At LAB, Vatsal plays a pivotal role as a design lead, shaping projects from their earliest conceptual narratives through to detailed execution and on-site realization. His work spans a wide range of residential typologies, where he is deeply involved in material research, design development, consultant coordination, and the orchestration of multiple agencies to ensure seamless translation from idea to built form. Drawing from his diverse academic and professional grounding, he brings a layered sensitivity to context, craft, and construction into every project he leads.

Vatsal believes in harnessing the intangible dimensions of architecture. For him, the most enduring works are those that dissolve the awareness of time and expand one’s sense of place to resonate with the cosmos—spaces that achieve an ineffable grace and touch deeper emotional registers. He sees architecture as a threshold between the tangible and the intangible, where matter, light, proportion, and experience converge. This philosophy informs his approach at LAB, where each project is pursued through an intense and continuous inquiry into spatial depth, meaning, and experiential richness.

With nearly nine years of industry experience, Vatsal continues to lead and manage multidisciplinary design teams at LAB, overseeing projects across scales from conceptualization to delivery. He anchors the design process with clarity and rigor, while nurturing a culture of thoughtful exploration within the studio. His role extends beyond design authorship into mentorship, quality control, and strategic decision-making—ensuring that every project reflects LAB’s commitment to contextual intelligence, material integrity, and architectural precision.
