# Cantilever Architects

We design tropical contemporary architecture rooted in a conversation with nature. Our work focuses on blending indoor and outdoor spaces, maximizing natural light, and pushing structural boundaries with cantilevered forms.

- ![Inside the 'House Under Tabebuia Trees', this dining nook is defined by a curved wall with a grid of small windows. Our guiding principle here was 'If Light defines a space, Colours define sense'. The design manipulates natural light to create a serene, almost surreal experience for the inhabitants.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b275e687-01fd-4afc-9424-ea72ed5077b1)

- ![The facade of our '10x10 Residence' project demonstrates how we reinterpret traditional motifs for contemporary living.

### My story

We’re Cantilever Architects, and honestly, our name gives it away. Always been drawn to structures that seem to float, pushing what’s possible. Our heart’s in tropical contemporary design – think sunlight pouring in, breeze everywhere, inside and outside sort of melting together. We love weaving in bits from heritage too – jaali patterns, Rangoli, even a nod to Teen Darwaza. Every project’s a team thing for us. When folks notice our work, like with Ittige or those awards, it just feels right.

### My work

- **What We Do**: We design and build homes, villas, bungalows, small offices, and cafes. Interiors, architecture, the whole package.
- **Tropical Contemporary Approach**: Our spaces use natural light and ventilation, blending indoors with outdoors for that nature-integrated house design.
- **Rooted in Nature**: Every project starts with the site’s environment. We try to give back, like in our House Under the Tabebuia Trees.
- **Modern Heritage Vibes**: We mix traditional Indian forms with a modern twist—think modern jaali screen interiors and minimalist Indian home design.
- **Pushing Structural Limits**: We love cantilevered villa structures—always up for testing boundaries and making forms that stand out.
- **Mindful, Compact Spaces**: Big or tiny, every inch matters. We balance function with a calm, surreal feel.
