AR. RAVI REDIJ
Chief Principal Architect / Proprietor

I was born with a passion for architecture, a field that would define my life’s work. Graduating from the prestigious Sir J.J. School of Architecture in 1980, I embarked on a journey that blended creativity, technical expertise, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. My qualifications were further enhanced by passing the Qualifying Examination of the Indian Institute of Architects (IIA) and completing a Certificate Course in Landscaping from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. In 1988, I had the opportunity to attend a Summer School in Conservation Studies at New York University (England), which broadened my perspectives on architectural conservation. Additionally, I was selected for a Master’s in Architecture, specializing in Third World Housing, a testament to my dedication to addressing housing challenges.

Throughout my career, I have remained deeply connected to professional organizations. I am a Fellow Member of the Indian Institute of Architects and a Lifetime Member of the Council of Architecture.

My expertise extends to interior design as an Associate Member of the Indian Institute of Interior Designers. Furthermore, as a Fellow Member of the Institution of Valuers and a Registered and Approved Valuer with the Government of India, I have provided my valuation expertise for various projects, including serving on the Panel of the Mumbai High Court.

For over 40 years, I have been practicing independently as the Proprietor of Impact Design Group, leading a team of Associate Consultants, Technical and Administrative Assistants, and Experts. My extensive experience and expertise in architecture, interior design, and valuation have enabled me to contribute significantly to various projects.

Beyond my professional practice, I have been actively involved in academia, serving as a Visiting Lecturer for Interior Design and Working Drawings at Sir J.J. School of Arts. My engagement with New York University (England) for studies in Conservation and Third World Housing further enriched my knowledge and global perspective. Additionally, I have had the honor of being a member of the Housing Area and Development Board, a statutory board constituted by the Government of Maharashtra, where I have contributed to policy and development strategies.

Over the years, I have provided architectural and interior consulting services for leading organizations, including the Podar Group, Kamath Group of Hotels and Restaurants, Sam Hoteliers, A to Z Departmental Stores, and the Jhamb Group. These collaborations have allowed me to bring my vision and expertise to a diverse range of projects.

My journey as an architect continues to be fueled by a deep-seated passion for design, innovation, and service to the community. Each project, lecture, and consultancy is an opportunity to leave a lasting impact, shaping spaces that inspire and serve generations to come.
