About the Company
Founded in 2020, John Mathew Architects designs residential and commercial buildings shaped by a simple conviction: form follows function.
The studio has a particular flair for space planning on challenging, tight urban sites, drawing generous, well-ordered spaces from compact plots. In every project, natural light and ventilation take primary importance.
- Master Planning — Organising sites and groups of buildings into clear, workable layouts
- Architecture — Residential and commercial buildings, from concept to completion
- Interior Design — Purposeful interiors, considered down to material and detail
- Renovation — Reworking existing buildings with a renewed layout and a new life
- Landscape — Gardens and outdoor spaces that complete the building
Founder
Ar. Tiju John Mathew
Principal Architect
He studied Architecture at Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi. Early in his career he worked with multidisciplinary firms in Dubai, where he deepened his design knowledge, his understanding of design approach and his command of materials at an international level. Driven by the ambition to establish his own practice, he moved to Kochi, Kerala, to learn the region’s design approach and began taking on projects big and small. In 2020 he founded John Mathew Architects in Kochi, which he leads as Principal Architect.
His work spans residential and commercial buildings, with a flair for planning challenging, tight urban sites. Guided by the principle that form follows function, he gives primary importance to natural light and ventilation.
