A Dialogue with Nature: DUA Villa, Alibaug

This project is a labyrinth of leisure, designed to be as much about looking inward as it is about looking out into the landscape. We used deep verandahs, thick walls of sand-face and lime plaster, and a rhythm of arched openings to create a tranquil home that is deeply connected to the earth and seasons.

Urban Sanctuaries: The Worli Duplex

In this sea-facing duplex apartment in Mumbai, we created a serene sanctuary defined by a sophisticated material palette and sculptural forms. The design balances the distinct personalities of its residents with a cohesive aesthetic of quiet luxury, using warm woods, natural stone, and bespoke details to craft a tranquil retreat from the city.

International Perspectives: The Corner House

Located in Rotterdam, this duplex apartment renovation shows our international reach and ability to work within different cultural contexts. We used a neutral color palette, natural materials, and curated European design pieces to transform this 1906 apartment into a contemporary home that respects its historic character.

The Poetry of Detail

We believe that architecture is experienced through its details, the points where the hand meets the material. This collection showcases our focus on bespoke hardware, intricate joinery, and the honest expression of materials like wood, marble, and brass, which we believe are the soul of a project.

Sculpting with Light

We consider light, both natural and artificial, to be a primary building material. This collection explores how we use skylights, expansive windows, and sculptural fixtures to shape spaces, create atmosphere, and orchestrate a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that evolves throughout the day.
