Featured Architectural Projects in Bengaluru
We believe architecture shapes how we live. Explore our featured work, where contemporary design meets local context through raw materials and open, light-filled spaces.
This is our 'Heirlooms in Concrete' residence in Bangalore. The facade demonstrates our approach to modern urban living, using a dynamic composition of raw concrete and a delicate wooden screen that provides both privacy and a connection to the outdoors.
The living area of the 'Heirlooms in Concrete' home, where a contemporary swing adds a playful element. We combined a warm wood ceiling, textured concrete walls, and polished grey flooring to create a space that feels both expansive and intimate.
We believe in integrating nature within the home. This internal courtyard and staircase show how we use voids and greenery to bring natural light and life deep into the building's core, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
Our 'Brickly Affair' residence, as featured on ArchDaily. This project explores the versatility of brick, creating a permeable, textured screen that defines the building's character while interacting with light and shadow.
This staircase is a central feature in our 'Brickly Affair' project. We designed the mild steel railing to double as a multi-level bookshelf, transforming a simple circulation space into a functional and interactive family library.

A rendering of our conceptual 'Belagavi Home', which embodies our 'Glocal' design approach. The design merges contemporary architectural language with vernacular elements like vaulted roofs and local stone, creating a home that is both modern and deeply rooted in its context.
About this collection
In every home we design, the courtyard acts as the lungs of the structure, pulling natural light and ventilation deep into the living spaces. When you view our projects, you will see how these voids break down the massing, allowing families to remain connected across levels while maintaining individual privacy.
Our design philosophy is rooted in what we call 'Glocal' architecture. This approach allows us to blend global contemporary aesthetics with the local building traditions of Bengaluru and Karnataka. Projects like our 'Heirlooms in Concrete' residence illustrate this dialogue between tradition and modern utility, where we balance the raw, rugged nature of exposed concrete with the warmth of timber and the practicality of split-level planning.
Designing for Context
We view site analysis as the first step of any meaningful design. By studying solar paths and wind direction, we minimize reliance on artificial cooling, opting instead for passive ventilation. In our 'Brickly Affair' project, we utilized a porous brick facade to facilitate airflow while defining the building's street presence.
Our Process
Whether we are working on Shell and Core residential projects or integrated interior architecture, our focus remains on material honesty. We favor cast-in-situ concrete, colored oxides, and local Basalt stone.
- Shell & Core: We provide comprehensive structural and spatial consultancy, including solar analysis, 3D massing, and civic sanction drawings.
- Integrated Design: We extend our architecture services to include interior elements, such as custom joinery, flooring patterns, and civil interiors like cast-in-situ shelving.
- Commercial & Hospitality: We treat these spaces as community hubs, designing for high-footfall circulation and impactful branding through volumetric design.
For every project, our team conducts regular site visits to oversee material application and ensure the final structure adheres to our original design intent.
