Architectural Details and Materiality

A view of the Sona Vistaas clubhouse interior, where the terracotta staircase is juxtaposed with the cool blue of the swimming pool. The design creates a dynamic interplay of color, form, and reflection.

From the clubhouse lobby, the spiral staircase is glimpsed in the background, drawing the eye and inviting movement. Its placement ensures it is a central feature from multiple viewpoints.

Another perspective of the Sona Vistaas staircase, highlighting its helical form as it connects the different levels of the clubhouse. It is a seamless blend of movement, structure, and visual drama.

At the Symbiosis University Hospital, I used compressed earth blocks (CEB) to create this intricate brise-soleil. The pattern is not just decorative; it modulates sunlight, creating a beautiful play of light and shadow while reducing heat gain.

This perforated brick wall demonstrates how indigenous materials can be used in innovative ways. The gaps in the brickwork allow for natural ventilation and create a mesmerizing pattern of light, enhancing the building's facade.

I have always been drawn to the timeless quality of stone. This detail of a random rubble masonry wall from a project circa 2008 shows a deep appreciation for local craft and materials that stand the test of time.

A detail from a project circa 1996, showcasing board-formed concrete texture alongside a circular window. This interplay of rough and smooth surfaces, and of rectilinear and curved geometries, adds richness to the facade.

The facade of the Buena Vista Apartments is defined by its distinctive scalloped balconies. This rhythmic, curvilinear element gives the building a unique identity and a sense of graceful movement.

The new food court at Hill Side Town, JSW, features a lightweight steel roof structure and perforated screen walls. This design provides shelter while maintaining a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape.
