MSA | Mission and Vision


MSA (established in June 1995) derives its name from the Founder’s initials and its focus on ‘Metaphysical Spacial Attributes’. MSA has focused on the Client, their desires, their focus, their aspirations and draws it strengths from translations of these into built-form.

MSA through its long list of completed projects, has delved into all styles of architecture imparting a contemporary combination of the best of our traditions with modern materials to offer the Clients cost effective, functional, low maintenance and attractive solutions.

At MSA we believe that the built environment has a direct impact on the physical health, mental well being and psyche of the inhabitants thereby impacting their prosperity, productivity and whole life.

With a long list of successfully completed projects to her credit, spanning all scales from small residences to multi utility complexes spread across the country and overseas, her portfolio covers customised residences, corporate headquarters, multiple installation branding, budget hotels, luxury destinations, data centers and many workshops. Her affinity to traditional language in facades and detailing is almost her trademark.

An academic bent and zest to be in the know spur her to have a fair grasp of most architectural software prevalent in the field. Her exacting standards push the team @ MSA to continually update their skills and produce nothing less than perfect. Her many years of experience with top architectural firms lends a confidence to take on any scale of the project and build it to completion. She brings to MSA the best international practices in detailing and coordination with respect to HVAC, plumbing, landscape, structures, and interiors. She has a firm grip on the building codes applicable, though there may be local variations.

As a pioneer in the field of ‘security through architectural design’ she is the first in the country to practice concepts of CPTED (Crime prevention through environmental design) and counter-terrorism aspects through mainstream architectural design. This is her focus and subject of doctoral research. She has authored a few papers on the same and the list is growing every day. She has participated in many Indian and international conferences imbibing and contextualizing all the knowledge for Indian benefit.

Manjari keeps in touch with the latest developments in her field by her various affiliations within and outside India.
