This is a snapshot of our core principles in action. This collection showcases our diverse work, from serene eco-lodges and community-centric schools to innovative private homes. Each project is a testament to our belief in architecture that is ecologically sensitive, resource-efficient, and deeply connected to its environment.
Private Residences: Homes Rooted in the Earth
We believe a home should be a sanctuary that breathes with the land. This collection features residences where we used on-site soil for walls, designed clever layouts for natural cooling without air conditioners, and integrated systems for water and waste. These homes are experiments in sustainable living, tailored to the unique needs of each family and their environment.
Educational & Community Spaces: Architecture for All
We design schools and community centers as inclusive, inspiring environments for learning and gathering. Our approach prioritizes accessibility, natural light, and ventilation, using playful elements and local materials to create spaces that are both functional and joyful. These buildings are designed to be low-cost, energy-efficient, and deeply connected to the communities they serve.
Hospitality & Eco-Lodges: Immersed in Nature
We create hospitality experiences that connect guests to the local landscape and culture. Our designs for eco-lodges, resorts, and homestays prioritize ecological restoration, use of local materials like mud and stone, and collaboration with community artisans. These projects aim to provide a responsible and authentic travel experience that benefits both the visitor and the host community.
Commercial & Office Buildings: Sustainable Workplaces
We apply our ecological principles to commercial and office spaces, proving that sustainability can be integrated at any scale. These projects feature passive cooling strategies, innovative use of materials like fly ash blocks and terracotta jaalis, and integrated water management. The result is energy-efficient, naturally lit workplaces that are both productive for people and gentle on the planet.
Material Innovation & Upcycling: Giving Waste New Life
For us, there is no such thing as "junk". We see potential in discarded materials, from old keyboards and railway windows to demolition debris. This collection highlights our most creative experiments in upcycling and material innovation, where we turn so-called waste into beautiful and functional architectural elements, reducing the environmental footprint of our buildings.
Building with Earth & Community: Our Hands-On Process
Architecture for us is a collaborative, hands-on process. We are deeply involved on-site, working with local artisans and communities to build with materials sourced directly from the earth. These images capture the spirit of our practice: the laying of foundations, the crafting of mud blocks, and the shared effort that brings our ecological designs to life.
Design & Blueprints: The Thought Behind the Form
Every line we draw is guided by ecological principles. This section offers a look at our design process, from initial concept sketches to detailed technical drawings and daylight simulations. These blueprints reveal the thinking behind our work, showing how we plan for passive cooling, water management, and spatial efficiency before a single stone is laid.
From Our Archives: The Seeds of Our Practice
Every project we build today stands on the foundation of decades of learning and experimentation. This collection of images from our archives captures the early days of our practice, from working out of a basement office to foundational projects that helped shape our philosophy. These moments are a reminder of our long-standing commitment to ecological design and community collaboration.
