Reincarnating Raipur
Born in the City of Oranges, Nagpur, and brought up in Raipur, Mr.Satyadeep Sonar is the founder and partner at Urban Saints. For his schooling, he went to Rajkumar College, Raipur. Then, he completed his undergrad in Architecture at Manipal School of Architecture and Planning, Manipal, Karnataka, and for his postgrad he went to The Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, commonly referred to as the AA, which is the oldest independent school of architecture in the UK and one of the most prestigious and competitive in the world.
Since both his parents were in the construction and interior line, it was somewhere in his subconscious to become an architect. Some of his achievements include redeveloping a city scale in Brazil and being a part of the development team of Euston Station in London. While he was completing his postgrad, he got recruited on campus by Sanjay Puri Architects, Mumbai. He worked there for a while, before finally coming back to Raipur In the year 2018 and starting Urban Saints with his college mates, which has been awarded as one of the Youngest Rising Professional Institutes in India by IIID.
Throughout his journey, his parents have been his biggest motivators and mentors. On being asked about the most surprising element of his life, he recalls the day when he became a father, and says, “There’s no other experience like that”. He works day and night to be the best role model for his little man, the same way his parents were for him.
He believes that some things happen by fate and some things are to be done by us as humans and encourages everyone to do their very best even in the smallest of projects. You shouldn’t lack in putting effort and working hard. When it comes to work, he believes in turning his client’s vision into reality by tailor-making every client’s dream and feels best designs come when there’s healthy communication between the architect and the client. Satyadeep is truly a man of principles and ideals and his mantra for life is “do your hard work in silence and let your success make the noise.
More power to you.
‘Wish you a very happy birthday sir’
