Della Tecnica High on Innovation, Creativity and Sustainability
Renowned maverick architect Jimmy Mistry has proved that it is not necessary to take a degree from an elite design school to set new benchmarks in design but it is experience that is more important and also the biggest strength to grow. A mechanical engineer by qualification he shakes the roots of conventional architectural wisdom and carves a niche for himself. His passion for work extends beyond the ordinary, which can be seen in his all projects.
He started his career by doing contracting jobs and executing projects, then worked with the Italian design firm for three years as an importer. That was the turning point of his life which gave him abundance of experience and real understanding of building materials, executions, design and layout. After getting sufficient expertise, he decided to enter into the field of interior design by doing turnkey projects and then finally into the space of architecture.
Today, Jimmy Mistry is at the helm of Della Tecnica a trailblazing organization with a diverse presence in architecture & master planning, interior design consultancy, turnkey interior fit out, modular furniture, development, adventure, resorts and banquets. Started this architectural practice in 1996 with a handful of people and few lakh rupees, the firm today has a turnover of over Rs.100 crore and over 2500 professionals network across five offices in India and serves clients as trusted advisors, combining localized expertise with global perspective. The firm gets tremendous success which is beyond its anticipation.
Till date, he has transformed several ET 100 corporate cultures into dynamic environments and crafted many value propositions into experiences from major master planning and mass housing projects to large scale architectural projects from shopping malls to TV studios to high profile residences and hospitality design.
Despite his already notable accomplishments, he is driven to constantly reinvent himself and his work. His gift is to turn the object of his commission instantly into a place of charm and pleasure. Operating at an award winning level for over a decade, the firm design philosophy is simple and prior to executing the projects, it focuses on every minute details from building solutions to the choice of colours, even lighting material is determined by the nature of the buildings. The team undertakes extensive research about the project and its users before accepting an assignment and believes that the projects on which it work, should be a landmark.

Designing with a passion, purpose, sensitivity and humility, we strive to create unique, inspirational, and path breaking structures and landmarks that stand the test of time. Our design solutions result from a collaborative process that encourages our multidisciplinary teams to create successful buildings that are visually appealing, comfortable, flexible, secure and efficient - all in a conscious attempt to initialize a silent conversation with every spectator, and at the same time bringing out a balance in form and function."
