Funktion Design

About

For me, the main thing is the idea behind a building. I want every space to feel like it has a real purpose, not just something put together for the sake of looks. You’ll see a lot of concrete in my work - not polished up, just left raw and honest. I like steel for those slim, see-through connections, and wood for a bit of warmth. My goal? Make places that actually inspire you, not just shelter you.

How I Work

• Material honesty: I don't cover things up. Concrete is concrete, wood is wood. You’ll see the craftsmanship, good or bad.
• Light, air, volume: I design homes and offices that breathe. Big courtyards, skylights, double-height spaces. You get natural light and that open, airy vibe.
• Nature is always a partner. I’ll stagger balconies so you get tree views, add water channels for coolness, and play with courtyards – like the classic totti mane (courtyard house).
• I enjoy modernising tradition, especially for compact city plots.

What I Design

• Homes that breathe - from multi-gen family places to quirky extensions. Sometimes the house is a fortress outside, but inside opens up like a tropical retreat. Sliding partitions, rainwater roof channels, lily ponds - it’s all possible. If you’re into courtyard house architecture or want something with that modern Indian style, you’ll probably vibe with my work.
• Offices that inspire - not the usual boxy places. Think sustainable office interiors with open plans, natural light, and features that actually lower AC use. My own studio is proof - open, flexible, always evolving.

The Journey

Every project is a new adventure. We start with a core idea and let it evolve. Sometimes the process is smooth, sometimes it’s a bit mad - but that’s how you get real integrity in design. If you want nature-integrated building concepts or something that feels genuinely modern, I’m here for it.
