We believe architecture is about the stories lived inside. It is an honor to have our work recognized by peers and publications, but the real reward is seeing these homes being enjoyed by the families who live in them.

We are thrilled to be featured in 'Architectures of Transition: Emergent Practices in South Asia', a project by Rahul Mehrotra and the Harvard GSD. It's an honor to be included among such talented firms.

Our firm, Kamat & Rozario Architecture, is listed as one of the forty-one emerging practices in this important publication. We are grateful to be part of this discourse on the future of architecture in our region.

We were so proud that our 'Big-Little House' was nominated for the ArchDaily Building of the Year Awards in 2024. This recognition for a project focused on maximizing a small urban plot was incredibly rewarding.

Our 'Screen House' project was also nominated for the ArchDaily Building of the Year Awards in 2024. This project's blend of cultural motifs and climate-responsive design was a particular passion of ours.

A great moment for our team. This video shows us on stage as finalists for the IIA Latitude Design Awards, where our 'Maya House' and 'Triode Residence' projects were both recognized.

It was a pleasure to be invited as a speaker for the IIDA Summit on Architecture & Beyond. I believe architecture is a canvas for human experience, and I enjoyed sharing our firm's perspective.

Thank you to ArchDaily for featuring our 'Screen House' project. It's always a pleasure to see our work shared with a global audience of architecture lovers.

Our 'Big-Little House' was selected for the Volume Zero Hot 100 of 2023. This project's focus on creating large, light-filled volumes on a small plot really resonated.

About Awards & Recognition

While awards like ArchDaily’s Building of the Year or IIA recognitions are lovely, they mostly serve as a quiet validation that our specific design approach—prioritizing natural light, biophilic layouts, and raw, honest materials like exposed concrete—actually resonates with how people want to live today.

I’m Lester, and Smruti’s my partner here. We don’t really design for awards; we design for the morning breeze, for the dog’s favorite sunlit corner, and for spaces that genuinely breathe. If you're looking for a home that feels less like a sterile project and more like a real, lived-in space, let’s have a conversation.

A glimpse inside our feature in Design Essentia magazine, where we discuss our studio's design philosophy. We believe good design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
An excerpt from our interview with Design Essentia, where we share our ideology for designing a perfect residence. For us, a house becomes a home when it responds to the everyday life of its residents, offering comfort, a sense of belonging, and timeless appeal.
In our Design Essentia feature, we explained the design inception of The Split House. The concept grew from a simple, practical need to preserve a large tree on the site, which led to the creation of the 'split' skylight that now defines the entire home.
