Studio Mumbai is an architecture and interior practice based in Mumbai, India, founded by founder Bijoy Jain in 2005. In 2020, Bijoy Jain was awarded the 14th Alvar Aalto Medal, which is named after the Finnish architect Aalto. Designed by Aalto himself, the award was established in 1967 to recognize creative architectural work.

In 1990, founder Bijoy Jain graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, USA and worked with Richard Meier before returning to India to set up his own practice. He worked in Los Angeles and London before returning to India. Bijoy Jain has taught at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, the Yale School of Architecture at Yale University in the United States, and the Universita Della Svizzera Italiana in Switzerland.

The studio has developed a large body of work that continues to draw on various aspects of Indian and Western culture. What sets the studio apart is its brilliant blend of tradition and modernity. Local resources and Indian craftsmanship form the basis of the highly contemporary architectural design. Studio Mumbai's architecture reflects a deep concern for the relationship between man and nature and insists on the importance of places of genius.

Bijoy Jain believes Studio Mumbai is closer to artistic practice than traditional architectural practice. Architecture as a medium can respond to all variables, giving it the opportunity to be open and inclusive to the forces of nature. When the balance between materials, people and machines is considered in the design process, there is the possibility of slowing down time. What's more important is perception. In other words, create Spaces that don't seem to exist.

In Bijoy Jain's design, the importance of the concept of care and inclusion is often mentioned as a fundamental response to all things, seeking an expression through ideas, materials, makers and recipients. In addition, Bijoy Jain seems to be somewhat obsessed with artefacts and traditional techniques, which he has a strong interest in. Artefacts are objects or symbols that serve as means of communication between civilizations near and far.
