The Architects of Gaur Alaris (Gaur Plume) — Hafeez Contractor, Site Concepts & Studio Designscape.

Why the Brief Is Split

On Gaur Plume the tower architecture, the club and interior architecture, the landscape and the clubhouse interiors are four separate appointments, per the developer's official Sales Deck 2. Each practice holds one discipline rather than the whole project.

What they share is the brief: Club Regalia, an approx. 1,00,000 sq ft* themed clubhouse (85,000 sq ft building + 15,000 sq ft terrace), 8+ acres of greens, and homes where the peacock language runs from the building's silhouette to the lobby floor to the wardrobes.

Hafeez Contractor (AHC) — Project Architect

Architect Hafeez Contractor (AHC) is the project architect for Gaur Plume, per the developer's official Sales Deck 2. Hafeez Contractor is one of India's most prolific and widely recognised architectural practices — with landmark work including the DY Patil Stadium and the Lavasa hill city, alongside residential towers, commercial complexes, educational institutions, hotels and hospitals across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad and other major Indian cities over the past four decades.

What AHC brings to Gaur Plume

As project architect, AHC is responsible for the macro-scale decisions that shape the development: the massing and form of the project's 8 towers — Eleganza, Evania, Gaudium, Elance, Azura, Orlena, Elara and Aurea — their orientation on the site, the relationship of each tower to the central clubhouse and the 8+ acres of greens, the podium design, the structural and architectural language of the facades, and the planning of common areas and circulation.

Those decisions are fixed before the first slab goes up. On 11.8 acres with 8 towers, tower spacing and podium levels decide how much of the greens each home actually looks at, and no interior fit-out changes it later. AHC's built work is in large-format residential developments at that scale.

For Gaur Plume specifically, the peacock theme imposes an additional design brief on the project architect: the building forms and the relationship of the towers to the circular clubhouse at the centre should, when read from above or from the expressway approach, echo the spread and radiance of a peacock's tail.

OchreInk — Club & Interior Architect

Per the developer's official Sales Deck 2, OchreInk serves as club & interior architect for Gaur Plume — a role distinct from, and complementary to, Studio Designscape's clubhouse interior design credit below. Where AHC sets the macro architectural form of the clubhouse building, OchreInk's brief covers the architectural detailing of the club and interior spaces — the layer between structural architecture and finished interior design, including space planning, material junctions and the architectural framing that the interior design then dresses.

Clint Owen, Site Concepts International — Design Director, Landscape

Clint Owen of Site Concepts International serves as the Design Director for landscape at Gaur Plume, per the developer's dossier. Site Concepts International is an internationally recognised landscape design practice, known for work on resort-quality outdoor environments across Asia and beyond.

What Site Concepts brings to Gaur Plume

Approximately 8 of the total 11.8 acres are allocated to landscaped greens and lifestyle zones, roughly 68% of the site. At that share, the greens are what a resident walks through to reach the clubhouse, not a strip of lawn left over between podiums.

Site Concepts International's brief on Gaur Plume encompasses:

• Thematic planting: The peacock's palette — deep greens, blues, teals, golds — must be readable in the landscape as well as the architecture. This means selecting species for flower colour, foliage colour, seasonal change and sculptural form that carry the theme through colour rather than through literal peacock shapes.
• Zone differentiation: The 8 acres are split into separate lifestyle zones rather than read as one lawn. The zones and gardens that are actually named sit in the developer's sales deck and are listed on our clubhouse and amenities page.
• Hardscape: Pathways, water features, lighting, seating and landscape structures such as pergolas and pavilions are part of the landscape brief.
• Interface with AHC and Studio Designscape: The clubhouse outdoor decks, the tower podium entrances and the ground-level links between outdoor zones are where the landscape meets the building, so they are drawn with the project architect and the interior practice.

Mona Arora, Studio Designscape — Clubhouse Interior Designer

Mona Arora of Studio Designscape is credited as clubhouse interior designer for Gaur Plume, per the developer's official Sales Deck 2 — Studio Designscape also counts India's first LEED Platinum-rated building among its credentials. Studio Designscape is a focused practice bringing the peacock-themed luxury language into the clubhouse, and, per the developer's earlier dossier, into the shared spaces of the project more broadly.

What Studio Designscape brings to Gaur Plume

The role of Studio Designscape sits between the macro-scale decisions of AHC (building form and massing) and the pure landscape work of Site Concepts. It is the practice responsible for the sensory experience of the project at the human scale — what you see and feel when you walk through the clubhouse lobby, the corridors and lift lobbies, and when you move through the common areas of the towers.

The Peacock Club concept sets the material language: the peacock's colours (iridescent teal, deep blue-green, gold) and its textures (the metallic sheen of feather barbules, the geometric eye of the feather's ocellus). What is actually specified in each space is per the sanctioned plans and the Agreement for Sale, and worth asking to see in writing before booking.

Beyond the clubhouse, Studio Designscape brings the themed language into the homes: the standard finishes and fixtures specified for the units, the lobby and lift lobby design at each tower, and the common-area finishes that connect the exterior (AHC and Site Concepts) to the interior (Studio Designscape) as a continuous experience.

How the Design Team Works Together

Club Regalia is four briefs on one building at the same time: an AHC structure, an OchreInk interior architecture, a Studio Designscape interior and a Site Concepts landscape setting. The peacock theme has to hold at the tower silhouette from 500 metres and at the carpet underfoot in the clubhouse.

Coordinating four practices sits with the developer rather than inside one firm's own office, which is a fair thing for a buyer to ask about: who holds the drawings, and who signs off where two disciplines meet.

What the Design Team Means for Buyers

For buyers evaluating Gaur Plume as an investment or as a home, the design team matters in two distinct ways:

1. Quality assurance: The involvement of named, reputable practices creates accountability. AHC's brand is on the building form; Site Concepts' brand is on the landscape; Studio Designscape's brand is on the interiors. Each of those names is on the record in the developer's own sales deck, so a buyer can ask the sales team to confirm the current scope of each appointment in writing.
2. Recognisability: Hafeez Contractor is a recognised name in the NCR market. This page makes no claim about what that does to price.

All design team information is per the developer's dossier. Buyers should independently verify the current scope of each practice's engagement before making decisions on the basis of design team.
