From terracotta jalli walls that regulate airflow to precision-cut screens and custom stone cladding, we design functional elements that make your home uniquely yours.

This video shows the installation of a terracotta jalli wall. This traditional element is not just decorative; it provides excellent ventilation and diffuses harsh sunlight, naturally cooling the interior spaces.

A simple yet effective circular skylight. I use skylights to bring daylight into the deepest parts of a building, reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating interesting plays of shadow.

A close-up of a custom sandstone cladding element being installed. The three-dimensional leaf pattern creates a beautiful, textured surface on this double-height living room wall.

Detail matters. Here, you can see a classical column at a residence entrance, expertly cladded in marble with a shaped cornice base for a refined and elegant finish.

A glimpse from the workshop, where a worker is spray-painting a CNC-cut metal screen. These custom-fabricated panels are often used for gates, railings, or decorative partitions in my projects.

About Signature Architectural Details

We believe architecture is defined by how a building responds to its environment. When we integrate details like terracotta jalli walls or strategic skylights, our focus is on managing natural light and ventilation, ensuring that your home remains comfortable and private without relying heavily on artificial systems.

I’m Ashok Shetty, and I lead the team at Process Architects. For over 30 years, we’ve focused on the tactile side of building because we believe materials like laterite and exposed concrete should age gracefully. If you want a home designed around craft and climate rather than trends, let’s get in touch.
