This is the first impression of my work, showcasing the core philosophy of blending architecture with nature. These projects represent the thoughtful, story-driven approach I take, whether it's a large community space, a private building, or a prestigious heritage site. Each visual is a testament to creating spaces that feel alive.
Community Housing: Designing for Interaction
I believe architecture can foster community. These designs for multi-family housing focus on creating shared spaces like open corridors, active terraces, and central courtyards that encourage spontaneous interactions and help residents form meaningful connections.
Heritage & Hospitality: Modern Comfort, Timeless Character
When working with heritage sites or creating hospitality spaces, my goal is to blend new additions seamlessly while respecting the original context. I use local materials and thoughtful design to enhance the user experience, whether it's a historic club in Bengaluru or a riverside resort.
Commercial & Institutional Spaces: Blending Function with Nature
For commercial, office, or retail projects, I focus on creating environments that are both highly functional and deeply connected to nature. I use simple geometry, exposed materials, and integrated landscapes to design spaces that are productive, inspiring, and pleasant to be in.
From Concept to Creation: A Glimpse Into Our Process
My work begins by "reading the grounds" and ends with a fully realized space. This collection shows the journey, from the raw potential of a new site to the structural bones of a building under construction, revealing the thought and craftsmanship that go into every project.
The Reading Grounds Studio: Our Philosophy & People
Reading Grounds is more than a collection of projects; it's a design collective driven by curiosity and collaboration. This is a look at the ideas that inspire me, the details I obsess over, and the community events where we share our passion for thoughtful design.
