Architecture + Geometry + Vastu = Harmony and Beauty
Architecture
"Building art is a synthesis of life in materialized form." Bialobroda Architecture applies this principle to each project.
Winston Churchill said, "We shape our buildings and our buildings shape us" and Frank Lloyd Wright said "If you invest in Beauty it will remain with you all the days of your life."
Harmony and Beauty are ideas central to the philosophy of architecture. If a building invokes positive feelings within us, it has done so because it adheres to these timeless principles that elevate our spirit and renews our soul.
We approach each project with a unique creativity that includes collaboration and interaction with clients, builders and end-users. Our committment to healthy, good energy performance, well -designed begins our experience, sensitivity to the clients needs and creativity we bring to every project.

Creating electromagnetic free zones for sleeping is one way of assuring a healthy indoor environment in homes.
Natural light, materials, good proportions and creativity are an architects best friends when it comes to creating architecture that works well for its occupants and fits in with its environment.
Geometry
Ancient Geometry is timeless and has its roots in the great cultures of Egypt, Greece and Persia. It is the same system of geometry that Nature follows. Combining Ancient Geometry and Architecture creates spaces of beauty, proportion and harmony.
There is nature's geometry of plain sight, as in
the seed spiral of a sunflower and then there is the less obvious, hidden geometry within a building's proportions, a paintings composition or as the Renaissance masters discovered in the proportions of the human body. Ancient
Geometry is part of the tapestry of life illustrating the natural order of existence.
Applying ancient geometry to architecture requires an ability to work with the laws of
harmony that govern form.
Researchers have discovered that the proportions of Egyptian, Greek, Persian and Indian temples, as well as the Abbeys and Cathedrals of the Middle Ages make use of many of the patterns found in natural forms as well as in the mathematics of the orbits of the planets in our solar system.
With a renewed emphasis in ancient geometry, architecture has the potential to push building technology into new and exciting directions and
to express in form humanity’s understanding of those principles that are at the root of spiritual, ethical and ecological livingness.
Vastu
The principles of order and harmony behind the Vedic science of architecture called Vaastu Shastra are used to impasrt a sense of well-being into living environments. Vastu is the positive transformation of space through the wisdom of nature.
​
The scientific and natural priciples of Vaastu when appled to interior design result in harmonious spaces that are pleasant and confortable to live in, which in turn make us happy and contented. Vaastu is a Sanskirt word meaning space, nature and environment. Shastra means science.
Vaastu strives towards a synthesis of
physical, psychological and spiritual aspects in the built environment. It creates a spatial quality that clients have described as simply a good feeling which is a natural response to subtle energies that are in balance and harmony.
Vaastu site planning, building design and interior design used in conjunction with Sacred Geometry is especially effective in relating site and the various functions of a building into a unified and harmonious whole.
​
Courtyards, open to sky, a central skylight or cupola, called a Brahmasthans in India, kitchens in the southeast quadrant and doors or windows that act like the lungs of a house are Vaastu ways of instilling a home with great energy.
