Sustainable Architecture and Materiality for Modern Spaces

At Symbiosis International University, I used a combination of stone retaining walls, green spaces, and shaded walkways. This approach demonstrates a commitment to water preservation, healthy living, and creating a high-quality indoor-outdoor environment.

The campus at Symbiosis International University in Pune is a showcase of sustainable design. Features like green roofs, eco-friendly construction materials, and efficient water management systems are integral to the project.

This image highlights the use of indigenous materials in my projects. The image shows a detail of a brick jali, or screen, which allows for natural ventilation while creating a beautiful play of light and shadow.

A closer look at the compressed earth block (CEB) facade at the Symbiosis University Hospital. This eco-friendly material provides excellent thermal mass, helping to keep the building cool naturally.

The MS Jaali at the Sona University Centre in Salem is a modern interpretation of a traditional element. It shades the building from the sun while allowing for ventilation, and provides framed views of the surrounding landscape.

Stone is a timeless and durable material that features prominently in my work. This image shows the intricate random rubble masonry used in several projects, grounding the buildings in their context and adding a layer of texture and history.

At Symbiosis University, corridors are strategically positioned to shield the building from the harsh southern sun. Deeper overhangs and thick walls enhance this shading, naturally regulating the internal temperature and creating comfortable social spaces.

This animation illustrates my approach to balancing urban development with the natural environment. By creating interactive public spaces with endemic plant palettes, I aim to foster a stronger connection between people and nature.
