These features typically dive into how we handle technical challenges—like passive cooling, rainwater harvesting, or the use of local laterite and granite—rather than just the aesthetics. It proves that a home can be a quiet, breathing space even within the density of a modern city. ### Building Conversations Every feature you see here represents a dialogue between our studio and the broader architectural community. When publications like IW Magazine or Surfaces Reporter spotlight our work, they are usually interested in the "how"—the raw construction details, the specific craftsmanship behind our brick jalis, and the complex engineering required to bring vertical greenery into a private home. ### Design Ethos The focus remains consistent: creating spaces that enhance life. For instance, the recognition of "House Belaku" for its craftsmanship and "House of Greens" for its biophilic approach reinforces our belief that urban architecture must bridge the gap between built structures and the natural world. ### What these features reveal about our approach: * **Technical Depth:** We go beyond surface-level design. These articles outline how we achieve passive cooling, double-height volumes, and large-span glazing using high-performance systems. * **Material Honesty:** We favor natural, aging materials like FSC-certified teak, wire-cut bricks, and Kota stone. Features often highlight these choices for their durability and emotional warmth. * **The Process:** It is not just about the final image. Our design process—based on conversation, sketching, and questioning—is what ensures each home is a personalized response to the site and the user. These features serve as an archive of our learning. Each project pushes us to refine our approach to the unique climate and heritage of Bangalore, ensuring that the homes we build today remain relevant for decades. ## About Chandrakant S. Kanthigavi I am Chandrakant. My work is a constant conversation with the city I grew up in, using design to bring back the peace of old Bangalore. I believe in architecture that breathes, where every brick and window serves a purpose beyond aesthetics. [See all of Chandrakant S.
