Jalakara: A Handcrafted Hotel in the Andamans

I designed and built this boutique hotel on Havelock Island, blending vernacular Indian architecture with tropical luxury. Each of the seven villas offers a unique experience, showcasing the skills of craftsmen from across India and materials sourced to respect the local context.

Private Residences & Villas

I create homes that are sanctuaries, deeply connected to their natural surroundings. My full Design + Build service ensures a seamless journey from concept to a home that features breezy verandas, courtyards, and spaces that blur the line between inside and out.

Prefab Earthen Cottages

I am developing prefabricated sustainable homes to offer a quicker build time without sacrificing the handcrafted quality. This wattle-and-daub studio in Moira, Goa, was built in just 12 months and serves as a prototype for eco-friendly, modular living spaces.

Community & Public Architecture

My work extends to public and community-focused projects that serve a larger purpose. These include a science center built with on-site earth and a volunteer house in the Nilgiris, both designed to be ecological, economical, and deeply rooted in their local context.

The Design & Build Process

I offer a complete Design + Build service, which ensures a smooth and cohesive journey from the first sketch to the final handover. This cluster shows how my ideas evolve from drawings and renders to hands-on construction on site, all guided by a single, clear vision.

Our Team, Studios & Philosophy

My work is never a solo effort; it is a collaboration between my dedicated team, skilled artisans from all over India, and our visionary clients. Our studios in Magadi and Goa are where these ideas are born, and our studio farm is where we practice the conscious, sustainable living that inspires our architecture.
