Our Featured Architectural Works

Our award-winning Wildgrass house in the Nilgiris, which received the Tostem Asia Design Award. The design cantilevers over the landscape, minimizing its footprint and preserving the natural terrain. It is a dialogue between the built form and the wildness of its surroundings.

The interior of the 'House of Stories' in Bengaluru, a space designed for an author. We used raw, board-formed concrete not as a backdrop, but as a primary material, sculpting it to catch and hold light in ways that create moments of quiet and deep nuance.

The Biergarten in Bellandur, a microbrewery designed to embrace the city. We created a raised urban courtyard with open balconies, allowing patrons to watch the city's flow. It's a space for community and celebration, woven directly into the urban fabric.

A detail of the perforated, folded metal skin we designed for the ICP Brunton Central building. This custom facade is a key element of our adaptive reuse strategy, filtering daylight to create comfortable inner spaces while giving the old structure a new, light, and sustainable identity.

The play of light and shadow on a wall of hand-chiseled stone from a work in progress. For us, the marks of the craftsman's tools and the inherent texture of the material are not imperfections to be hidden, but the very soul of the building.

The process begins with a thought, a sketch. This clip from our film for Zanav Home shows our initial drawings, where we explore the balance between light, form, and need. Good buildings come from this slow, persistent exploration of ideas.

Here I discuss the design philosophy behind the functional and beautiful elements of a project. We believe the 'why' is as important as the 'what', and explaining our choices, like using perforated sheets for light, is part of our process.

The 'House of Stories' seen from its garden, seven years after completion. We design buildings to grow with their inhabitants and settle into their landscapes. The relationship between the concrete forms, the greenery, and the sky is a story that unfolds over time.

A portrait of us, Nisha Mathew and Soumitro Ghosh. Our practice is a continuous conversation, a shared journey of questioning architecture's boundaries and placing human experience at its core.
