Architectural Design and Exterior Facades
Architecture is a dialogue between your lifestyle and the natural environment. We shape structures that breathe, play with light, and sit perfectly within their landscape.
A cinematic tour of Yuvraj Singh's holiday home in Goa. The architecture is designed to embrace the outdoors, with sweeping vistas, a stunning pool, and a swim-up bar, making it the ideal setting for soirées.
The interiors of the Goa holiday home feature sublime simplicity. This bedroom, with its neutral palette and large windows, is minimally furnished to ensure the focus remains on the breathtaking natural surroundings.
The living room in the Goa home is bathed in natural light. The design uses a neutral base with infusions of yellow and blue, while light-toned furniture maintains an airy, relaxed aesthetic perfect for a holiday retreat.
Floral printed furnishings add a pleasant counterbalance to the plain, neutral surfaces in this holiday home. The design leans towards a restrained aesthetic, creating a space of sublime simplicity.
This spacious bedroom features an exposed beam vaulted ceiling and large sliding doors that open to a balcony. The design maximizes the sense of space and connection to the outdoors, with a built-in window seat for enjoying the view.
A home shaped by light, views, and the lake breeze. This shot from a project in Pawna captures the essence of my design philosophy: creating architecture that frames and enhances its natural surroundings.

This video provides a glimpse of the holiday home at Amarja Hills, Pawna. From the unique winged roof design to the infinity pool overlooking the valley, every element is crafted to create a luxurious escape.
A close-up of the exterior wall of a holiday home in Lonavala. I used these three-dimensional, granite-finish blocks to create a dynamic facade that plays with light and shadow, inspired by the wings of the Sahyadri mountains.

About Architectural Vision & Exteriors
We design exteriors by studying how sunlight and wind move across your specific site. For projects like our villas in Pawna or the Lonavala retreat, we do not simply build a structure. We craft a facade that reacts to the environment throughout the day. By mapping these sightlines early, we ensure your building feels like a natural part of the terrain rather than something forced upon it.
When we approach a new site, whether it is a private villa in Goa or a residential tower in Mumbai, our goal is to achieve what we call silent architecture. This means the building should not compete with its surroundings but rather frame and enhance them.
For our projects in Pawna, we utilized winged roof designs and granite-finished blocks to mirror the Sahyadri mountains. This requires a deep understanding of local topography and material science. We do not apply the same aesthetic to every plot. Instead, we perform site-specific planning that accounts for slope, drainage, and sun orientation.
For our urban work with developers like Platinum Corp, we focus on how light hits a building at dusk. We use lighting design as a tool to define form, ensuring the structure creates a warm presence in the city skyline.
Our process is fully transparent. Because we handle everything from the first sketch to the final construction, you see the evolution of your project through 3D models and VR walkthroughs. This allows us to resolve structural challenges and refine the aesthetic long before the first shovel hits the ground.
