Architectural Projects: Modern and Neo-Classical Designs
A selection of our completed work, showcasing the transition between traditional architectural elements and contemporary spatial planning across Delhi NCR.
This expansive drawing room in a neo-classical farmhouse was designed to be filled with natural light. The large glazed openings connect the interior to the vast green landscape, while muted wall mouldings and a statement chandelier add a sense of timeless luxury.
For this 75-year-old restaurant in Old Delhi, I created a double-height space that blends traditional aesthetics with modern functionality. The design features a prominent jharokha and exposed brick, paying homage to the area's heritage while revitalizing the brand's identity.
This modern luxury residence showcases a harmony of bold elegance and playful creativity. The living area is defined by a deep blue feature wall with brass inlays, paired with contemporary furniture and ample natural light to create a space that nurtures family life.
I designed this children's play area as a colorful haven, complete with a custom-built indoor playhouse and slide. The space brings together a vibrant yet soothing pastel palette, creating an imaginative environment for play and creativity.
This managing director's cabin was custom-designed to feel luxurious yet minimal. The space features a Michelangelo stone top desk, a book cabinet with a brown mirror back, and glass partitions framed in MS with veneer cladding for a sophisticated corporate interior.
In this residence, I focused on creating a tranquil atmosphere through a neutral color palette and neo-classical elements. The design ensures a seamless transition between spaces, generous natural light, and a careful arrangement of traditional furniture.
The den in this farmhouse project was designed to create a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. Expansive glazing and large openings flood the space with natural light, highlighting the rich wooden floors and classic leather furniture.
This master bedroom combines warmth and texture with wooden flooring and a raw brick side wall. To make the space feel cozier, I incorporated wooden batten panelling on the ceiling and ceiling-hung side lights for a modern, layered look.

About Featured
Our process begins by identifying the unique structural potential of a site, whether we are working on a heritage renovation in Old Delhi or a new farmhouse development. We prioritize the removal of unnecessary barriers to create fluid, open floor plans that allow natural light to penetrate deep into the interior, ensuring that every living or working area feels connected to its surroundings.
Our Design Methodology
We approach every project, from luxury residences to commercial fit-outs, as an architectural intervention. Our method involves a deep study of the client's brief combined with an analysis of the site's existing architecture. We focus on the juxtaposition of materials—using raw brick, stone, and traditional wood alongside modern glass and steel—to achieve a balance between legacy and contemporary utility.
Residential & Commercial Expertise
-
Neo-Classical Farmhouses: We design expansive country homes that utilize floor-to-ceiling glazing and muted wall mouldings to establish a sense of tranquility. Our approach ensures that the interior architecture harmonizes with the exterior landscape.
-
Contemporary Apartments: For city apartments, we implement space-planning strategies that maximize functionality. This often includes the use of custom joinery, intelligent storage solutions, and material palettes that introduce warmth and texture without crowding the space.
-
Commercial & Office Environments: We believe a commercial space should communicate brand identity. Our office designs focus on acoustic performance, ergonomic layouts for executive cabins, and high-quality material finishes that withstand heavy usage while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic.
The Value of Process
We provide end-to-end design services, meaning we are involved from the initial conceptual sketches and 3D visualizations to site supervision. This ensures that the technical drawings for ceiling works, MEP layouts, and joinery details are executed precisely as planned. Whether we are incorporating traditional jharokhas into a restaurant façade or installing hidden lighting in a master bedroom, our focus is always on the integrity of the built form.
