We design spaces where light meets stone and architecture feels like a personal story. From courtyard gardens to quiet reading nooks, our work is built for living.

This double-height living area is a perfect example of how I use architecture to shape light. The skylights and large windows flood the space with sunlight, creating shifting patterns throughout the day and connecting the home to the sky.

I love creating modern interpretations of the traditional Indian courtyard. Here, reclaimed wooden pillars and a terracotta tile roof frame a central green space, making for a grand yet welcoming entrance that feels rooted in heritage.

This modern puja room is designed as a tranquil, sacred space within the home. The curved, sunken seating area, warm backlighting, and traditional floor tiles create a serene spot for prayer and reflection.

Bold choices can define a home. The vibrant turmeric-yellow oxide flooring brings immense warmth to this space, beautifully contrasting with the cool grey tones and connecting the multi-level living areas to the lush green balcony outside.

This custom swing is a piece of storytelling. Designed for clients who once lived in San Francisco, it captures the iconic silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge, turning a personal memory into a functional and playful piece of furniture.

A bedroom should be a retreat. I used a wall of glass blocks to bring in soft, diffused light while maintaining privacy, creating a calm aura for this cozy window seat and study nook.

For me, a design is successful when it's being lived in and loved. Creating quiet, comfortable nooks like this built-in daybed for moments of peace and personal time is a key part of my process.

This video shows the dramatic transformation of a space, from a raw concrete shell to a light-filled, finished home. It's a testament to the vision, planning, and craftsmanship that goes into every project.

About Featured

When we start a home, we don't just pick palettes; we look at light paths. Whether it's sourcing Jaisalmer yellow stone for a warm glow or sketching custom joinery like the Golden Gate swing, every material is chosen for how it ages and feels under your hand. We believe a home shouldn't just look finished; it should breathe.

The open staircase, warm wooden flooring, and a unique terracotta disc ceiling are all tied together by an abundance of natural light and indoor greenery, creating a home that feels both expansive and intimate.7
Here is the exterior of the same residence, showcasing how the interior's complexity is expressed on the facade. A mix of stone, wood, and glass is softened by cascading greenery, allowing the building to settle into its natural surroundings rather than impose on them.
I believe gardens shouldn't just surround a house, they should live within it. This staircase has a thriving garden at its core, a green space that brings life and fresh air right into the center of the home, transforming a simple flight of stairs into a living feature.
Buildings do talk, and this one speaks of light and form. I designed this space with undulating floors and walls pierced by slits of light, creating a conversation between the structure and the sun. The built-in seating flows organically from the architecture itself.

This is the House of Canopies, a biophilic home in Bangalore where cantilevered concrete roofs create deep, protective overhangs. We designed these not just as shelter, but as elements that sculpt light and frame views, connecting the home's raw concrete structure with the lush garden surrounding it.8
