SCHAFBOCK is German for the Big Horn Mountain goat, who roams wild in the ranges of north America and is famous for its big spiral curved horns – which gives one of the natural forms of evolution – the spiral. Besides being aesthetic, these animals are also legendary for their stubbornness & fights for what they believe in,
where they will refuse to budge from their territory often taking opponent

s head on. Our firm attempts to evolve professionally competent, cost efficient solutions, bringing these design intensive, fantastic solutions, within short reach of a segment, which deserve professional services of professionals, but is often unable to, by not compromising on its principles and ethics. Composed of a group of dedicated, young and dynamic group of designers, structural and construction engineers who see every project as a challenge and every challenge achievable. Though specialising in the design and engineering of tensile structures, the firm preoccupies itself immensely in the concept of Leichtbauflachentragwerke (lightweight design) which forms a basis of their inquiry into geodesics, organic structures, tensigrity and foldable structures. Besides working on real live projects, we also involve ourselves in researching and developing newer applications and methods of bringing these technologies into the
mainstream.

It’s easy to admire the overall form. The real story lies in the details.

The internal ceiling showcases carefully executed joineries that ensure both structural stability and visual continuity.

Given the highly corrosive environment, the structure required a rigorous protection system, including shot blasting, hot-dip galvanising, epoxy coatings and PU top coats.

Details like these are what allow the structure to perform consistently over time.

Before the final form, there’s process, precision, and a lot of groundwork.

From surface preparation to coating applications and structural assembly, every stage of this project demanded close attention to detail. Ex*****on in such environments isn’t just about building. It’s about building right, layer by layer.

These behind-the-scenes moments capture the effort that often goes unseen, but makes all the difference in the long run.

A space built to serve, every single day. year after year

Presenting the Tensile Shade installed for Somnath Trust Nishulk Bhojanalay - a dining hall that offers free meals to devotees and visitors at the Somnath Temple. Designed to be low-cost, low-maintenance and high-footfall while maintaining comfort and durability, this space plays a quiet but essential role in the overall experience.

Completed nearly two years ago, we recently had the opportunity to revisit the site and capture how it continues to perform over time.

What made our client pick us and our design?
The sensitivity towards the project, the intense focus on timelines and quality and most importantly, the ability to deliver this in the budget.

This is what you get when you hire us.
From paramedics, between long shifts to families waiting through difficult hours, to people stranded between departments, this sit-out has quietly become a shared pause point for many. It was a small addition, making a meaningful difference.

The roof was designed similarly, to keep it clear, simple, unobstrusive, light and sturdy.

Designed to protect against Ahmedabad’s harsh sun, the tensile shade allows the space to be used comfortably throughout the day. In addition to all this, it addresses budget issues for a highly cost-sensitive, quality-intensive client.

No tables. No formal setting.

Just thoughtfully designed concrete seating, surrounded by greenery, creates pockets of calm.

Spaces where conversations happen quietly, where people sit with their thoughts, or simply take a break from everything around them. Neutral colors, nothing that the eye catches. Sometimes, that’s all a space needs to offer.

Projects like these are never built alone.

We’re grateful to Veer Narmad South Gujarat University for trusting us with their vision and giving us the opportunity to bring it to life.

A special mention to Er. Hiren Desai (Sai Consultant, Surat), whose structural expertise played a key role in shaping this project.

From concept to completion in just 5 months - this was truly a collaborative effort.

A true success of a structure is when the users celebrate it.

What was once an abandoned stage, is now a vibrant space occupied by students everyday before and after class, the host of some of the biggest events in Surat, gatherings and celebrations - all year round. From university functions to inter-college events across South Gujarat, this amphitheatre has become an active, vibrant hub. Even media coverage and live broadcasts have taken place under this structure.

The structure isn't just a cover, it redefined the space.
