Conceptual Designs and Architectural Explorations

These concepts are not just ideas on paper. They are where we test how light, landscape, and structure interact before we even break ground. For instance, in our Goa institute study, the sectional drawings helped us figure out how to work with the natural slope of the land rather than leveling it, preserving the site's original character while creating a functional learning environment.

Architecture is as much about what you leave behind as what you build. In this collection, you will find our experimental works in progress, including the design stages for the Hoodi Convention Center and our institute project in Goa. When we design, we start with a conversation and a sketch. We use diagrams, models, and 3D renderings to understand a site's constraints and potential.

Take the Hoodi Convention Center concept. We wanted to preserve a tree within the building's footprint, so we played with the form to wrap the structure around it, ensuring the tree became the center of the entrance hall. In our sectional studies for the Goa project, the focus was on how the building sits on a sloping site. Instead of fighting the terrain, we designed the structure to step down, allowing natural light to penetrate deeper into the building while minimizing excavation. These explorations allow us to refine our approach to materiality, specifically how brick, concrete, and steel age within our climate. Every drawing here serves a purpose—to find the most efficient and meaningful way to build. If you have a site you are looking to develop, looking at these concepts might give you an idea of how we think about space, light, and context.
