## Meet your expert

### My story

We started out wanting to get our hands dirty, literally. For us, design kicks off with the land, the local folks, and whatever materials are lying around. It’s not just about making buildings, it’s about stories—like those homestays in MP, where elders and kids slap on mud murals together. We love digging through kabadi ki dukaan (scrap shop) for old windows, or giving Chettinad doors a second life. Every wall’s got a memory, some future too.

### My work

- **What We Build**: Private homes, schools, big community spaces, vernacular homestays, and sometimes interiors, always with an eco-first mindset.
- **Earth & Ecological Architecture**: We use mud, stone, adobe, cob—keeping natural mud wall construction alive and local architecture from fading out.
- **Community Collaboration**: Every project is participatory. We work with NGOs, governments, and locals—craftsmen lead, we follow.
- **Circularity & Reuse**: Recycled building materials are our jam. We turn waste into windows, old doors into new stories.
- **Future-Ready Design**: Design for disassembly means spaces can change, adapt, and get reused—buildings aren’t forever, but their purpose can be.
