Apoorva returned to India in 2006 as a partner at reD, and was instrumental in building the then young firm, along with the founder architects to the leading practice that it is.

“Apoorva is one of India’s most creative and innovative architects. She worked with us on the new office for The Convergence Foundation. Her sense of design is subliminal and the execution is world class. I would want to work with her on many other projects.”

“Apoorva did a fantastic job with, what I would say, was a difficult brief. We needed an office space that looked thoroughly professional yet had a strong aesthetic, warm, welcoming feel. Apoorva pulled it off with meticulous planning and sharp execution incorporating all our demands. We couldn't have been happier with the end product.”

“When I first saw some of the offices Apoorva designed, it was love at first sight! She is an incredibly talented designer/ architect and her designs are always unique and visually stunning. She even handles all the details from selecting furniture, accessories, artwork, etc. She’s very easy to work with and genuinely cares for her clients. I only wish I had more offices to give her to design for me.”
Karen Wang
(Director, Head of Real Estate, Workplace & Security (REWS) at SoftBank Investment Advisers)

“Her buildings remind you of Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe and her interiors remind you of William Morris. That is saying something unusual at a minimum. But the statement is in large measure true. Apoorva Shroff has emerged as an intriguing talent on the Indian scene. And that is again an important point. Despite all her international cosmopolitanism, Apoorva is very Indian. She is young and it remains to be seen how her style evolves. I am not an astrologer and will not try to predict. But as someone interested in the continuing saga of buildings and interiors in India, I can only wish her well. Go Apoorva!”

“In setting up the new office in Mumbai for the Prestige Group West Zone office, the vision statement I set out to Apoorva was to create a space that brought gravity befitting the stature of the Prestige brand but at the same time was understated and extremely customer centric.Lyth, driven by Apoorva and her team, has done an absolutely fantastic job to truly to translate this vision to reality in every respect - from the inspired falcon in the grand boardroom to the inviting customer lounges to the bright workspaces and the tiffin room as a collection point for employees. Most importantly the entire office is a representation of our business using concrete, stone and rebar with a large touch of technology and greenery.Has been a true pleasure Lyth and thx for bringing the Prestige falcon to life in Mumbai in such spectacular fashion!”
