I believe staircases should be sculptural centerpieces. In this apartment for filmmakers, cantilevered concrete steps emerge from a random rubble stone wall, creating a dramatic ascent towards a skylight that bathes the space in natural light.

Functional spaces like kitchens can also be works of art. Here, exposed load-bearing brick vaults form the ceiling, contrasting with modern cabinetry and a custom breakfast table, proving that structural honesty and daily life can coexist beautifully.

This view captures the essence of biophilic design. An indoor pond, filled with indigenous plants, sits below a ceiling dotted with inverted earthen pots, designed to encourage birds to nest and feel at home within the architecture.

The Brick Vault House showcases my work in adaptive reuse. A feature spiral staircase ascends through a multi-height volume, crowned by a massive, exposed brick vault that defines the character of the entire residence.

Light is a building material. This sculpted, non-rectilinear skylight is designed to do more than just illuminate; it channels sunlight, creating dynamic patterns of light and shadow that change throughout the day, turning the space into a living sundial.

I use color and material to create immersive experiences. This bathroom is a celebration of craftsmanship, featuring a handcrafted bathtub made from red-stained cement, handmade ceramic tiles, and locally sourced Indian sandstone.

This entryway demonstrates how functional elements can be seamlessly integrated into the architecture. The built-in wooden cabinetry and seating flow into a large window, framing the view of the stone courtyard and blurring the line between inside and out.
