Featured Architectural Projects and Sustainable Landscapes

At the 'Aamra' farmhouse, life unfolds around a mature mango tree, which serves as the heart of the home. The design prioritizes the existing landscape, creating a built form that respects and integrates with the natural environment, offering spaces for quiet contemplation and family life.

This is a view of the eco-sensitive landscape I designed at Kaggalipura, overlooking the Bannerghatta forest range. The design focuses on creating a rich habitat using native plant landscaping to attract local wildlife, turning the entire site into a sanctuary.

The concept of 'Jagli katte', a traditional sitting verandah, is central to the 'Aamra' project. Here, it becomes a space for leisure and connection, demonstrating how landscape design can foster slowness and unhurried activities within a natural setting.

This sustainability diagram illustrates my 'living sponge' concept for water management. It shows a systematic approach to rainwater harvesting and bioswale integration, designed to recharge groundwater, reduce runoff, and support a productive landscape.

An interior court within the 'Breathe' residence blurs the line between inside and outside. The space brings light, air, and greenery into the core of the home, with a Jaali screen that aids natural ventilation and shades the earth walls from the western sun.

These are my furniture design schematics using Lantana camara, an invasive weed. This exploration turns a harmful plant into a valuable resource, creating commercially viable furniture while empowering local artisans and promoting afforestation.

I was humbled to see my project 'Breathe' recognized as a finalist at the Latitude Design Awards. This acknowledgment from my peers reinforces my commitment to a practice centered on sustainable and contextually relevant design.
