About

For me, architectural design is less about constructing walls and more about telling a story. I see every project as a chance to ask questions - about space, people, and the life that happens within. My process is messy, sometimes slow, but always driven by curiosity.

What I Believe

• Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword. I genuinely love working with old buildings, bringing them new meaning through adaptive reuse architecture.
• The right design fits in, not stands out. I dig into context-sensitive design, making sure buildings feel like home in their environment.
• Nature isn’t just a backdrop. I try weaving in open spaces, light, and air so rooms actually breathe.

What I Work On

• Homes: I think about my Amma’s home - it aged with time and care. That’s the feeling I chase. I handle everything, down to the door handles.
• Offices & Commercial: Work needs flexible, open spaces. I often take existing buildings and flip them into sustainable building solutions for modern use.
• Public Spaces: Architecture should give back. Museums, schools, cultural spots - I focus on spaces that invite and include.

How I Work

• Sketch first, talk later. I start with hand-drawn architectural sketches.
• I build physical models to test ideas, play with light, and see how spaces might work.
• Collaboration is key. I learn a ton from clients, artists, and sometimes even from mistakes.

I don’t just stop at buildings. Sometimes the job grows into designing interiors, furniture, or even art pieces - it’s all connected for me.
