Forward-thinking design that respects the land and stands the test of time. We focus on eco-friendly concepts and unique layouts that blend seamlessly into your surroundings.

This C-shaped farmhouse is a prime example of innovative design. Its unconventional form is not just for aesthetics; it creates a sheltered central courtyard and maximizes views of the surrounding nature from every room.

The floor plan for this farmhouse shows the innovative layout, with rooms flowing along a curve. The design includes sustainable features like solar panels, visible in the aerial shot, to reduce the home's environmental footprint.

The elevation drawings paired with the aerial view reveal the thoughtful engineering behind this innovative structure, designed to be both beautiful and functional.

About Innovative & Sustainable Architecture

When we designed this farmhouse in Nelamangala eighteen years ago, we chose a C-shaped floor plan instead of a traditional block. This layout creates a sheltered central courtyard and ensures that every room enjoys natural cross-ventilation and views of the surrounding greenery, showing how forward-thinking geometry can improve how a home functions decades later.

This home in Basavanagudi, Bangalore, is a testament to our belief in complex, layered design that feels organic and rooted. We integrated exposed earth blocks, traditional bay windows, and multiple balconies, even allowing a palm tree to grow through the structure, truly merging the building with its landscape.8
A quiet corner for reflection. This space combines a traditional indoor swing with a modern filler slab ceiling made of clay pots, reducing concrete usage while creating a unique visual texture. The large circular window frames the world outside, making nature a part of the home's interior life.
The spiritual heart of the home, this central courtyard features a Tulasi Katte, bathed in sunlight from a skylight. An antique wooden pillar stands as a silent witness, grounding the space in tradition and craftsmanship, creating a serene connection between the sacred and the everyday.
We use architecture to paint with light. Here, a patterned jaali skylight casts intricate shadows on an exposed brick wall, a dynamic display that changes with the sun's journey across the sky. This is how we create spaces that feel active and ever-changing, without using any energy.

This residence in Defence Colony, Delhi, features manually sliding perforated metal 'jaalis'. These screens provide protection from the harsh sun while allowing diffused light to enter, acting as a modern interpretation of a traditional shading device.
My work on the Defence Colony residence was featured in the Dainik Jagran newspaper. The article discusses how the design uses 'naya vastu' principles to create a building that responds to the modern need for climate-responsive architecture.
