Heritage documentation, conservation design, and AVD architectural detailing — grounded in the traditional building knowledge of Kerala and South India.
NDVPL's architectural work begins with listening to what a building has to say. Through careful measurement, photography, and material analysis, we build a complete picture of the existing structure before a single design line is drawn.
Our particular strength is AVD construction — the geometry, structural logic, and material craft of arches, vaults, and domes. Whether documenting an existing dome or detailing a new one, we bring the same depth of technical knowledge to every drawing.
Precise as-built documentation of historic buildings — plans, sections, elevations — using total station surveys and hand measurement.
Comprehensive condition assessments and conservation management plans for heritage structures, aligned with INTACH and ASI guidelines.
Specialised architectural detailing for arch, vault, and dome construction — from geometry setting-out to lime mortar specification.
Sensitive redesign of historic structures for contemporary use — new programme without erasing the original spatial character.
Photogrammetric and photographic documentation of historic fabric before, during, and after conservation intervention.
Preparation of planning drawings and documentation required for ASI, INTACH, Municipal Corporation, or heritage committee approvals.
We measure and photograph the existing structure, producing a complete as-built record before any design decisions are made.
Significance, integrity, and condition are evaluated — identifying what must be retained, what can be modified, and what needs repair.
Concept and developed design drawings are produced, tested against heritage guidelines, structural requirements, and client brief.
Full working drawing sets are issued for contractor tender and site use — with material specifications and conservation notes.
