Featured Architectural & Interior Projects
A curated look at my most transformative projects—from earthy rooftop bars to minimalist retreats—where raw materials meet intentional design.
This is where the sky meets the earth. I designed this rooftop bar to capture the magic of a sunset, using natural textures and warm lighting to create a space that feels like a permanent golden hour.
A view of the completed Tipsy Town rooftop in Ayodhya. My goal was to create an organic, flowing space where sculptural lighting and lush greenery guide you through different zones, making the entire rooftop feel like an enchanted garden.
For the Sesh rooftop cafe in Delhi, I brought the laid back vibe of Goa to the city. The design is built around natural materials, with a ceiling of hanging straw and rattan furniture that invites you to relax and unwind.
This seating nook at Sugar State Bakery embodies my love for minimalist, Wabi-Sabi design. The curved, textured walls and simple, elegant furniture create a pocket of calm for customers to enjoy their treats.
A walkthrough of my own creative sanctuary, the Aavyaktaya Architects studio. I designed it to be a cave of creation, with sculpted walls and organic forms that inspire my team and me daily.
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a client fall in love with a space I've created. Here is a conversation with a fashion influencer who found my studio to be a unique and inspiring backdrop for her shoot.
My process is hands on. This is a glimpse into the physical work of creating custom mud textures for our studio walls, mixing materials to get the perfect consistency and feel.
About this collection
I don't believe in 'filler' spaces. Every project here—whether it's a high-energy rooftop or a quiet studio—was built by getting my hands dirty with raw materials like lime wash, bamboo, and stone. The result is always a balance of atmosphere and structure, designed to make people linger longer. If you have a site in mind, I can help you figure out how to stretch your budget across lighting and texture to create that same 'sukh and sukoon' without overspending on unnecessary frills.
My Design Philosophy
Architecture is more than just structure. It is the feeling you get when you step inside a room. I approach every project with a mix of 'kulbulahat' (creative restlessness) and technical precision. My goal is to strip away the noise and focus on what truly makes a space function—the flow, the lighting, and the tactile quality of the surfaces.
How We Work
I operate as a turnkey partner. This means you do not need to coordinate with separate contractors for civil work, furniture, and finishing. My team and I handle everything from the initial sketch to the final site installation.
- Materiality: I favor honest materials. You will often see me using bamboo, rattan, lime wash, and stone. I prefer finishes that age gracefully.
- Process: My studio is my laboratory. We experiment with mud textures and custom lighting fixtures right here before bringing them to your site.
- Commercial & Hospitality Expertise: I specialize in high-traffic environments that need to handle wear and tear while still looking beautiful. Whether it is a rooftop cafe in Delhi or a boutique hotel, I ensure the layout is practical for staff and inviting for customers.
Why Partner With Me?
If you are looking for generic, cookie-cutter designs, I am probably not the right fit. However, if you want a space that feels like it has a story, a space that utilizes natural forms and biophilic elements to create a calm escape from the city, let’s talk. I enjoy working with clients who want to be involved in the creative journey, and I take pride in building relationships that last long after the project is handed over.
Aavyaktaya Architects
I’m Akshay. I don’t just design on a computer; I’m the one mixing the mud and carving the wood on-site. My goal is always the same: to create spaces that bring a little more peace to the daily grind.
