About Residential Architecture
What Home Means to Us
Home isn't just walls and a roof, it's your own safe space. At Firm Terra Architects, we put heart into every detail. Whether you love the look of exposed brick or want your place to open up into the garden, we try to make your home feel like you.
How We Design
Sustainability is more than a buzzword for us - it's how we approach every project. We use natural building materials wherever possible, and plan each detail so that light and air move well through your home. I don’t stick to one style. Some folks want modern, some like traditional Indian residential architecture, and some dream big with estate homes. We get that, and we try to shape the design around what works best for you and your land.
The Terra Signature
- Courtyards and verandas for breezy indoor-outdoor living
- Double-height spaces for a roomy feel
- Custom house plans that fit each plot, whether small or huge
- Local materials like brick, stone, and wood for warmth and texture
Real Talk
Not every plot makes things easy and sometimes the site throws up surprises. But we believe that’s where good design happens - finding solutions that suit your space and your lifestyle.

My Story
We’re Firm Terra Architects, and ‘Terra’ is really our vibe – earth, ground, roots. Been sketching and building around Bangalore since 2001, from sleek factories to homes with exposed brick that look like they grew from the soil. It’s a kick watching sunlight dance on a wall or seeing a courtyard become the soul of a house. Every client brings a new story, and we dig working with folks who love thoughtful details.
My Work
What We Do - Architectural design for homes, commercial spaces, and factories. We also handle sustainable construction and integrated interiors.
Design Approach - No cookie-cutter stuff – we mix earthy Indian styles with clean, modern lines. Always concept-driven, always functional.
Materials & Nature - Big fans of exposed brick home design, natural stone, and wood. Indoors flow into gardens and courtyards, lots of light.
Our Experience - Two decades in Bangalore – bespoke houses, estate homes, sustainable industrial architecture, and more.
