Sculptural Concrete and Fluid Architectural Forms

For me, concrete is not just a building material; it is a medium for art. I push its limits to create fluid, monolithic structures that breathe, flow, and respond to the landscape.

This family home in Haryana is a modern monolith, defined by its striking curves and raw concrete finish. The design is both commodious and cavernous, with the facade coming to life as a massive, sculptural form that commands attention.

The house in Haryana is an example of liquid architecture. The entire structure is defined by seamlessly flowing folds of concrete, creating a dynamic volume that appears to be in motion.

This facade is a composition of cuboid and curvilinear volumes. The juxtaposition of sharp geometric shapes with soft, organic curves creates a visually engaging structure, while open balconies connect the interior to the outdoors.

This video shows my personal involvement during the construction of the Curvilinear House. Regular site visits are crucial to ensure every detail aligns with the vision, allowing me to refine and elevate the project from a good design to an exceptional one.

Inspired by the movement of water, this residence features a waveform facade. This video shows the intricate process of installing the curved metal fins that give the building its mesmerizing, tranquil appearance, like waves meeting the shore.

About Sculptural Concrete & Fluid Forms

Working with exposed concrete in fluid forms is demanding; it is not just about the design, but the precise craftsmanship behind the formwork. I personally oversee the steel binding and casting phases on-site because that is where the structure truly comes alive. If you are planning a space with these curvilinear shapes, we must coordinate the electrical conduits and plumbing within the concrete slabs right from the start, before the first pour.

I see every site as a canvas and concrete as my paint. Whether it is a home in Haryana or a bespoke retreat, I do not just build walls; I create spaces where you can feel the energy of the five elements flowing around you.

An overall view of the House Around the Oblique Column, showcasing its monumental scale and the dramatic cantilevered roof. The structure is a composition of bold, intersecting geometric planes.40
This view frames the interior living space from the outside, revealing the home's dual function as a gallery. The architecture creates a proscenium arch, blurring the lines between inside and out.
The defining feature of the house, the oblique column, is captured here in a play of light and shadow. Its tilt creates a dynamic tension, anchoring the entire architectural composition.
The entrance is marked by a circular void in the concrete roof, through which a tree grows. This gesture creates a powerful dialogue between the man-made structure and the natural world.

For Stone Print Villa, we revived the use of Jaisalmer yellow sandstone by developing a blending process with lentil paste and jaggery sap. This strengthened the porous stone, allowing for the fine chiselling and precision cuts seen in these on-site application photos.28
This diagram illustrates our stone blending process. By treating the stone dust with natural binders and a resin coat, we created a workable material that retained its original character but was durable enough for intricate facade work.
The corner of Stone Print Villa is wrapped in modular panels cast from a stone-resin composite and cut by CNC. The same unit scales across the facade, flipping at junctions to create a continuous, rhythmic pattern that articulates the building's form.
The entrance of Stone Print Villa showcases the result of our material experimentation. The facade is clad in two types of Indian stone and our custom stone-resin prototype, creating a rich tapestry of textures, patterns, and ornamentation.
