. What began as Vipul’s solo practice has evolved into a second-generation studio, now helmed by principals Ronak Patel, Naiya Patel and Jinal Patel, who carry forward the firm’s ethos of contextual clarity and human-centred design. VPA’s work spans residences, institutional buildings and hospitality projects, unified by a strong grounding in proportion, craft and landscape. Their design philosophy is rooted in simplicity—spaces shaped by natural light, local materials and measured geometries rather than excess. Visually, their projects often blend exposed brick, stone, wood and soft transitions between inside and outside, creating architecture that feels contemporary yet deeply connected to place.

Ar. Vipul C. Patel

Commenced his practice in the field of architecture in 1994. He is the proud founder of Vipul Patel Architects (VPA). His love for teaching and spreading the knowledge gave him honour of becoming a jury member at A+D CERA International awards in 2014, in the category of residential projects.

Ar. Ronak M. Patel

Started his architectural practice in 2010. Being enthusiastic about his work, he attributes greatly to the development of the firm with fresh and young energy. He believes simple designs tend to be more aesthetically pleasing, designs with clean bold lines have a timeless impact.

Ar. Naiya V. Patel

Focusses minutely on interior design and product design, as she loves being creatively inclined in all aspects of design. Having studied abroad (ENSAPB, Paris and then Deakin Melbourne), the travel experience is often reflected in the designs and projects that are headed by her.

Ar. Jinal R. Patel

Specializes in landscape designing (NYIAD, USA), she helps VPA grow further into that horizon. Being immensely creative and having the ability to think out-of-the-box are her stand outs. She is also an artist, whose works are a part of most of the projects headed by VPA.
