## About Bespoke Interior Architecture & Design

### Honest Spaces, Not Just Pretty Rooms

What I do at Archiopteryx isn't about quick fixes or trendy colours. I shape interiors for real, harmonious living - where every creature, every plant, even the smallest insect, has a place. My approach? No shortcuts. I push for actual sustainability, so you'll see upcycled, local materials and design choices that truly last.

### Beyond Surface-Level Design

If you're thinking of picking cushions, this isn’t that. I dive deep into the bones of a space - changing layouts, knocking down and building walls, sometimes even adding new floors. It’s adaptive reuse interiors, not just decoration. Every project starts with hand-drawn sketches and grows into a unique, luxe yet responsible space.

### Space as Sculpture

For me, walls, stairs, and ceilings aren’t just background. They're the art. Expect things like:
- Artistic staircases design: Concrete cantilever steps, folded metal forms
- Walls that curve, hold memories, or make space for a quiet nook
- Ceilings with brick vaults or earthen pots, sometimes home to birds
- Skylights cut at angles, letting sunlight and shadows play
- Water bodies fed by rain, designed for aquatic life and birds

### Material Choices That Matter

I hunt for materials that tell a story - repurposed wood from old homes, local stone, exposed brick, raw concrete, metal, and upcycled bits like broken China. This is a sustainable material palette, not just a style.

### Furniture That Belongs

Every fixture, every shelf, bathtub, or door is integrated architectural furniture. Nothing is an afterthought. Even a simple handrail might channel rainwater or frame a view. If you want spaces that don’t look like anyone else's, this is what I do.

### My story

I’m a Delhite through and through, vegan, pet dad, and always rooting for the planet. Architecture for me? It starts with messy sketches, inspired by my travels—Rajasthan’s vibe, stone walls, all that. I want homes to be more than just for humans. Birds, bugs, plants—sabko jagah chahiye (everyone deserves a space). With Archiopteryx, I’m chasing that dream of truly harmonious living, where every being finds a corner.

### My work

- **Bespoke Architecture & Interiors**: I design new homes, apartments, and renovations, focusing on unique spaces for harmonious living.
- **Ethno-modern Aesthetic**: My style blends clean, modern looks with vernacular stone walls and local techniques—nothing cookie-cutter.
- **Sustainability at the Core**: Repurposing materials like upcycled ancestral wood, using local resources, and designing energy-efficient, Vaastu-compliant spaces.
- **Designing for All Beings**: I study local flora and fauna to create animal-friendly architecture—houses that welcome birds, insects, and plants.
- **Art-centric Design**: Each project is an iterative process, with sculptural staircase design and artistic touches throughout.
