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. We view architecture as a response to context. Whether designing a new residence like the SAMAM House, which uses linear blocks along an E-W axis to create green courtyards, or renovating existing apartments, our focus remains on the unbuilt space as much as the built. For instance, the LUCID residence utilizes a perforated metal screen to modulate light and privacy, creating an ever-changing light effect. In the Reddy Home, we blended mid-century modern exposed brick with neo-traditional cane and teak to create a space that feels deeply rooted. Our commercial work, such as the Bake House café, emphasizes transparency and preservation, framing existing tree lines to integrate the structure into the natural environment. We maintain a consistent material palette—exposed concrete, Sadarahalli granite, lime plaster, and solid teak—to provide a calm, neutral backdrop. This discipline allows the architecture to document the passage of time through shifting light and shadow rather than relying on decorative, short-lived finishes. ## About ma+rs We are ma+rs, a Bangalore-based architecture and interior design studio.
