Architecture Dialogue

About

Every project starts with a conversation, not a sketch. I listen to your ideas, talk to the land, think about the old trees, the climate, even the local stories. It's a dialogue, not just between people, but between the building and everything around it. That’s how I know the space will feel right, not just look good.

What Shapes My Work

• Local context matters - a home in Chennai shouldn't have the same vibe as something up in Nandi Hills. I pick up cues from the heritage, weather, culture and let them shape the design.
• Nature is always part of the plan. Think courtyards, terrace gardens, a balcony hugging an old neem. If there’s a tree, I try not to cut it - sometimes the whole building bends for it.
• Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for me. I design for cross-ventilation, sunlight, and spaces that don’t always need AC. Low carbon footprint is the goal.
• I love blending old Indian ideas like jali screens with modern forms. It’s not just about nostalgia - it’s about comfort and beauty.

What I’ve Built

From homes to offices to public spaces, I work across the board. I’ve designed award-winning green communities in Bangalore, nature-integrated weekend homes near the hills, and commercial spaces like the URBAN LADDER office in Hyderabad with terraced balconies. My team and I also work on public projects, like the Nirbhaya Centre for women and kids in Bangalore, and guesthouses in Tirupati that feel peaceful and spiritual.

Why I Do This

There’s a sarsarahat (that quiet buzz) when a building just fits - with its place, its people, and even the birds around it. That’s what keeps me going.
