4worldlovers: ABM (formerly ABM Architects) is a Mumbai based Architecture & Interior Design Firm. Alfaz Miller established ABM Architects soon after receiving his Bachelor of Architecture from J.J. School of Architecture in 1972; his daughter Aahana Miller now manages the practice. Aahana Miller, completed her Master of Architecture at The University of Pennsylvania with a Minor in Historic Preservation. She also has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture from Rhode Island School of Design.


ABM's wide experience spans major institutional and corporate projects, private buildings, offices, airport interiors, hotels, health, residential spaces, heritage and conservation work. The firm enjoys a reputation for architecture and design solutions that are varied, comprehensive, and most importantly, client-focused. Every ABM creation aims to integrate a timeless aesthetic with functional design, an objective that has been at the core of the firm’s culture since its inception.


ABM’s design excellence has been acclaimed by the many awards and citations it has received. Client satisfaction has always been the firm's principal objective - its success measured by the fact that 80% of ABM’s projects originate from loyal clients.

It has consciously chosen to remain a boutique design firm undertaking selected projects at a time. This helps the firm stay focused on the work at hand, paying attention to detail and be accessible to the client at all times. The firm evaluates wide-ranging ideas from the client, the project team and the consultants. This is made possible by ABM’s highly-efficient infrastructure within its own office space at Prabhadevi in the heart of the city, which houses multiple teams working collaboratively on several projects.

The firm has evolved with changing times and has young designers, guided by experienced professionals in the core team. The skilled and collaborative workforce of 25 in-house architects, designers, 3D visualizers and engineers, is well-supported by competent structural and service consultants. ABM collaborates with skilled MEPF engineers (Mechanical, Engineering, Plumbing and Firefighting) who work closely with the architects and interior designers to deliver comprehensive services to each project.

We understand that every job is unique in size, budget and constraints, and thus requires an individual approach. This knowledge is embedded in the firm's creative ability and technical expertise, from the concept to the construction stages of each project.

Architecture, to Alfaz Miller, has always represented a satisfying amalgamation of his various interests: he loved to sketch; was interested in science and math. Alfaz Miller established ABM soon after achieving his Bachelor of Architecture from JJ School of Art in 1972. Miller’s proficient design skills, grounded ethics, and sharp business acumen, continue to define his self-sufficient firm - which possesses all capabilities required for transforming ideas on paper, into brick-and-mortar realities.

Miller’s success story was triggered by the restoration of the interior architecture of ANZ Grindlay’s Fort office in Mumbai (1989), overcoming the challenges posed by a design intervention in a functional workspace. The project cemented ABM’ reputation for creating solution-driven design programs, and prioritizing quality of work, timelessness. Above everything, the project laid a foundation for a long-lasting client relationship, which ABM prides itself on maintaining.

Under Miller’s guidance, ABM has successfully delivered several projects across all scales and buildings typologies: banks, office buildings, airport lounges, residential complexes and villas, each responding to the unique programmatic constraints and the client’s exact needs.

From small projects which are composed with careful artistry to a highly specialized vocabulary of interior design to medium and large architectural projects for individuals, corporations, and institutions; Alfaz is comfortable working on both ends of the design spectrum.

As principal architect of an award-winning firm, Alfaz Miller himself is the recipient of several accolades and awards. He is driven by the constant desire to leave a mark on the architectural skyline; and his achievements are a constant reminder that design is still his true calling.

Aahana completed her Master's of Architecture at The University of Pennsylvania (PennDesign) with a Minor in Historic Preservation. This complemented her Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture from Rhode Island School of Design, which focused on adaptive re-use.

At PennDesign she was the Director for Penn Student Design, liaising with graphic designers to produce creative materials for various marketing projects. She was also the Chair of PennDesign’s Women in Architecture group, an organization that aims to increase the incidence and visibility of women in the architectural profession.
