We design spaces that bridge the gap between built environments and the natural landscape. This collection of selected works illustrates our commitment to climatic sensitivity, material honesty, and spatial transparency.

This central courtyard in the SAMAM House, featuring a skylight and a traditional swing, embodies our core principle of integrating nature and light into the heart of the home. It acts as a green lung, creating a tranquil and visually connected living experience.

This video documents the complete transformation of a dated 1205 sq ft apartment into the Mane home. We reconfigured the compartmentalized layout into an open plan, enhancing natural light and creating multi-functional spaces inspired by traditional Karnataka homes.

For the Reddy Home, we designed a dining area that blends neo-traditional elements with modern comfort. The custom teak dining set, antique brass lighting, and a reclaimed wooden column create a warm, inviting space for family gatherings.

The living area of the LUCID residence showcases our minimalist approach using a humble material palette. Exposed concrete ceilings and vitrified tile floors create a neutral backdrop, punctuated by a custom wooden screen that separates the foyer.

We designed this custom bunk bed for the Chakma Home's kids' room to maximize play area in a compact space. The design incorporates playful arches, integrated storage, and a soft color palette to create a fun and functional environment.

The kitchen in the SAMAM House is designed for functionality and connection to the outdoors. A wide window over the sink provides natural light and garden views, while the material palette of teak, grey cabinetry, and granite countertops ensures durability.

The entrance to the Bake House cafe frames the glass-encased structure, designed to coexist with the surrounding trees. This project demonstrates our ability to create inviting commercial spaces that seamlessly blend architecture with the natural landscape.

In the Reddy Home, an exposed brick feature wall serves as a warm, textured backdrop for the living area. This element, referencing mid-century modernism, contrasts with the neutral plaster walls and complements the custom teak and cane furniture.

Our practice relies on a highly collaborative process. We begin with physical models to study light, ventilation, and spatial flow, ensuring that even compact urban apartments, such as our 1,250 sq ft renovation at Mane, achieve the openness of larger residences by reconfiguring rigid, compartmentalized layouts.
