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.
