A selection of our work bridging the gap between urban living and natural ecosystems through climate-responsive design.

This is the heart of The Courtyard Glasshouse project, where the dining area merges with an indoor garden. I designed this space with double-height glass walls to dissolve the boundary between inside and out, creating a home that breathes and is filled with natural light.

The Ridgeway Escape in Coorg is a home designed to belong to the mountains. I used a mix of modern lines, local stone, and large glass panels to frame the stunning landscape, creating a structure that feels both contemporary and completely at one with its natural setting.

For the ALTURA residence, I designed this sunken living area to create an intimate, cozy space within a large, open-plan layout. The design brings people together, surrounded by subtle greenery and soft, ambient lighting for a feeling of modern luxury.

This is a render of The Meeting Pods, an innovative concept for an outdoor office space. I used a living green wall as a jali screen to provide natural cooling and a connection to nature, reimagining the modern workplace as a healthier, more inspiring environment.

In The Courtyard Glasshouse, even the staircase is an opportunity to integrate nature. This floating staircase wraps around a light-filled atrium with an indoor garden, making the simple act of moving through the home a beautiful experience.

This cross-section of the Dhamma Hall at the Vipassana Meditation Center shows my technical approach to sustainability. The roof is designed to create natural airflow, passively cooling the large hall with minimal need for fans, ensuring comfort through smart, climate-responsive design.

This render showcases The Crown Jewel of Detroit, a visionary concept for a waterfront development. The design features flowing towers and integrated green spaces, demonstrating my capability in large-scale urban planning and ambitious architectural expression.

Every project begins with a simple sketch. This hand-drawn detail explores how to use vaulted roofs and natural materials to shape light and space, capturing the initial spark of an idea that will grow into a fully realized building.

About Featured

The Courtyard Glasshouse project displayed here is a practical study in thermal performance. We designed the double-height volumes and self-shading courtyards specifically to facilitate cross-ventilation, which naturally cools the interior without relying on heavy air conditioning. This observation of local wind patterns and sun paths dictates our approach to every project in the studio, ensuring your home remains comfortable regardless of the season.

We are a team that sketches, gets messy on site, and obsesses over the flow of a street. When we design, we are thinking about how the sun hits your living room and how the wind moves through your courtyard. We love turning a rough doodle into a home that truly breathes.

This is the 'House of Greens', a project that truly embodies my design philosophy. It was an honor to see it recognized as a finalist at the World Architecture Festival, a testament to our goal of creating homes that are one with nature.10
The heart of the 'House of Greens' is this double-height living space. By using large windows and an open layout, we dissolved the barrier between indoors and outdoors, creating a pavilion that is constantly in dialogue with the garden.
The 'House Belaku' is a celebration of light and material. The brick jali screen is not just a design element; it's a functional skin that filters sunlight, ensures privacy, and creates a dynamic play of light and shadow throughout the day.

This is the Vidyut Kapoor Residence in Bangalore, a prime example of our modern architectural style using exposed brick. The design emphasizes clean geometric lines and the interplay of solid and void, creating a dynamic facade that interacts with natural light throughout the day.8
The interior of the Vidyut Kapoor Residence reveals a double-height living space, a signature element in our designs. This feature, combined with expansive glass doors and exposed brick walls, creates an airy, light-filled home that seamlessly connects to the surrounding green space.
We also undertake large-scale projects like this estate house in Thrissur for Mr. Alex. The design balances a grand scale with traditional architectural forms, including sloping tiled roofs and deep verandas, creating a stately yet welcoming family home.
An internal courtyard in the Nivriti residence in Jakkur, Bangalore, serves as a private green oasis. We often incorporate such courtyards to improve natural light and ventilation, fostering a tranquil connection with nature within the home's footprint.

For this community swimming pool, the goal was to create a private, serene retreat within an urban setting. I used layered planting and shifts in level to build natural visual and acoustic barriers. The result is a minimal, sleek design where clean lines and curated textures create a peaceful escape.
This terrace is all about balanced design. The metal slat pergola creates a beautiful play of light and shadow, providing just enough shade without closing off the sky. A backdrop of vibrant shrubs and a multi-purpose ledge for a pantry or bar make this a highly functional and inviting outdoor living space.
This is a concept for a dynamic urban plaza. The design features sculptural seating pods inspired by lotus petals, crafted from lightweight aluminum and durable FRP. My aim here was to transform a public area into an interactive canvas, where functional elements become art and invite community engagement.

This view captures the heart of a multi-level home I designed, where life unfolds across interconnected spaces. The open staircase, warm wooden flooring, and a unique terracotta disc ceiling are all tied together by an abundance of natural light and indoor greenery, creating a home that feels both expansive and intimate.7
Here is the exterior of the same residence, showcasing how the interior's complexity is expressed on the facade. A mix of stone, wood, and glass is softened by cascading greenery, allowing the building to settle into its natural surroundings rather than impose on them.
I believe gardens shouldn't just surround a house, they should live within it. This staircase has a thriving garden at its core, a green space that brings life and fresh air right into the center of the home, transforming a simple flight of stairs into a living feature.
Buildings do talk, and this one speaks of light and form. I designed this space with undulating floors and walls pierced by slits of light, creating a conversation between the structure and the sun. The built-in seating flows organically from the architecture itself.
