In the first episode of #PartnersBeyondDesign, we get candid with the first couple of architecture — Architect Pearl and Hafeez Contractor.
Architect Hafeez Contractor is a legend when it comes Indian architecture. Residential developments, skyscrapers, townships, railway stations, educational institutions, infrastructure, civic redevelopment projects and even low-cost housing, the architect has left his indelible mark on every aspect of Indian architecture. His wife Pearl, too is an architect. Being in the same profession has its own set of challenges, however, it’s how you strike the balance between your professional and personal lives that makes all the difference. In a candid conversation with Architecture + Design, the couple tells us how they remain together, beyond work, beyond design…partners in life!
