We revisit the milestones that defined our philosophy. These projects taught us the value of restraint, context, and the stories hidden within stone and timber.

A look back at the Kumar Residence, one of our earliest milestone projects. This home, with its lush green wall, taught us about the power of restraint and bringing nature indoors.

A dining nook in the Kumar Residence, featuring custom copper pendant lights and a view of the vertical garden. This project was about creating quiet moments where detail and craft could shine.

The Modi Residence, another one of our memorable early projects. Here, we experimented with an origami-inspired stone wall and sculptural brass lighting to create a dramatic dining space.

In the Modi Residence, we transformed a structural column into a design feature and used bold color, like this yellow floor lamp, to create visual interest and define zones.

The Bhasker Residence, a renovation project that taught us about turning constraints into creativity. A structural column became a fluted organic form, and a fireplace was reimagined as a serving ledge.

The Chandhiok Residence, our AD100 project from 2019. This space showcases our expertise in creating custom built-in furniture and designing open, flowing layouts that are both functional and beautiful.

A quiet corner in the Bammi Residence basement lobby, featuring an antique wooden horse from Kutch. This space welcomes guests with a blend of rustic charm and historical significance.

The ground floor family lounge at the Bammi Residence, where a custom sideboard by Furgonomics is paired with a gallery wall of family photos. The design creates a space that is both stylish and deeply personal.

The entrance foyer of the Bammi Residence, featuring a unique stone door with cast brass handles. The design pays tribute to India's heritage while embracing sustainable luxury.

The entrance to 'The 42' in Kolkata, featuring honed granite walls and a crafted main door. The foyer showcases a Revati Sharma Singh installation, setting a tone of artistic luxury from the moment of entry.

About Retrospective: Our Foundational Projects

The Kumar Residence was one of our earliest milestones, serving as a defining lesson in the power of restraint. By integrating a vertical garden with precise material choices, we learned that architecture breathes when you prioritize space over ornamentation, allowing the specific details to emerge naturally.

We are Amrita Guha and Joya Nandurikar. For over twenty-five years, we have focused on shaping spaces that prioritize narrative, context, and heritage over temporary trends. Our work centers on the belief that a home should tell a story, whether through a single sculptural element or the way light interacts with local materials.

This is the double-height living space of our Sun House project. We used textured brickwork flowing from exterior to interior to create a dramatic, monolithic feel, while the sunken amphitheater-style seating establishes an intimate, grounded area for conversation, demonstrating our belief that space can be both grand and personal.8
In Apartment 56, we explored the concept of fluid, gallery-like living. Inspired by land artists, we designed the interiors as a series of seamless, experiential spaces where sculptural columns, petal-like ceilings, and a reflective water feature merge art and architecture into a single, cohesive experience.
We design bathrooms as private sanctuaries that connect with nature. This space from our Moira Homes project features a freestanding tub and a glass wall that opens to a lush, private internal courtyard, transforming a daily routine into a serene, tropical experience.
Color and form are central to our storytelling. For the dining area in Apartment 56, we custom-designed these volumetric, velvet-upholstered chairs and a matching pink table to introduce warmth and bold character into an otherwise minimal, open-plan space.

We believe modern additions should sit lightly upon historic structures. For this adaptive reuse project in Bangalore, we wrapped the original 1980s building in a delicate skin of perforated, folded metal sheets. This new filigree facade filters light and offers a new identity while respecting the old bones of the building.8
The arched colonnades of the RBANM’s High School, dating back to 1873, restored and given a new lease on life. Our conservation work here was about more than repair; it was about preserving a place of learning and memory for future generations of students in Bangalore.
In restoring the 1740 Stuber Hall in Fort Kochi, we carefully introduced modern comforts without disrupting the building's soul. This private pool and courtyard, with its bold red accent wall, creates a contemporary sanctuary within the historic Dutch structure, a dialogue between past and present.

Art is not an afterthought; it is integral to the spaces I design. This view from the Museum of Art & Photography (MAP) in Bangalore shows how architecture can create a stage for art, with sculptures by Stephen Cox finding their place within the building's flow and light.

This heritage-inspired farmhouse is a study in timeless grace, where classical proportions meet the comforts of modern living. The pristine white facade and tranquil pool create a dialogue between architectural grandeur and serene landscape design.8
We designed this modern home to breathe with its natural surroundings. The structure uses raw concrete, warm wood, and expansive glass to dissolve the boundaries between the interior and the lush greenery outside, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
This sculptural spiral staircase is more than a functional element; it is the artistic heart of the space. Its bold color and floating form create a powerful visual statement, demonstrating our belief that even the smallest details can define a home's character.

This intricately carved wooden doorway at the Varadarajan House in Coorg serves as a threshold between the outer world and a serene inner sanctuary. Framed by earthy laterite stone, it is an example of how we honor traditional craftsmanship, creating an entrance that feels both grand and deeply personal.7
In the living room of the Dream Coffee Estate, a reclaimed antique wooden column stands as a silent witness to time, grounding the double-height space. We designed this room to be a conversation between old and new, where hand-chiseled stone floors and modern furnishings coexist under the expansive canopy of the Coorg forest visible through large glass doors.
For this Delhi residence, we introduced a traditional wooden swing into a contemporary living space defined by cool grey lime-plastered walls and polished marble floors. This adaptive reuse project focuses on creating a harmonious balance, where modern minimalism is softened by familiar, tactile elements that evoke a sense of calm and playfulness.
