About A Glimpse of Our Projects

Before we pour any concrete, we build a physical scale model for every project. This lets you see how the daylight shifts, where the breeze flows, and how the space feels in three dimensions. It is the most reliable way to ensure the home you are imagining is exactly what we build.

This is the Vidyut Kapoor Residence in Bangalore, a prime example of our modern architectural style using exposed brick. The design emphasizes clean geometric lines and the interplay of solid and void, creating a dynamic facade that interacts with natural light throughout the day.8
The interior of the Vidyut Kapoor Residence reveals a double-height living space, a signature element in our designs. This feature, combined with expansive glass doors and exposed brick walls, creates an airy, light-filled home that seamlessly connects to the surrounding green space.
We also undertake large-scale projects like this estate house in Thrissur for Mr. Alex. The design balances a grand scale with traditional architectural forms, including sloping tiled roofs and deep verandas, creating a stately yet welcoming family home.
An internal courtyard in the Nivriti residence in Jakkur, Bangalore, serves as a private green oasis. We often incorporate such courtyards to improve natural light and ventilation, fostering a tranquil connection with nature within the home's footprint.

This is Audumbara, a home that truly represents my design philosophy. We used compressed earth blocks made on-site, a vaulted roof, and traditional patterned tiles to create a space that is both sustainable and soulful. The swing room, bathed in sunlight, is a perfect example of how I design spaces for quiet joy.10
In the living room of Villa 17, I used wooden arches to create a sense of flow and connection between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. This approach to open-plan living creates a space that feels both expansive and intimate, perfect for family life.
This project shows how I love to play with color to reflect a client's personality. By combining a custom blush sofa with bold teal kitchen cabinetry and polished concrete floors, we created an apartment that is modern, vibrant, and full of character.

The entrance to a private residence, designed to be a tranquil transition from the outside world. I used natural stone, warm lighting, and integrated planters to create a welcoming and organic entryway.5
The play of light and shade is a fundamental part of my design philosophy. Here, rectangular skylights cast rhythmic patterns on the floor, turning a simple covered walkway into a dynamic, sun-drenched space.
A different angle of the walkway, showing how the light patterns move and change, and how the textured exterior wall catches the light. These small details bring a building to life throughout the day.

This is a re-interpretation of a traditional courtyard. I used a terracotta jali screen to create a semi-enclosed space that feels both private and connected to the outdoors. The way sunlight filters through the screen, casting intricate patterns that shift throughout the day, brings the space to life.8
In this penthouse, I designed a helical staircase to be more than just a way to move between floors; it's a fluid, sculptural element. Bathed in light from a large skylight, its form contrasts with the clean, linear fluted wood wall, creating a focal point that is both art and architecture.
This is the Madhura residence, designed as two homes stacked together. I used compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEB) and prominent sloping tile roofs to connect the design to the family's ancestral roots while creating a modern, functional urban home with a generous front garden.
The double-height lounge is the heart of the Siri residence. I combined a random rubble stone wall with warm wood ceilings and nature-inspired art to create a space that feels expansive yet intimate. It’s designed for family gatherings, with visual connections to the gardens and terraces on every level.

Sustainable can be stunning. This bathroom showcases how natural materials like mud and lime plaster, paired with brass fittings, can create a space that is both earthy and elegant. We love proving that eco-friendly design doesn't mean compromising on luxury.

This is the heart of a home, a traditional *thotti mane* or courtyard, built right in the middle of bustling Basavanagudi. It pulls the sky and rain inside, creating a living, breathing space that connects the family with the elements. The exposed laterite stone wall and classic rain chains complete this tranquil urban oasis.8
I believe even bricks can sing. This is the oculus of an ornamental brick dome, a geometric poem that plays with light and shadow. Inspired by timeless techniques, this structure for a meditation center is designed to create a sense of harmony and quiet reverence.
The beauty of simplicity, or *Saralatheya sobagu*, is captured in this corner of the Doddaballapura mud house. The walls are finished with a simple mud plaster, the door is reclaimed wood, and the light filtering through stained glass brings a quiet warmth, proving that a home doesn't need to be loud to be beautiful.
A home should flow. Here, the dining area opens to a courtyard on one side and a sit-out on the other, blurring the lines between inside and out. The archway frames the kitchen, which features an accent wall with a Lohi lime finish, creating layers of texture and warmth.
