About Architectural Design
Where Our Designs Begin
Every project starts with a conversation, not a sketch. I listen to your ideas, talk to the land, think about the old trees, the climate, even the local stories. It's a dialogue, not just between people, but between the building and everything around it. That’s how I know the space will feel right, not just look good.
What Shapes My Work
- Local context matters - a home in Chennai shouldn't have the same vibe as something up in Nandi Hills. I pick up cues from the heritage, weather, culture and let them shape the design.
- Nature is always part of the plan. Think courtyards, terrace gardens, a balcony hugging an old neem. If there’s a tree, I try not to cut it - sometimes the whole building bends for it.
- Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for me. I design for cross-ventilation, sunlight, and spaces that don’t always need AC. Low carbon footprint is the goal.
- I love blending old Indian ideas like jali screens with modern forms. It’s not just about nostalgia - it’s about comfort and beauty.
What I’ve Built
From homes to offices to public spaces, I work across the board. I’ve designed award-winning green communities in Bangalore, nature-integrated weekend homes near the hills, and commercial spaces like the URBAN LADDER office in Hyderabad with terraced balconies. My team and I also work on public projects, like the Nirbhaya Centre for women and kids in Bangalore, and guesthouses in Tirupati that feel peaceful and spiritual.
Why I Do This
There’s a sarsarahat (that quiet buzz) when a building just fits - with its place, its people, and even the birds around it. That’s what keeps me going.

My Story
We’re Architecture Dialogue. Our name says it all – we believe design is a real back-and-forth, not a one-way street. Our roots spread across Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and our team’s got all kinds of skills. You’ll catch us celebrating Diwali together, painting walls (AD’s Got Latent), and just vibing as we work. Those little sarsarahat (buzz) moments? It’s the team spirit, not just the awards. We build together, argue, laugh, and grow. That’s us.
My Work
Our Services - We do architectural design, master planning, urban design, interiors, plus adaptive reuse architecture and conservation projects.
Design Through Dialogue - We listen, chat, and design. Every project starts with a proper conversation, so the space fits you and the place.
Nature in Every Project - Saving old trees, using natural ventilation, we push for sustainable master planning wherever we can.
Spaces That Feel Human - We make places, not just buildings – public spaces that welcome, homes that feel like you.
Solving Tricky Problems - Tight sites, old buildings, weird rules – we turn design problems into creative opportunities.
