This is the first impression of my work, a curated glimpse into the core principles that guide my practice. It showcases the integration of nature, the celebration of community, the artistry in detail, and the creation of spaces with soul. Each project is a story of collaboration and context, designed not just to be seen, but to be lived in.
Villa Soham: A Sanctuary in the Hills
This project, named 'Soham' or 'I am That', is a holiday home designed to be in complete unity with the Nandi foothills. It features a bold, sculptural roof and extensive use of concrete, steel, and wood to create a sanctuary that resonates with the surrounding mountains and sky.
Ashadeep Vidyashram: Architecture for Community
This award-winning rural school in Varanasi is a testament to how architecture can shape learning and community. Built with exposed brick, the design revolves around an intimate central courtyard, creating a playful, inspiring, and sustainable space for children to grow.
Residences for Artists & Creatives
I create spaces that are vessels for artistic energy and creative living. This collection showcases homes for artists, including the Sufi-inspired Shabnam Virmani house and the eclectic Archana Hande studio, each designed as a unique reflection of its inhabitant's spirit.
My Home & Studio: A Living Laboratory
My own home and office is where my architectural principles are lived and tested daily. It is an exploration of open-plan living, using honest materials like exposed concrete and Kota stone to create a functional, light-filled environment that seamlessly blends life and work.
The Art of Detail: Materiality and Light
I believe materials should be celebrated for their inherent qualities, enabling honesty and authenticity in the design. This is a closer look at the textures, compositions, and the poetic interplay of light and shadow on stone, metal, and wood.
Harmony with Nature
My work treats every space as a living ecosystem where the inside and outside are not separate worlds. It is a joy to see how the original inhabitants of the land, from hummingbirds to monkeys, interact with and adopt the structures we build.
The Design Journey: From Concept to Creation
Architecture is a sacred creative endeavor and a collaborative process. This collection offers a behind-the-scenes look at our sites, from the initial structural forms and construction challenges to the final moments of placing art and finishing details.
My Voice: Philosophy, Press & Pedagogy
I believe in sharing the "why" behind my work, from mentoring the next generation of architects to engaging in public discourse. Here you will find featured articles, interviews, and moments from workshops and talks where I explore the deeper purpose of space making.
