About
Our Approach to Hospitality & Leisure Spaces
I see hospitality architecture as more than just walls and roofs. It’s about crafting places where you actually want to linger - unwind, connect, and recharge. From quiet eco-lodges to buzzing leisure hubs, I try to keep each project true to the vibe of its location and the people who’ll use it.
Rooted in Context, Designed for Life
Every project starts with the land. For example, in Coorg, I borrowed from the local 'Ainmane' style to make sure our resort felt like it belonged there, not just dropped in. I always aim for buildings that work with nature, not against it - lot of natural light, breezy spaces, and materials like local stone or timber. Sometimes, it’s challenging to balance sustainability with client needs, but I stick to using eco-friendly options wherever possible.
How the Vision Comes Together
- Resort masterplanning: I map out the whole experience, from entry roads to the tiniest details, making sure every corner fits the setting. At Club Mahindra Tungi in Lonavala, the design hugs the landscape and overlooks Pawna Lake, blending right in.
- Eco-lodge design: For forest getaways near Kanha, I went with treetop cottages—raised 16 feet high, each with its own plunge pool. It’s about privacy, quiet, and feeling like you’re part of the forest.
- Community leisure hub: In places like Sona Vistaas Clubhouse, it’s all about bold features (like a terracotta-red spiral staircase) that pull people in and give the space energy.
Why It Works
I keep things collaborative. You’ll see me working closely with clients, my team, and the site itself. The goal is always to create something that feels lasting and inspiring, even if that means lots of back-and-forth or redesigns along the way.
