About Additional Residential Projects

In projects like the NallaNela farmhouse, we utilized exposed brick jali walls to facilitate natural cross-ventilation. This method allows airflow throughout the living areas while maintaining necessary privacy, reducing the reliance on artificial cooling. We apply this site-specific logic to all our residential work, ensuring each home responds intelligently to its local climate and surroundings.
