Treelight Design

About

We don’t just do buildings - we try to create experiences. For me, architecture is like a quiet poem, always looking for that sweet spot between the built and the natural. I keep things rooted, honest, and light. You’ll find I’m drawn to materials that speak for themselves, and I believe spaces can be simple and still feel rich.

Where Our Designs Show Up

• Homes: My residential work is all about sanctuary. Whether it’s a villa in Nandi Hills or a Goa hideaway, I like spaces that connect inside and out, with big volumes and laid-back vibes.
• Commercial: I try to give shops and offices a brand identity through design, with things like folded ferrocement facades or sustainable building materials that catch your eye and feel good to use.
• Hospitality: Resorts, spas, and restaurants are designed to belong to their place. I use local construction techniques, whether it’s a tea shop in Kerala or a spa tucked into the hills, so the space feels lived-in, not just placed.

How I Work

• Context-driven architecture matters to me. I source materials locally, cut down on the carbon footprint, and support local crafts.
• I borrow from tradition, like mortarless temple construction, but mix it with modern, organic architectural forms.
• What you get is a space that feels honest—comfortable, a bit understated, and sometimes as familiar as a chaithela (tea stall) on your street.

What You’ll See

Take the Earth Experience Centre in Nandi Hills - built with local granite, CSEB blocks, and almost no cement. Or the Aqua Pool & Spa in Karnataka, where a fluid ferrocement roof makes the whole place feel like a modern cave. I’m always chasing that balance between privacy and views, comfort and connection.
