About

I believe the greenest building is the one that’s already standing. Saving and reimagining old spaces is much deeper than just fixing walls or restoring paint - it’s about letting the past breathe into the present. Every project is a chat between what was and what could be.

How I Work

I listen to buildings. Sometimes a place whispers its history - the materials, the scars, the small details. I try to keep that alive while making it fit modern needs. Whether it’s a commercial office, a public park, or something totally unexpected, like turning a bus (Wonder on Wheels) into a rolling classroom, I’m always searching for that sweet spot where heritage and fresh ideas meet.

  • Workspaces: Stripped back, sunlit, flexible - old bones, new energy.
  • Community projects: From jail to park, or temple to gathering spot, I like spaces that give back.
  • Heritage building restoration: Retail and hospitality spots in old settings, where classic and contemporary mix.

Study and Respect

I spend a lot of time traveling and documenting. The crumbling laterite of a fort, the carved balconies of a Wada, the jali patterns, the shapes of vernacular architecture - these all feed into my work. I don't just design; I learn and respect what came before.

Always a Team Effort

Architectural conservation isn’t a solo gig. I work with artists, craftspeople, and other thinkers. Together, we try to make sure every space tells a new story while keeping its old soul.

My Story

We’re Mathew and Ghosh Architects, based out of Bengaluru. Started with a simple house for Amma back in '95, that place grew into a patchwork of memories. Sketchbook’s always with me, whether I’m doodling Le Corbusier details or dreaming up a Museum of Lament. For us, design isn’t just buildings—it’s conversations, unrealised ideas, and stories that shape spaces. We’re about drawing, talking, and keeping it real with the community.

My Work

What we do - Architecture for homes, parks, memorials, offices, schools, hotels, conservation, exhibitions, interiors, furniture, and collaborative art installations.

Collaborative design process - We team up with artists and thinkers, blurring lines between disciplines for fresh, narrative-driven architecture.

Design with a story - Our projects—be it a sustainable memorial park or a home—carry context, memory, and sometimes a bit of socio political comment.

Process and exploration - From first sketch to built space, we push adaptive reuse design, material play, and inclusive environments.
