A curated selection of our institutional work, showcasing our approach to creating quiet, climate-responsive spaces that harmonize with their environment.

A view from the Karunashraya Institute for Palliative Care Education and Research (KIPCER) in Bengaluru. This floating glass box, a discussion room, overlooks the central courtyard, demonstrating our approach of creating interconnected spaces that encourage both quiet contemplation and community interaction.

The entrance to the new hostel at IIM Bangalore, completed in 2022. We designed this entrance to be porous and inviting, using a blend of the campus's signature stone with modern exposed concrete to create a structure that respects its legacy while asserting its own identity.

The School of Architecture at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT). The building's dynamic facade and staggered massing are a direct expression of our goal to design spaces that inspire creativity and reflect the energy of a design school.

An aerial view of the large, open-air amphitheater at Vellore International School in Chennai. This space serves as the heart of the campus, a central node for school gatherings that is seamlessly integrated with the surrounding green landscape and waterbodies.

The fast-track building at Azim Premji University in Bhopal, clad in local Farsi sandstone. The design draws inspiration from the region's historical monuments, featuring climate-responsive elements like deep overhangs and north-south orientation to create a sustainable campus.

The main circulation spine at the IIM Bangalore Sports Center. The interplay of light and shadow created by the pergola is a key element, transforming a simple walkway into an experiential journey that connects various parts of the facility.

A serene water body at the Bagchi Karunashraya hospice in Bhubaneswar. The design is centered around creating a tranquil atmosphere, where the reflection of the sky on the water provides a sense of peace and dignity for residents.

An early charcoal sketch for the classroom complex at IIM Bangalore. This drawing captures the initial thoughts on creating a grand staircase as a vibrant, informal spillover space that complements the campus's iconic central pergola.

The 100-seater auditorium at the KIPCER building in Bengaluru. We designed this interior space with a warm, neutral palette of beige and brown to create a welcoming and focused environment for learning and knowledge sharing in palliative care.

The central courtyard of the new IIM Bangalore hostel. This space was designed to accommodate existing trees and has become a hub of student activity, visually connected across all floors to foster a sense of community.

About Featured

We treat institutional projects not as mere buildings, but as active extensions of a campus narrative. By carefully balancing new construction with existing master plans—as seen in our work at IIM Bangalore—we focus on creating porous, human-scaled environments that prioritize natural light, ventilation, and communal connection.

We believe institutional buildings should inspire and engage. At the SMR Jaipuria School, we collaborated with artists to turn the building's facade into a vibrant canvas, creating a landmark that reflects the creativity and spirit of the student community within.9
We transform overlooked "in-between" spaces into lively hubs for student interaction. This vibrant orange staircase and multi-level courtyard at SMR Jaipuria School is more than just a way to get from one floor to another; it's a place to pause, connect, and build community.
This 12,000 sq ft tensile canopy at SMR Jaipuria School provides an all-weather, climate-responsive solution for outdoor activities. The structure's elegant arches and integrated lighting create a functional and visually striking assembly area, usable day and night, rain or shine.
Natural daylight is fundamental to creating effective learning environments. Our design for Aspire School in Gurugram uses intermittent courtyards and strategic building orientation to ensure that classrooms are filled with natural light, enhancing student well-being and focus.

This aerial view of KRC Commerzone in Hyderabad encapsulates our approach to large-scale landscape architecture. We design active, democratic spaces that are not just visually appealing but are engineered to foster community, integrating green corridors, recreational zones, and pedestrian pathways into a cohesive, living ecosystem.8
At the Zydus Headquarters in Ahmedabad, we used water as a central design element to create a serene microclimate. The building's reflection on the water's surface illustrates our philosophy of creating a seamless dialogue between the built form and the natural landscape, resulting in spaces that are both monumental and tranquil.
For this private residence in New Delhi, we designed the landscape to be an extension of the home itself, creating a lush, private sanctuary. This project demonstrates our ability to craft intimate, nature-centric environments that blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living, promoting wellness and a constant connection to nature.
The Pearl Academy in Jaipur showcases our reinterpretation of traditional Indian architecture, like the 'baoli' or stepwell. This central courtyard with its water body acts as a natural coolant and a social hub, creating a dynamic and comfortable environment for students that is both visually dramatic and passively cooled.

The facade of the School of Arts and Sciences at Ahmedabad University demonstrates our approach to climate-responsive design. The integration of terracotta louvers, extensive glazing, and verdant rooftop gardens creates a building that breathes, connecting the interior learning environments with the natural landscape.7
We design libraries as sanctuaries for knowledge and quiet contemplation. At the Lilavati Lalbhai Library at CEPT University, floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelves create a warm, immersive environment, with carefully planned sightlines that draw the eye through the multi-level, subterranean space.
Our designs foster moments of spontaneous interaction and repose. Here, the sunken courtyard of the Kasturbhai Lalbhai Museum in Ahmedabad becomes an informal amphitheater, where the interplay of light, shadow, and landscape creates a dynamic social space.
The experience of art is shaped by its environment. In the Vismaya private museum, we manipulated form and light to create dramatic, atmospheric galleries, using focused illumination and dark, monolithic partitions to highlight individual artifacts and guide the visitor's journey.
