For over four decades, DG ACE Pvt. Ltd., formerly known as Design Group, has been delivering thoughtful and comprehensive design solutions across India. Rooted in experience and driven by evolution, we believe good design is not about creating signatures, but about creating spaces that truly respond to people, purpose, and context.
With offices in Pune and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, we offer multidisciplinary consultancy services in Architecture, Interior Design, Industrial Projects, Project Management Consultancy, Structural Design, MEP Consultancy, Environmental Consultancy, and Government Liaison.
Over the years, we have had the opportunity to work with leading corporates, industries, MNCs, and Indian businesses across diverse sectors. Our strength lies in combining deep domain expertise with a creative yet highly practical approach, ensuring every project is efficient, functional, contextually responsive, and built with long-term value in mind.
At DG ACE, we approach every project with sincerity, clarity, and responsibility. We value collaboration, attention to detail, and solutions that are appropriate rather than excessive. Our work is guided by the belief that design should simplify processes, enhance experiences, and contribute meaningfully to business and people alike.
Backed by a passionate and experienced team, we continue to create spaces that balance creativity with practicality, aesthetics with performance, and vision with execution.
