Jasmit Singh Rangr grew up on the coasts of India, and in the UK, and has lived in the US since attending Yale University for college and for graduate school. In these different climates and geographies he developed a deep sensitivity to the interaction between climate, landscape, and architecture.
In 2004 Jasmit founded Rangr Studio, a design firm committed to creating architecture in harmony with its landscape, climate and the environment. The firm has designed and built architecture across the United States and internationally, including the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Costa Rica and India.
Jasmit has dedicated his work to the continued investigation of the relationship between building and site. Each project simultaneously seeks integration with the site's ecology, whether urban or rural, and a poetic experience of its location: a view over a pool seamless with the ocean; a screen porch that hangs over air among tree branches; oak leaves blazing gold through a clerestory at sunset; a city apartment and roof deck from which one sees moving columns of light on asphalt in the rain.
Rangr Studio's work has been published in over 40 countries and has won global awards since 2008.
Since 2019, in addition to practicing architecture, Jasmit has taught undergraduate and graduate students of architecture at the
University of California, Berkeley.
Jasmit is a registered architect in California and New York, and is certified by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).
