Architecture
shaped by the
Fourth Dimension
26 years of practice across residential estates, destination hospitality, industrial infrastructure, and strategic development — rooted in a single philosophy.
We do not design for the moment of completion.
We design for the decades that follow.
FD Design is a New Delhi architectural practice established on 3rd July 2000 by Ar. Vaishali Sharma and Ar. Raghu Sharma. The firm is named for the Fourth Dimension — a design philosophy that treats time, movement, and human experience as structural elements of every project, not afterthoughts.
Across 26 years, the practice has worked at every scale: private luxury residences, destination hospitality, industrial campuses, experiential installations, and large-format strategic development. One standard throughout.

at every scale
FD Design operates across six distinct practice domains — each with its own discipline, client type, and depth of expertise. Together they form a practice that can engage with almost any built environment challenge.
Private homes and bespoke interiors designed around how each family actually lives — not how homes are expected to appear.
Explore →Workplaces and industrial facilities where operational function and design rigour are resolved together, never compromised against each other.
Explore →Large-format private estates where architecture and landscape are conceived to grow together across seasons and generations.
Explore →Hotels, restaurants, spas and experiential dining environments — designed for the guest journey from arrival to lasting memory.
Explore →Development strategy and consulting for landowners and investors — aligning land, capital, brand, and design into coherent opportunities.
Explore →For developers, institutions, and strategic partners — the Envision Partner role where FD Design shapes the development opportunity itself, not just the design.
Explore →Work that endures
beyond completion
Two architects.
One conviction.
26 years.
FD Design was founded on the belief that space is not static. It is experienced through time, movement, and occupation — and it is in that experience that architecture either succeeds or fails.
Ar. Vaishali Sharma and Ar. Raghu Sharma trained at two of India's most respected architecture schools — Sir JJ College of Architecture, Mumbai and the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi. They established the firm on 3rd July 2000 with a shared conviction that would become its name: the Fourth Dimension.
Across 26 years, that conviction has held across every project type the firm has taken on. The approach doesn't change with scale or typology. Context, client, site, and time are always the starting point.
