Homes for Life: My Guiding Principles

A home is more than a building; it's a place for memories and well-being. My architectural philosophy is inspired by my own childhood and a deep commitment to creating spaces that are not just functional, but also full of life and joy for the people inside.

Courtyards: Homes that Breathe

I believe in courtyard-centric homes, a timeless concept from Indian architecture. These open-to-sky spaces act as the lungs of the house, ensuring natural light and cross-ventilation reach every corner, which promotes well-being and significantly lowers energy bills.

Building with Nature: Materials & Methods

My approach to construction focuses on using local, recycled, and low-energy materials. We make bricks from the earth on-site, repurpose old doors and windows, and innovate with passive cooling techniques like jaali screens to create truly sustainable buildings.

Sustainable Living for All

I believe that comfortable, sustainable living should not be a luxury. We apply our principles of passive design, natural ventilation, and efficient space planning to larger-scale affordable housing projects, creating healthy and relaxed environments for entire communities.

Sharing the Knowledge: Research & Publications

As an educator, I am passionate about making sustainable design accessible to everyone. I have had the privilege of developing handbooks, design catalogues, and participating in public discussions to share practical knowledge on building low-energy, climate-responsive homes.
