Featured Architectural Projects and Modern Home Designs
A look at our design philosophy in action. We focus on natural light, material honesty, and the dialogue between indoor and outdoor spaces to create homes that feel alive.
This is the heart of our Twin Courtyard House. We designed this tranquil pooja area to be surrounded by green space and natural light from a double-height skylight, creating a peaceful sanctuary that connects the home's spiritual core with the outdoors.
In this clip, I walk through the core concept of the Twin Courtyard residence. Instead of one central courtyard, we split it into two to maximize light and create distinct zones, a design choice that fundamentally shaped the home's open and airy feel.
This architectural render for the Kanthi Residence shows our approach to multi-level urban homes. We use a warm brick facade, extensive glazing, and integrated planters to create a dynamic elevation that brings greenery and character to every floor.
The living area of the Cube House demonstrates how we use vertical space. A double-height ceiling and a large skylight make this compact home feel expansive, while the stone-clad wall adds texture and warmth, connecting the different levels of the house.
For this commercial facade for Master Granitto, we used angular forms and a sleek, dark ACP cladding to create a bold, modern identity. The design plays with geometry and reflection, making the building a landmark in its commercial environment.
This courtyard in the Prakash Reddy Residence is a perfect example of our indoor-outdoor integration. The glass skylight over the water feature allows light to penetrate deep into the lower levels, while the open-air seating area acts as a private, green lung for the home.

About this collection
Notice how we often split a central courtyard into two smaller zones in our projects? That isn't just an aesthetic choice. In compact city plots, it allows us to draw natural light deeper into the home and create private, ventilated micro-climates that stay cool even in the heat of a Bengaluru summer.
Architecture is rarely about just the final image; it is about solving the constraints of the site while listening to the needs of the family living there. In our work, you will see a recurring emphasis on vertical volume stacking and the use of natural, raw materials like exposed brick, stone, and wood.
Our Approach to Design
- Natural Light Optimization: We prioritize skylights, double-height voids, and strategic glazing. The goal is to ensure every corner of the home feels connected to the outside, regardless of how tight the plot might be.
- Material Honesty: We believe materials should be left in their honest state. Whether it is a brick jali screen for privacy or a concrete structural element, we highlight the texture and warmth of the material rather than masking it.
- Collaboration: Our process is iterative. From the initial site analysis to the final construction drawings, we maintain a dialogue. We treat the project as a partnership, ensuring that your functional requirements—like pet-friendly layouts or specific storage needs—are woven into the architectural fabric.
Notable Projects
- The Twin Courtyard House: This project addresses the challenge of urban density by splitting the central courtyard. It provides cross-ventilation and a private green space, creating a sanctuary within the city.
- The Cube House: A study in space efficiency. By stacking and staggering volumes on a compact 35'x40' plot, we achieved a sense of openness and high ceilings that defy the footprint size.
We provide complete architectural services, from site analysis and massing strategy to interior detailing and construction monitoring. If you are looking for a home that moves away from the standard template, we would love to discuss how we can adapt these principles to your specific plot and lifestyle.

We are ID+AS Architects, led by Asad Khan. We believe architecture is a conversation between you, the site, and the materials we choose. We don’t copy-paste designs because every family, and every plot of land, has a different story to tell.
