See what happens when you combine technical training with real-world application. From student-led 3D visualizations to professional rendered designs, here is a glimpse of the work created in my workshops.

This is what we call a 'Totti Mane' or a traditional courtyard house, reimagined with modern design principles. I created this entire visualization using SketchUp for the 3D model and Lumion for the realistic lighting, textures, and atmosphere. This is the level of detail and beauty you can learn to create.

It's an honor to receive feedback like this from Mr. Manjunath V.R., the Principal of BGS Polytechnic. In this video, he talks about the structured AutoCAD program I conducted for his students, my teaching style, and the practical field visits that we did.

Watch a simple 2D elevation drawing transform into a fully rendered, realistic 3D building visualization. This is the power of combining SketchUp for modeling and Lumion for rendering, a key part of my advanced workshops where you learn to create impressive architectural walkthroughs.

Learning design software is not just about sitting in front of a computer. Here, I'm with my students on-site, teaching them practical site marking. This hands-on experience helps connect the digital drawings we create in AutoCAD to the real world of construction.

This is a 3D floor plan for a 50' x 80' residential apartment in Yelahanka. Creating clear, detailed, and visually appealing floor plans like this is a fundamental skill for any architect or interior designer, and it's a core part of what I teach in my AutoCAD and Revit courses.

Confused about which design software to learn for your career? In this video, I give a quick introduction to help you decide. Neevu design software kalibeku antha ideera? (Are you looking to learn design software?) If so, I can guide you on which tools are best for the industry.

This image shows the difference between a basic model and a final render. On the left is a 'Flowing Staircase' designed in Revit, and on the right is the same model brought to life with realistic lighting and materials in Lumion. My courses cover this entire workflow.

About Featured

What you see here is the result of applying industry-standard workflows like AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Lumion to actual architectural challenges. Every project, from the detailed floor plans to the realistic courtyard visualizations, was built using the same techniques we cover in my 30-day masterclasses and intensive bootcamps. You will learn to bridge the gap between a 2D line drawing and a fully rendered, photorealistic space.

Look at these smiles. This is what a typical weekend at the workshop looks like. People from all walks of life, most with zero prior experience, holding something they built with their own hands. We made everything from clocks to small tables this day.
Yes, you can even build a five-level cat tree for your furry overlord. This project was built over two days using turned Salwood pillars and Birch plywood. It’s a perfect example of how you can use the skills you learn here to create truly custom furniture.
