Our Architectural Process: From Concept to Construction

My team and I are always on the move, and design happens everywhere, even on a flight. This video shows one of my associate architects sketching a concept, followed by scenes of site visits and the final rendered building, illustrating our process from drawing board to reality.

This diagram explains the form development and environmental strategy for a commercial building. It shows how we staggered the massing, oriented the building to control sun exposure, and used a modern jaali as a shading system to reduce energy consumption.

These diagrams illustrate the evolution of an organic façade for a commercial building. The process moves from developing a language of curves to breaking it with horizontal members, and finally to creating a perforated screen that reduces solar heat gain.

This video shows the form development for a residential structure with a "natural skin." The design process involved splitting the mass, creating voids for green spaces, and shaping the building to respond to its environment, creating a symbiosis between nature and architecture.

This animation demonstrates the urban planning strategy for a mixed-use project. It shows how we divided the site, allocated space for retail and parking, and then placed two residential towers with stepped terraces to maximize views and create vertical green spaces.

These diagrams show how we designed a commercial complex in Goa by responding to the site's natural slope. By creating multiple entry levels, we made the space more dynamic and accessible, seamlessly integrating the building with its topography.

A good section drawing tells the truth of a building. This sectional drawing reveals the floor-to-floor logic, light penetration through a central atrium, and the human scale of a residential project, demonstrating how we embed sustainability into the very form of the structure.

This image combines a render with a sectional drawing to show how a building breathes. The section reveals the passive cooling strategy, with a wind catcher promoting natural ventilation, while the render shows the final aesthetic of the terracotta façade.

This render shows the 3D model of a jewellery showroom with a faceted, diamond-inspired façade. The design process involved creating a complex, angular form that would serve as a sculptural landmark.
