About Press & Publications
The images here are from the Madhura House, a project featured in The Architect's Diary. People often ask how we balance raw materials like terracotta and mud bricks with the demands of a dense urban plot, but for us, the success of this home lies in how the spaces breathe—from the skylights to the jagali sit-outs—ensuring the architecture supports the life lived within.
When we design a home, we look for a narrative. In the Madhura house, that narrative was about homecoming. We used Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEB) and vaulted ceilings to reduce the reliance on concrete, a choice that lowers the carbon footprint while keeping the interiors naturally cool. In Bengaluru's climate, these materials behave differently than standard brick and mortar. They act as thermal mass, keeping the home comfortable throughout the day.
Our approach to architecture is bioclimatic. We design for how light moves, where the wind flows, and how a family interacts with their environment. Whether it is a traditional Tulasi brindavan or a sculptural staircase, every element has a purpose. We believe in honest construction, where materials like oxide, Jaisalmer stone, and wood are left in their natural state to age gracefully. If you look closely at these photos, you will notice the leaf imprints on the walls and the intentional use of filler slabs, techniques we use to maintain a sustainable and rooted aesthetic. Our work is a collaboration, and seeing it recognized in journals is an invitation for us to share these design processes with more people.
