ESTIMATESAbout Architectural Conservation & Adaptive Reuse
Old Spaces, New Life
I see every old building as a living story. My work isn’t just about patching up the past - it’s about giving it fresh meaning. Whether it’s a faded mansion or a dusty warehouse, I try to mix what’s already there with what’s possible next, so you feel both roots and wings in the space.
How I Work
- I start by listening - to both the building’s history and your hopes.
- Sustainability is my baseline. I’m all about 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle', finding something beautiful in things others toss aside (yes, even aircraft wreckage or shipping containers).
- I let materials speak for themselves. Exposed brick, raw stone, steel beams - I don’t cover them up, I spotlight them.
- Old and new aren’t rivals. I love weaving them together so the history stands out, not hidden.
What We Can Do Together
- Transform homes or commercial spaces by blending new ideas into old bones. I’ve worked on everything from family homes to breweries.
- Heritage building restoration is close to my heart. I might uncover old brick arches or show off acchukal (that classic mould-stone pillar vibe).
- Industrial space transformation gets me excited - repurposing forgotten warehouses or using salvaged materials design to build spaces that feel unique and alive.
A Few Stories
- Made a tired home in Coimbatore fresh again, letting its brick arches and stone pillars steal the spotlight.
- Built an aircraft-themed bar in Bengaluru from actual aircraft scrap and old junk - every piece tells a new story.
- Helped shape a Bengaluru brewery that’s now a community hub, mixing exposed steel and brick for that raw, honest feel.

Mistry Architects
My Story
We’re Mistry Architects, but friends call us ‘Thugs of Mistry’s’—a name Sharukh, our late founder, tossed around with love and laughter. Our studio’s a wild mix of art, nature, and pure team energy. We’re big on celebrations, be it Dasara or random road trips. For us, it’s about building spaces where you feel the earth and the people—sometimes messy, always full of heart.
My Work
What We Do - We design homes, schools, hotels, interiors, and take on conservation and socially relevant architecture.
Nature-Centric Design - Our buildings vibe with local flora, rewilded living spaces, and keep the landscape breathing.
Handmade & Local Materials - We love exposed concrete, achukal brick, and handmade vernacular details that show off craft.
Art, Function & Bio-Inspiration - Design, art, and bio-inspired ideas mix together—spaces aren’t just useful, but a bit magical too.
Old Meets New - We blend existing structures with fresh ideas; drama and learning come from weaving stories together.
