## About Residential Architecture

### What Drives Our Designs

I’m not just designing buildings, I’m building stories. Every home I work on has its own vibe – you’ll feel it when you touch raw mud blocks or walk across cool oxide floors. I get a kick out of how light changes a space from sunrise to sunset. Whether it’s a modern penthouse or a farmhouse out in the sticks, I want it to feel honest, tied to its spot, and full of personality.

### Earthy, Eco-Friendly Spaces

Most of my heart is in eco-friendly home design. I go for alternative methods that cut down concrete - think CSEB (compressed earth blocks) for walls, filler slabs with terracotta, and using old wood or grills wherever I can. Natural building materials like Jaisalmer stone or an oxide finish give a home its own character. Sometimes, I’ll salvage an old door and just let it be the star.

### Clean, Modern Homes

Minimalist doesn’t mean boring. I love clean lines, floating stairs that almost look like they’re from an art gallery, and all-white interiors made warmer with wood. Sometimes I’ll throw in a corten steel facade or a louvered screen for privacy and that extra bit of drama.

### Urban Plots & Farmhouses

In cities like Bangalore, I go vertical – internal courtyards and terrace gardens bring in that much-needed nature. For farmhouses, it’s all about big verandas and a proper jagali (raised platform) to soak in the landscape.

### How I Work

I handle everything from those first sketches to the final styling. One point of contact, no faff. I’m all about seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces, working around trees, and letting skylights or brick jalis (screens) play with sunlight in cool ways.

## Meet your expert

[Design Kacheri](https://mytribe.in/designkacheri)

### My story

We’re Design Kacheri, led by Nidhish and Chaitra. We’re kinda obsessed with two things: earthy homes made with mud, brick, and old doors, and those crisp, minimalist penthouses that feel super calm. Bengaluru keeps us on our toes! For us, it’s all about homes that just feel right, whether it’s a jagali (sunny deck) or a sculptural staircase. Spaces should carry the vibe of the people living in them.

### My work

- **Full Architecture & Interior Design**: We handle everything from concept to completion, including custom design products.
- **Earthy and Minimal Styles**: We love mud house architecture and minimalist penthouse interiors, switching between warm and crisp looks.
- **Sustainable Building**: We use filler slab construction, repurpose vintage doors, and focus on eco-friendly materials.
- **Client-Centric Design**: We design for people, making cozy spots like jagali decks and tulsikatte, always collaborating.
