We treat the construction site as an extension of our design studio. Explore the technical rigor and material experiments that translate our conceptual drawings into tangible, site-specific architecture.

This video demonstrates our passion for brick, showing how we use techniques like corbelling and rat trap bonds to create expressive, textured facades in projects ranging from schools to crematoriums.

From inspiration to interpretation. This video shows how the ancient stepwells of Jaipur inspired a contemporary feature wall in a hotel, translating a historical concept into a modern architectural detail.

The feature wall at our Green Bean project in Jaipur during construction. This image reveals the intricate process of laying bricks to create a stepped, diamond-like pattern inspired by Rajasthani stepwells.

The architectural elevation drawing for the Green Bean feature wall. This technical drawing guided the masons in executing the complex, stepped brick pattern.

A detailed section drawing showing the starting point for the brick feature wall, illustrating how the first layer of bricks is set upon the stone skirting and RCC slab.

A comparison of a 3D render and an on-site construction photo for our Sitarganj Residence. This shows how we translate our digital models into physical structures, ensuring the design intent is carried through.

The bare structure of the Sitarganj Residence in Uttarakhand. This stage reveals the home's fundamental form, including the exposed steel roof trusses that will become a key architectural feature.

A detailed drawing of the roof gutter system for the Sitarganj Residence. Careful attention to such technical details is crucial for ensuring the building's longevity and performance, especially in regions with heavy rainfall.

A graphic overlay comparing the initial render with the under-construction photo of the Lakewood Residence, illustrating the material palette of textured paint and thermopine cladding.

This graphic breaks down the materials used on the Lakewood Residence facade, including textured paint, thermopine wood cladding, and the metal C-channels used for mounting.

About The Anagram Method: From Sketch to Structure

We treat the construction site as an extension of our studio. When you see our brick facades, they are the result of intensive on-site experimentation with rat-trap bonds and corbelled techniques, effectively bridging the gap between a 3D model and a structural reality. This process ensures that complex geometries, such as the curved roof gutters at our Sitarganj Residence or the pivoted stone cladding at our Lakewood project, are executed with the precision intended in our drawings.
