I design public spaces in Bengaluru by reusing existing structures, focusing on real community needs, and making places that work for everyone, not just for show.

Public Architecture & Urban Design
About
I see public architecture as a kind of choreography - it’s not just building walls, it’s more like weaving together stories and spaces that belong to everyone. For me, it’s about responsibility to Bengaluru and its people, making places that feel rooted in memory and purpose. Sometimes it’s messy, often it’s a balancing act between art and the everyday.
How I Approach Urban Design
- I design for both crowds and quiet corners - a place for all, a place for some.
- Adaptive reuse of public spaces is big for me. I believe the most sustainable building is the one already standing, so I like working with what’s there and giving it new life.
- Socially responsible architecture is at the core. I want design to serve real needs, not just look pretty.
Projects in the City
Museum of Art & Photography (MAP) became more than a building - it’s a conversation with the city and its art. I do walkthroughs there, sharing the story behind the design.
Freedom Park and the National Martyrs Memorial are about urban memory and place-making. They’re spaces for reflection, gathering, and keeping heritage alive, without being stuck in the past.
Small Spaces, Big Impact
Not everything I do is grand. For the Anganwadi’s Wonder on Wheels, I converted a bus into a mobile classroom. It wasn’t easy, but design should help where it’s needed most.
Teaching and Learning
I spend time mentoring students in urban design studios, working with real city challenges - from busy bazaars to old canal areas. I see it as my responsibility to help shape how architecture serves the city, keeping the conversation going.

My Story
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.
