Mr. Mathew Varghese, our founder, recalls the inception of a transformative journey in 1988, when a group of determined students commenced their academic pursuit at the esteemed College of Engineering Trivandrum (CET), under the newly instituted entrance examination by Kerala University. Over the subsequent three and a half decades, their impact on the realms of architecture and engineering, particularly in sustainable and environmentally conscious design, has been profound.

CET’s curriculum, with its emphasis on technical prowess and entrepreneurial spirit, provided the fertile ground for this visionary batch to thrive. From the outset, they demonstrated a remarkable dedication to integrating environmental sustainability into their architectural ventures.

As global awareness of environmental issues heightened, so did their commitment to sustainable architecture. Their holistic approach prioritized the efficient use of local materials and vernacular architectural practices, ensuring harmony with the environment and cultural heritage.

A hallmark of their work was the development of innovative cost reduction strategies without compromising quality or sustainability. Through the utilization of locally available materials and adaptive reuse practices, they exemplified resource efficiency and environmental stewardship.

Their architectural philosophy extended beyond construction, emphasizing optimal space utilization and creating harmonious living environments integrated with nature. Notable features included green roofs, natural ventilation, and passive solar design.

Their projects became tangible models for future generations, showcasing the fusion of sustainability and innovation in mainstream architecture. Many of these professionals went on to become leaders in the architectural community, advocating for sustainable practices and mentoring aspiring architects and engineers.

The legacy of Mr. Mathew Varghese and his peers from CET embodies the transformative power of education, inspiration, and a commitment to environmental stewardship. Their journey stands as a beacon for sustainable and innovative architecture, offering a roadmap for aspiring professionals dedicated to responsible architectural practices and a better world for generations to come.
