This is the Long House, a design defined by a dramatic cantilevered volume that appears to float above the landscape. We used exposed concrete and warm timber to create a structure that is both monumental and deeply connected to the earth, embodying our approach to tropical modernism.
The living space of the Long House dissolves into the central courtyard through expansive glass walls. We designed this to create a seamless flow between the interior and the lush greenery, ensuring the home is filled with natural light and feels like an extension of the garden.
We treat functional elements as sculptural art. This unique staircase in The Quarry House is cantilevered from a suspended concrete wall, creating a gravity-defying centerpiece that is both a passage and a statement of structural innovation.
This is the result of our Villa re:FORM project, a complete transformation of an existing structure in Hyderabad. We introduced strong linear elements, including layered pergolas and a cantilevered balcony, to give the home a bold, contemporary, and cohesive new identity.
The Timber Edge project showcases our approach to architectural intervention. As dusk settles, the home's layered facade comes alive, with warm light accentuating the interplay between timber cladding, concrete forms, and deep-set balconies that engage with the streetscape.
At the heart of the Long House lies this tranquil courtyard, a green lung that organizes the home's spatial flow. This design feature is central to our tropical modern style, allowing for natural ventilation and a constant visual connection to nature from every part of the house.
Even private spaces are an opportunity for design excellence. In The Quarry House, this bathroom opens to a private green space, blending raw materials like black stone and red mosaic tiles with natural light to create a sanctuary that feels like a personal resort.
A bedroom in the Long House designed for tranquility and connection. Large windows frame views of the garden, while a palette of natural materials and textures creates a calm, uncluttered retreat that brings the peacefulness of the outdoors inside.

About Custom Home Design & Architecture

What Drives Us

I look at every home as a chance to balance what’s bold with what’s peaceful. My style is all about clean lines, uncluttered layouts, and letting the site guide each decision. If you want a house that actually feels like it belongs where it stands, that's what I do.

How I Design

  • I focus on tropical modern home design, so your house stays cool and airy even in Indian summers. You’ll notice big windows, central courtyards, and a vibe that brings the outside in.
  • Minimalist house interiors are my thing - no extra frills or fuss. I use exposed concrete, stone, timber, and plenty of glass. The materials look and feel real, not dressed up.
  • I love using bold cantilevers. Sometimes, parts of the house seem to float, which is not just for show - it’s how I push what’s possible in structure.
  • Spaces like staircases or puja rooms become sculptural highlights, not just functional corners.

My Process

I’ll walk with you from sketch to final build. You’ll see initial 2D plans, 3D renders, and sometimes even physical models. I handle everything - from architectural planning and structural design to interiors, landscape, and MEP. It’s all one package to make sure your home feels seamless.

What to Expect

You’ll get a house that connects with nature, responds to the climate, and uses natural material finishes for that honest look. I’m not about showy, I’m about real. Happy to chat about what’s possible for your space.

My Story

We’re Vikas and Vishwas, the ones behind Crest Architects. Bengaluru is home, rain or shine, and we’re always chasing that feeling where a space just clicks with its surroundings. Sometimes it’s Milan’s craft, sometimes it’s a waterfall popping up in a backyard here. Our team’s a wild mix—Shreya, Karthick, Surya, Akanksha, Havishya—each one brings their own flavor. Winning the IIID Antarya Awards for The Quarry House? That was a real high. We’re just here to push what design can do.
