How We See Urban Design
For me, urban design isn't just about arranging buildings on a map. It's about setting up spaces that actually make a difference in how people live, meet, and feel in the city. I always try to read the vibe of a place before doing anything. Every site has a story, and I want my work to be part of that story, not just something new dropped in.
Our Way of Planning
I start by soaking in everything about the site - its history, what locals love, the weird bits of the land. Sometimes I just sit, sketch, and let ideas come. Other times it's all about crunching numbers and looking at the slope or sun. If the terrain is tricky, like a steep ghat or a riverbank, I don't fight it - I use it. Mood boards, quick sketches, and a lot of walking around help me figure out what fits and what should be left alone.
What We Actually Do
- In crowded places like Mumbai, I design buildings that breathe. Plazas open up the ground floor, making it feel like the street is part of the building.
- For bigger community layouts, I like to make spaces where you can just walk, chill, and bump into people. Goa projects with only pedestrian alleys and surprise corners work great for that.
- If there's a tough site, like a hillside, I go for terrain-responsive design. Floating decks, semi-basements, and walkable green roofs are my jam - they connect people to nature instead of covering it up.
- I always try to mix in sustainable city planning, so these places aren’t just nice now, but also hold up for future generations.
This work is about making cities feel lived-in, not just built up.

My Story
My Work
What We Do - We handle architecture, interiors, and urban design—residential, commercial, hospitality, and more. From luxury villas to big city projects.
Context Matters Most - Every project starts with the site’s story. We let history, culture, even the weather guide our contextual architecture design.
Wellness in Every Space - We create urban wellness spaces—quiet, calm, intuitive layouts, where light and touch matter as much as looks.
Smart & Sustainable - Always prefer sustainable local materials. It’s practical, eco-friendly, and just fits better with each place.
Understated, Not Loud - We don’t shout. Our work’s about quiet confidence, letting the design and hand-sketched concept plans do the talking.
