DirectorCarving out a creative practice unique to her, Charu Gandhi sought and succeeded to unify her ardour of craftsmanship with the prowess of her rigorous architectural career in the founding of Elicyon in 2014.
Having joined Allies & Morrison Architects’ London office in 2006, Charu is a RIBA and ARB qualified architect, whose passion for the discipline expanded beyond studying the craft, leading her to teach at the Architectural Association where she had previously read. Moving on to the Candy & Candy group in 2011, Charu blossomed within the international scale of her role – calling upon her global upbringing, and her subsequent expertise and experience of the world’s varied, vibrant cultures. Developing an extraordinary portfolio of commissions traversing across South Asia and Africa, as well as sites closer to home, Charu’s practice is fundamentally – and unquestionably – thoughtful; creatively capitalising on mindful, historical and cultural influences, composed from a life of wonder, adventure and artistry.
