Butterflies Resilience Centre: A Home with Heart

This project for street children in Delhi is very close to my heart. We used earth from the site, old doors from a haveli, and playful design to create a space for exploration and *khushali* (well-being). The building itself is a teacher, demonstrating a sustainable and joyful way of living.

IIHMR University, Jaipur: Learning with Nature

For this university campus, we used local stone and passive cooling techniques to create a comfortable learning environment that respects Jaipur's climate. The design encourages connection, with linked courtyards and spaces that blend into the natural landscape.

LEED Platinum Office, Noida: The Breathing Workplace

This office building achieved a LEED Platinum rating, the highest green building certification. We designed a central courtyard with a water body that acts as a natural heat sink, creating a comfortable microclimate without heavy air conditioning.

The Craft of Sustainable Building

I believe in using materials that are local, recycled, and honest. This section shows how we turn excavated earth into walls, reuse old materials to give them new life, and innovate with techniques like Bubble Deck slabs to reduce concrete.

Future Visions & Design Concepts

Architecture is also about imagining what is possible. Here are some of our ongoing projects and competition entries, from a modern interpretation centre in Hyderabad to a quiet space for meditation in Jaipur.

Conversations on Architecture

For me, architecture is a continuous dialogue about creating better, more responsible spaces. Here I share some of my thoughts through articles, interviews, and talks on sustainable design.
