Craft. Leadership. Consequence.

Where Two Points Meet.

A single point has no significance until another arrives. At SPAN, we believe meaning emerges only through connection — between people, spaces, and ideas.

The Name

A single point connects — and a span is born

SPAN comes from geometry — a single point connects with another to create a span. It symbolises teamwork, collaboration, and relationships. We were founded as a team, and our ethos has always been to work together.

Why SPAN?

Connection creates a span

Connection creates a span — teamwork, collaboration, relationships. SPAN Architects was founded by a team, with the ethos of always working together.

The Logo

Rooted in the Swastika form

Inspired by the Swastika — a symbol of wellbeing. Four dots represent built structures; four lines represent open spaces where nature flows inside. The SPAN letters appear as dots separated by lines — unity. Indigo blue reflects rootedness to India and professionalism. White lines represent purity and honesty.

Design Philosophy

Nature always finds its way in

Four pillars guide our work: Teamwork — architecture gains meaning through collaboration. Connection — linking people, structures, and nature. Nature in design — natural light, air, and greenery. Balance — beauty with practical use.

The Story Behind the Studio

2016

SPAN Architects Founded in Indore

SPAN Architects was founded in Indore by Ar. Anand Maroo, Ar. Arpit Khandelwal, and Ar. Pratik Gupta — three architects united by a shared belief that architecture should sculpt space, light, and material into meaningful experiences rooted in context and craft.

2018

First Residential Commissions

Completed the studio's first signature residential projects across central India, refining a design language built on light, void, and material clarity. The practice took shape — a working studio with a defined point of view on how architecture meets the everyday.

2020

National Editorial Debut

Elle Decor India featured The Courtyard House in its national print edition — SPAN's first major editorial recognition, validating a residential practice that placed atmosphere and material above formal gesture.

2022

Established Residential Voice

The Concrete House landed in Elle Decor India's pages while The Yellow Stone House drew Architectural Digest India's editorial lens. Two of India's most discerning design magazines published SPAN's work in the same era — a defining year for the practice.
