About Dhaya
Born and brought up in the earthiness of the down south, at Thanjavur, the city of temples, the land of tradition and cultural glory, he grew up watching this tradition, detailing, and simply, the way of life. His childhood experiences are etched in his memory as special and memorable characters. With a cultural foothold as this, his fascination for sports transformed him into an aspiring athlete, instilling within the qualities of a true sportsman, punctuality, sportsmanship, discipline and speed. Moving forward with this substance, academics offered graduation from the School of Architecture and Planning, Anna University, a post-graduation, in collaboration with Germany, which gave him international exposure and made him the top architects in Chennai. This was where the roots of thought DLEA began, from experiencing diverse cultures and background, experimenting on the culturally evolved Indian built spaces and planning ahead of the present, to evolve contextual yet internationally competitive structures on a global scale, and performing this experimentation constantly. His professional training at Third Space Architecture Studio, experience as a Junior Architect at SPA Designs and project architect at Oasis Design Inc., New Delhi has transformed him into a successful practising one of the best architects in Chennai. He has vast experience in designing an individual house to urban design projects. His experience in a wide range of projects is indeed an asset to DLEA.
