My Story
Hey, we’re SAFE. Our roots run deep in Shillong, picking up tricks from the old 'Assam type' houses—those quake-ready beauties with bamboo and timber. We got curious, so we mixed local wisdom with new tech, even nerded out at TUDelft. Big fans of Revathi Kamath, too. For us, architecture means making spaces that hug you back—like an 'Aangan' courtyard, your own slice of nature. Cozy, earthy, and yeah, safe.
My Work
Sustainable architecture and interiors - We design homes, community spaces, and interiors that put nature first, blending old and new ideas.
Timber joinery without glue - We push for timber and bamboo buildings, using joinery that skips glue for a cleaner environment.
Local techniques meet modern science - We rework Northeast Indian methods, updating them for today with research and experimentation.
Upcycled timber facades and art - Old timber, tree skin—if it’s waste, we turn it into something beautiful for your space.
Collaborating with artisans - We team up with craftspeople, share our research, and build digital tools for a greener future.
