This is the 'House of Greens', a project that truly embodies my design philosophy. It was an honor to see it recognized as a finalist at the World Architecture Festival, a testament to our goal of creating homes that are one with nature.
The heart of the 'House of Greens' is this double-height living space. By using large windows and an open layout, we dissolved the barrier between indoors and outdoors, creating a pavilion that is constantly in dialogue with the garden.
The 'House Belaku' is a celebration of light and material. The brick jali screen is not just a design element; it's a functional skin that filters sunlight, ensures privacy, and creates a dynamic play of light and shadow throughout the day.
This is an aerial view of the Shiva Shakti Dham temple complex in Hubli. Tackling a project of this scale was a humbling experience, where we focused on master planning a spiritual journey that respects tradition while creating a serene environment for thousands of devotees.
The concept for the award-winning 'Brick Weave House' was inspired by the memory of traditional weaving. We translated this metaphor into an architectural form, creating a unique parametric brick facade that weaves together heritage and modern design.
This is a view from within the 'Plastreen' installation, looking up at the sky. We created this structure from thousands of waste plastic bottles to raise public awareness about sustainability, contrasting the plastic waste on the outside with the living green wall inside.
I was incredibly proud to accept the DesignScape Award for the 'Brick Weave House'. This national recognition for a private residence under 1500 sq. ft. reinforces my belief that thoughtful, innovative design can make an impact at any scale.
Physical models are a crucial part of my design process. This model for the 'Heal & Heaven' project helped us and the client visualize the interplay between the clinic on the lower levels and the residential duplex above, ensuring the form truly followed its dual function.
For 'A Home by the Park', we aimed to create a feeling of tropical luxury. The design opens up to a central courtyard with a water body, seamlessly connecting the living spaces and bringing the tranquility of nature right into the heart of the home.

About Architectural Design

As an architect in Namma Bengaluru, I’m not just sketching buildings - I’m designing spaces that feel alive and personal. My work is all about finding that “sweet spot” between art, practicality, and the roots of our city.

My Approach

  • I start every project with conversations about your dreams, quirks, and what makes you tick. No cookie-cutter stuff.
  • Nature comes first. I push for homes that spill into gardens, try to avoid AC with smart design, and love connecting indoors to outdoors.
  • I draw from local climate and traditions - you'll spot nods to things like nadumuttam (central courtyard) in my courtyard home designs.
  • Budget matters, so I balance the wow factor with real-world costs.

How I Work

  • We brainstorm, sketch, and even play around with physical models so you can actually “see” your future space.
  • My detailed blueprints plan for hiccups, ensuring quality through every stage.
  • I stick around from first chat to final brick, collaborating with engineers and site teams.

What I Design

  • Homes that breathe - luxury villas wrapped in green, tree-hugging city houses, bright duplexes.
  • Big community projects: temple complexes, university campuses, busy bus terminals.

My Signature Touches

  • Love for brick facade innovation - think jali screens and funky parametric walls.
  • Spaces flooded with natural light and air, using courtyards and skylights.
  • Building exteriors designed to keep you cool, private, and comfy.
  • Seamless indoor-outdoor living with terrace gardens, green roofs, huge windows.

If Vaastu compliant architecture is important to you, I’ll make sure it fits into the design without losing that modern vibe.

My Story

I’m from a family of clay sculptors, painters, performers – so making things with my hands is just how I’m wired. Grew up in Bangalore, back when it was all trees and gardens, not glass towers. Most folks who come to us want that old peace back, a slice of the garden city they remember. My job? Build homes that feel like nature’s hug, even in the middle of the city rush.

My Work

Architecture, Interiors, Master Planning - We design homes, spaces, and whole sites - not just rooms, but places to live and breathe.

Collaborative Design - No fixed plans. We chat, listen, and shape your space together, based on your memories and needs.

Nature-Connected Living Spaces - We blur indoor-outdoor lines, frame views, and bring greenery up close, inspired by garden city living.

Sustainable & Local Approach - We use eco-friendly stuff like laterite and granite, passive cooling, rainwater harvesting, and support local artisans.

Craftsmanship in Every Detail - From rangoli floors to brick facades, our work mixes modern design with hands-on Indian craft.
