When publications like Architecture + Design or Commercial Design highlight our work, it validates our core belief that nature acts as the operating system for meaningful interiors. These moments allow us to share our process, our obsession with brick jali screens and biophilic textures, and the stories behind our Mathrukrupa or Akshara Vinyasa projects with a wider audience of design enthusiasts. Our design philosophy has always been rooted in the dialogue between context and craft. When the industry takes notice, it usually centers on how we handle the friction between modern requirements and natural sustainability. ### The Mathrukrupa Residence Featured in The Architect's Diary, this project is a prime example of our minimalist earthy approach. The editors highlighted our use of wicker textures and the elemental stairwell, a centerpiece that connects the living and dining areas through light and shadow. The mural work here was not just decoration, it was a deliberate choice to integrate art into the architecture. ### Akshara Vinyasa This project, featured in Commercial Design, pushed our boundaries in creating biophilic workspaces. We did not just add plants, we built an environment where the architecture breathes. Using wire-cut brick jali screens and passive cooling techniques, we transformed a standard commercial layout into an immersive experience. ### Philosophy in Practice Whether it is being a finalist for the WADE Asia Young Architect of the Year 2025 or contributing to design journals, our goal remains the same: proving that luxury does not need to be loud. It thrives in the details, the grain of locally sourced granite, the warmth of teak wood, and the quiet rhythm of cross-ventilation. We invite you to explore these featured projects to understand how we translate sketches into reality. ## About AD Studio 9 We are Apoorva and Sandesh. We do not just design homes, we create environments that feel like a breath of fresh air. If you value spaces that tell a story and stay connected to nature, we would love to collaborate on your next project.
