Featured Architectural Projects and Interior Designs
A selection of our residential architecture and farmhouse projects across Bangalore and Karnataka. We combine modern design with natural materials to create spaces that breathe.
This courtyard at Villa Maati captures our design philosophy. We used natural materials like brick and Mangalore tiles to create a seamless flow between the indoor living spaces, the staircase, and the outdoor pool area, embracing true indoor-outdoor living.
For the Polibetta Farmhouse, we designed an infinity pool that overlooks the coffee estate. This space is designed for relaxation and connection with nature, featuring a stepped sunken seating area and a deck that extends from the main living space.
Our project, 'A House Reborn', was a sensitive renovation of a 60-year-old structure. We preserved the home's original footprint while adding modern, light-filled spaces that open up to the lush, mature trees on the property.
A series of grand arched doorways at the Ferns Cottage blurs the line between the living room and the garden. This design element allows natural light to flood the interiors and provides tranquil views of the courtyard from within.
In this film, we walk you through 'A House Reborn', explaining our sustainable approach. We repurposed materials from the original 60-year-old structure, including wood and flooring, and commissioned a local artist for a nature-inspired mural.
The double-height living space at Villa Maati showcases our use of volume and texture. The exposed brick walls and tiled roof are complemented by large woven pendant lights, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels both grand and intimate.
The living and dining area of the Polibetta Farmhouse features a repurposed wooden false ceiling, adding warmth and history to the space. We combine minimalist cement finishes with classic furniture to create a balanced, pared-back aesthetic.
About this collection
Every project begins with the site's own story. Whether we are reimagining a 60-year-old urban bungalow or carving a retreat into a coffee plantation, our focus remains on using honest materials—exposed brick, Kota stone, and Mangalore tiles—to build homes that are naturally cool, light-filled, and deeply connected to their landscape.
Our work often centers on a conversation between the built environment and the natural landscape. In projects like Villa Maati and the Pollibetta Farmhouse in Coorg, this means creating open, fluid layouts that allow light and breeze to circulate freely. We prioritize structural honesty, meaning we do not hide the materials—brick remains exposed, and stone textures are kept natural.
For our renovation work, such as 'A House Reborn' in Whitefield, we take a different approach. Instead of stripping away history, we analyze the existing structure to understand what can be preserved. By upcycling old wood, tiles, and foundations, we retain the soul of the original home while adapting it for contemporary living. This sustainability-first mindset extends to our design process, where we emphasize natural cooling, passive ventilation, and the protection of existing site features like mature trees and boulders.
Whether you are planning a weekend farmhouse, a comprehensive interior renovation, or a new construction, our process is systematic. We handle the entire scope, from initial site context analysis and municipal drawings to structural coordination and on-site material sourcing. Our design fees cover complete architectural and interior planning, with a specific focus on getting the technical details—such as masonry bonds for exposed walls and custom metal fabrication—right the first time.
