A curated selection of our work that explores the harmony between built environments and the natural world, from forest retreats to urban sanctuaries.

This Coorg estate glows at twilight, its laterite stone base and terracotta tile roof deeply connected to the earth. I designed this home to breathe with the land, where large glass corners and open verandas invite the surrounding forest and mist inside, creating a sanctuary for slow, mindful living.

The Tree House project in Delhi reimagines shelter with a sculptural, perforated metal canopy supported by branching columns. This award-winning design creates a dynamic play of light and shadow, demonstrating how modern architecture can be both innovative and deeply inspired by the protective forms of nature.

High above the main living area in the Dream Coffee Estate, this mezzanine lounge is a sanctuary in the sky. The soaring terracotta-tiled roof with integrated glass skylights, framed by hand-turned wooden balustrades, creates a serene space that feels both expansive and intimately connected to the forest canopy outside.

This sculptural staircase is a centerpiece, crafted from copper and metal with cantilevered wooden treads. It embodies a dialogue between lightness and intensity, transforming the act of ascent into a sensory experience, complemented by the natural light from a circular skylight above.

The wrap-around deck at the Varadarajan House is the heart of the home, designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. With its stone pillars, traditional swings, and open vistas of the Coorg valley, this space is a testament to architecture that embraces its surroundings and encourages a life lived in harmony with nature.

This modern home in Gurgaon showcases how to create a private sanctuary within an urban context. The design uses stacked volumes, terraces, and large glass openings to maximize light and green views, creating a warm, luxurious space that steps back from the city's pace.

At C Farm in Delhi, the garden, pavilion, and infinity pool are designed with a purity of line and form. This space exemplifies how landscape architecture can extend the home's living area, creating a tranquil retreat for relaxation and connection with the outdoors.

This video tells the story of my material choices at the Dream Coffee Estate. I believe every surface should speak of its origin, from hand-laid terracotta roof tiles and lime-finished walls to matte black pendant lights, creating a space that is felt as much as it is seen.

About Featured

We design by listening to the land first, observing how the sun moves across your specific plot and how the wind behaves before a single wall is planned. Our process involves using materials that age gracefully, such as laterite, lime plaster, and hand-chiseled stone, to ensure your home feels grounded in its environment for decades.

We designed this pavilion home to be a study in contrasts, where solid stone volumes meet porous, light-filtering screens. The structure is carefully placed to embrace the landscape, with a tranquil water lily pond at the entrance that blurs the line between the built form and the natural world.8
For the House of Veils, we created dramatic, flowing rooflines that shelter expansive outdoor living areas. The design erases the boundary between the interior and the poolside patio, creating a single, unified space for relaxation and social gatherings that is immersed in tropical greenery.
A central courtyard acts as the green heart of this home, bringing a mature tree and natural sunlight deep into the living space. This design choice exemplifies our belief that nature should not just surround a home, but be an integral part of its daily experience.
This communal courtyard within the Kolgaon Masterplan is designed as a social hub for the community. We combined sculptural seating, lush planting, and open space to create an inviting pocket park that encourages interaction and provides a shared natural retreat for residents.

The Lateral Verandah House finds its footing on a sloping hill in Lonavala, its unique timber frame creating a dialogue with the landscape. We used raw basalt walls to ground the structure, a nod to the region's architectural history, creating a space that feels both of the earth and elegantly light.8
The transformation of the old Ambico Ice Factory was a hands on process of excavation. We spent months carefully scraping away layers of plaster to reveal the original brickwork and retrofitting the structure, a surgical intervention to stabilize what time had worn away.

This render for a retreat in Almora captures my core belief: architecture should not dominate the landscape, but become part of it. Here, two blocks of rammed earth are united by a single roof, creating an informal space that respects the scale of the mountains.7
My process is rooted in craft. This physical study model shows the ground floor of a house designed for the hills, with the building's form embedded directly into the site's natural contours, demonstrating a harmonious integration of structure and landscape.
Even in larger institutional projects, the connection between inside and outside is key. For this building, we used large overhangs, patterned brick jali screens, and open corridors to foster a sense of community and allow natural light and air to flow freely.
I am fascinated by the "colours of earth." This image shows experiments with rammed earth, exploring its textures and tones. Using local, natural materials is fundamental to creating buildings that feel authentic and sustainable.
