What Drives Our Designs

I see architecture as more than just putting up walls and roofs. It’s about shaping spaces that people actually feel connected to, especially in a city like Mumbai where every corner tells a story. What we build, what we keep, all that ends up changing the city bit by bit.

How I Work: From Idea to Reality

My process is pretty hands-on. I like to start with proper conversations, getting to know what you want and what the space needs. I use a mix of hand sketches, physical models, and then digital tools like AutoCAD or SketchUp. This way, I can try out every possibility before we lock anything in.

What I’ve Built

• Homes that breathe: I focus on sustainable residential architecture, like using local materials and passive cooling techniques in architecture. For example, in Pune, I built around trees and used mud and stone so the house actually feels cool in the summer.
• Weekend retreats: Whether it’s a lakeside bungalow at Pavna or a wooden cabin, I pay attention to making each place feel like it belongs right there in nature.
• Adaptive reuse architecture: Projects like transforming a river cruise boat into a floating restaurant (like 'Queensline-Sea Yah') let me combine technical skills with creativity.
• Public spaces: I’ve worked on redesigning busy places like Bandra Station with wider walkways and green spaces, and designed parks with the local community.
• Institutional and industrial: I’ve handled everything from preschools to hangars, so I’m comfortable with complex and functional design too.

Why I Do This

For me, being an architect means staying involved in conversations about how our cities grow and how we can do better. I genuinely care about thoughtful, practical changes—sometimes that means joining talks on urban planning, sometimes it’s just listening to what people in the neighborhood actually need.
