Sustainable Architecture
Available across India
We design buildings that follow the land’s shape, keep existing trees, use local materials, and include features like rainwater harvesting and courtyards for natural light and ventilation.

About
We don’t just put up buildings. We look for soul in every project, drawing from our roots in India, where places like devrai (sacred forests) teach us that nature gives, but she also asks you to respect her limits. Our designs try to bring that same respect into modern spaces.
Resilience at the Heart
What we build needs to last - not just stand, but thrive alongside its surroundings. Our spaces are shaped to “bounce back” with nature. We don’t force a structure onto land. Instead, we work with what’s already there.
- Buildings hug the land’s contours, meaning less digging and less disruption.
- Big old Mango, Neem, and Tamarind trees? We design around them, not cut them down.
- Rainwater harvesting in architecture isn’t an afterthought. We use kunds (ponds) and rain gardens, so the land stays water-positive.
Spaces That Breathe
We love the pranganam (courtyard) concept. It’s not just tradition - it works. Courtyards pull in daylight, keep air moving, and bring people together. Features like breezeways and verandas help create climate-responsive building design and cut out the need for too many ACs.
Materials Matter
Mud bricks from the site itself keep things local and cut energy use. Low carbon construction methods like the filler slab system mean less concrete and steel. We salvage old Burma teak and other woods - reuse beats new every time.
Real-Life Impact
Ask us about the zero-footprint admin office in Karnataka or the Gramam Pranganam project. We let local tradition and nature shape every step.

My Story
My Work
What We Do - We handle master planning, architecture, landscape, interiors, and heritage building restoration.
Rooted in Resilience - Our designs are all about sustainability and zero footprint architecture, inspired by Devrai inspired landscape.
Old Meets New - We blend traditional techniques with today’s needs—think mud brick construction, local materials, and a lot of heart.
Restoring With Care - When we restore, we keep the soul intact. Salvaged wood, skilled hands, every old story matters.
Spaces for Community - From community courtyard design to open grounds, our focus is always bringing people together.
