Nature-Integrated Homes: Biophilic Architecture for Bengaluru

A wide view of the 'House of Greens' living area, showing how the dining space, living room, and garden are all visually connected. The open-plan layout and large glass walls are key to creating this sense of expansive, shared space.

A quiet outdoor seating area designed for relaxation and conversation. The space is sheltered by the building's overhang while remaining completely open to the garden, offering a perfect example of indoor-outdoor living.

This is 'House Belaku,' which means 'House of Light' in Kannada. The design uses red perforated screens and large windows to control and celebrate sunlight, creating bright, airy interiors and a striking modern facade.

A close-up of the facade of my 'Jenu Goodu' (Beehive) project. The design combines the warmth of brick with the precision of metal louvers and the wildness of a rooftop garden, showcasing a rich material palette.

In 'A Home by the Park,' a central light well with a water feature and vertical garden becomes the heart of the home. This space connects different living areas and brings the calming elements of water and plants right into the interior.

The nameplate for 'Jenu Goodu' (Beehive), my first project, crafted from corten steel. The name, written in Kannada, reflects my practice of grounding modern designs in local culture and language.

A view from a terrace garden looking into a cozy seating nook. This image captures the essence of my design philosophy: creating private, comfortable spaces that are always just a step away from nature.

Another perspective of the main living hall, highlighting the double-height ceiling and the mezzanine level. This creates a sense of grandeur and vertical space, while elements like the indoor swing add a touch of playful comfort.

Sunlight streams into the living room, casting shadows and highlighting the rich textures of the wooden floor and leather armchair. My designs are carefully oriented to make the most of natural light throughout the day.
