SUDHIR S. JAMBHEKAR, FAIA, RIBA, LEED

Senior Partner

Sudhir Jambhekar joined FXFOWLE in 2000 when the firm he co-founded, Jambhekar Strauss, merged with FXFOWLE. An architect and urban designer with 35 years of experience on a wide variety of project types and scales, Sudhir is now the Design Partner for the International Studio. Sudhir approaches design as a perceptive search for meaning and usefulness, rooted in the belief that all elements are part of the larger whole, and each element of the built environment is not only worthy of, but requires, design excellence.

Sudhir is the Design Principal in the firm’s International Studio. His major current projects include a 40-hectare masterplan of Dubai’s Business Bay for Dubai Properties, a winning competition for an 301 meter tall mixed-use tower in Mumbai, multiple residential and office towers in India, the Middle East, China, Korea, and IT Park (middle income housing outside of Delhi). Additional current projects include mixed-use towers in Sophia, Bulgaria and Moscow and a 500-acre master planning project on the Dubai Waterfront for Nakheel. He recently won the design competition for Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Crossing Bridge in Dubai, which will measure 1,600 meters with an arch 205 metres high and 667 metres long. He led the design of the award-winning competition entry for the Queens Museum of Art expansion, chosen as one of five finalists, as well as the firm’s innovative entry for the new Perth Amboy High School competition, also a finalist. He was the lead designer for Manhattan’s new Second Avenue Subway and also designed several light rail stations in the New York area.

Sudhir received a bachelor of architecture degree from the University of Bombay and a master of architecture and urban design from Columbia University.
