Featured Architectural Projects and Design Work
A collection of spaces where nature, light, and local craft meet to tell a story. Explore our approach to sustainable, vernacular, and adaptive architecture.
This tranquil backyard with its thriving lily pond and naturalistic landscaping blurs the line between the home and the garden, creating a private oasis.
We designed this living room with a floating roof and expansive glass walls to create a space that feels boundless, inviting sunlight and the surrounding greenery indoors.
For the Toit brewery, we created a vibrant community hub where industrial elements and warm, natural materials come together, crafting an inviting atmosphere for people to connect.
Nestled within a dense coffee estate, this resort was designed to blend with the forest, allowing the structure to sit lightly on the land and offer an immersive natural experience.
Casa AUM in Ahmedabad showcases our love for vernacular architecture, with hand-plastered walls and textures that evoke a sense of history and artistic delight.
The Earth Alive project is our experiment in sustainable design, using repurposed shipping containers to create a dynamic, multi-level space that encourages play and connection with the wild landscape.
At Aste Bar, we gave abandoned aircraft wreckage a new life, transforming scrap metal and old seats into a unique and thematic social space through creative adaptive reuse.
About this collection
When we approach a new site, our first step is to listen to the land. We avoid clear-cutting or aggressive earth moving, preferring to let the building negotiate with existing trees and rock formations. Whether we are using exposed concrete in a Bengaluru villa or repurposing shipping containers for a community space, our goal is to build structures that feel like they have always belonged to the landscape.
Our Design Philosophy
Architecture is a conversation between the sun, the wind, and the people who will live in the space. We prioritize slow design. This means taking the time to understand the specific climate of your plot, the path of the sun, and how wind moves through the area. We avoid artificial cooling where a well-placed window or a jali screen can do the job naturally.
Working with Materials
We love materials that age gracefully. Our palette often includes:
- Exposed Concrete: For honest, minimal surfaces.
- Achukal Brick & Stone: To ground the structure in the local vernacular.
- Reclaimed Timber: Sourced through our adaptive reuse projects to give new life to old structures.
Project Diversity
From residential villas to commercial breweries, our projects are built on the principles of diversity and play. We enjoy the challenge of building with unconventional materials—like salvaged aircraft parts or industrial shipping containers—because it forces us to rethink how a space can function.
If you have a project in mind, our Indiranagar design studio is where the sketching happens. We walk through concepts, massing diagrams, and material selections together before a single brick is laid. We don't just deliver a blueprint; we guide the process from concept to the final site visit to ensure the organic intent of the design is preserved.
Mistry Architects
We are Mistry Architects, though our friends know us as the ‘Thugs of Mistry’s.’ We don’t just design buildings; we craft spaces where nature feels like a guest in your home. Our work is a wild, thoughtful mix of art and function, grounded in materials that feel real to the touch.
