This is the heart of my "House of Greens" project, a space designed to feel like an open pavilion. The double-height volume, exposed concrete ceiling, and full-length doors dissolve the barrier between the home and the garden, embodying my philosophy of connecting life with nature.
For the Shiva Temple Complex, I aimed to create a modern spiritual journey rooted in tradition. This view from the entry pavilion frames the main temple at dusk, using contemporary design to evoke a sense of timeless reverence and tranquility.
In my "House Belaku" project, I used a brick *jali* screen to transform sunlight into a dynamic design element. This image captures how the perforated brickwork casts a beautiful, shifting mosaic of light and shadow, creating a serene atmosphere while ensuring privacy.
My goal is to create homes that are shrouded in green, not just surrounded by it. This exterior view of the "House of Greens" shows how we integrate planters and cascading greenery into the structure itself, making the landscape a living part of the architecture.
I believe in the power of craftsmanship. This oversized main door, made from FSC certified teak wood with a custom brass sun-themed handle, serves as a grand, artistic statement, setting a tone of bespoke quality from the very first touch.
I am deeply honored to receive awards for my work, as they recognize the dedication of my entire team and the trust of my clients. Here, my colleague and I are accepting the Construction World Architect and Builder (CWAB) Award for "House of Greens."
My design process begins long before construction. This physical model for the "Heal n Heaven" project allowed us to study the interplay of volumes, light, and function, ensuring the final building, which combines a clinic and a home, is both practical and soulful.
A bedroom should be a private sanctuary connected to the outdoors. In this master bedroom, we used a nature-inspired mural and large windows that open onto a private terrace, blurring the line between the room and the lush landscape outside.
My commitment to sustainability extends to public art. This installation, "Plastreen," uses discarded plastic bottles to form an outer shell, with a living green wall inside, creating a powerful statement about our relationship with nature and waste.

About Interior Architecture & Design

Why I Design Spaces, Not Just Rooms

I’m here to make homes in Namma Bengaluru (Our Bengaluru) feel personal, earthy and open. My approach to interior architecture is about more than arranging furniture - it’s about creating a vibe that connects your life, personality, and the city itself.

How I Work

  • I love bringing nature inside. You’ll notice open pavilions with big doors that vanish, terrace gardens, and vertical greenery. Living spaces feel like they spill into the outdoors - perfect if you crave indoor-outdoor living spaces.
  • I use natural materials for interiors like exposed brick (jali screens), FSC certified teak wood, and laterite stone. These don’t just look honest and warm - they age beautifully and keep things real.
  • Light and breeze matter. Double-height rooms, skylights, and passive cooling techniques make spaces airy and comfortable, so you’re less dependent on AC.
  • My designs have a strong Indian soul. I adapt classic ideas like Nadumuttam (central courtyard) for modern life and weave in Vaastu Shastra if you want it.

The Process

We’ll talk, sketch, and question everything together. I don’t walk in with fixed ideas - your space evolves from our conversations, whether you want a home filled with sunlight or a lush, green sanctuary.

Building Responsibly

Sustainable home design comes naturally to me. I use eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient layouts, and things like rainwater harvesting so your home feels good - and does good.

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.
