We design homes around light, air, and nature. This central courtyard, a modern interpretation of the traditional `mutram`, forms the green heart of this farmhouse, connecting all living spaces and creating a tranquil, private oasis for the family.
This expansive living area in one of our farmhouse projects showcases our approach to warm, luxurious interiors. We use a palette of rich textures, including natural wood ceilings and polished marble floors, to create a space that is both grand and inviting, with abundant natural light.
The play of light and shadow through this bespoke `jaali` screen is a signature element in our designs. It provides natural ventilation and passive cooling while casting intricate patterns, adding a layer of artistry and heritage to the modern interior.
The facade of the Eco Terre residence demonstrates our expertise in modern residential architecture and eco-friendly renovation. We combined wood cladding, large glass panels, and clean lines to create a visually striking exterior that respects its natural surroundings.
We integrate sustainable building techniques like this filler slab ceiling using terracotta pots. This method not only reduces the concrete load and improves thermal insulation, but also adds a unique, rustic aesthetic to the interior space.
Our designs extend to creating complete lifestyle experiences. This aerial view captures the leisure-focused heart of a farmhouse project, where the swimming pool is thoughtfully integrated within a courtyard, offering privacy and a resort-like feel.
We believe in creating sanctuary-like personal spaces. This bathroom blurs the line between indoors and outdoors, incorporating a live tree and natural stone to create a spa-like retreat that is connected to nature.
A grand entrance sets the tone for the entire home. For the Eco Terre project, we designed a powerful stone-clad entryway that frames a view through the house, creating a sense of arrival and hinting at the modern, open spaces within.

About Residential Architecture & Design

A home isn’t just bricks and beams for us - it’s where all your stories begin. We design living spaces that balance old-school South Indian charm with a clean, modern vibe. You’ll see both tradition and the latest tech side by side.

What Drives Our Designs

  • We mix classic features, like central courtyards (mutram), jaali screens, and old wooden pillars, with sleek lines and comfy layouts.
  • Energy efficiency matters to us. We study sun and wind patterns for natural light and cross-ventilation, so you’re not stuck with AC all day.
  • Your routines shape our plans. Whether it’s a cozy thinnai (veranda), a swing (oonjal), or spaces for family hangouts, we tailor each corner for everyday life. We also do Vaastu compliant home design - if that’s your thing.

What We Offer

  • Full new home architecture, from city homes to farmhouses. Modern South Indian house architecture is our specialty.
  • Extensions and eco-friendly residential renovation. We keep what’s good and modernise the rest.
  • Interiors and furniture, planned to make your space flow.
  • Farmhouse and villa design, with indoor-outdoor living spaces for that open, breezy feel.

You’ll see the MTA touch in reclaimed heritage material reuse in home design, seamless indoor-outdoor zones, and a mix of luxury and earthy textures. We’ve designed everything from a compact city oasis to a sustainable farmhouse with upcycled materials, so every project has its own story.
