A selection of projects that define our philosophy: where rigorous architectural thinking meets the practical demands of our environment.

The open-air bar on the upper deck of the Queensline Sea Yah, designed to offer panoramic views of the Mumbai skyline. The skeletal structure above the bar is a custom sculpture inspired by a blue whale skeleton, anchoring the space with a distinct maritime identity.

The multipurpose entrance lobby of JOY Preschool, which serves as both a reception area and a space for reading sessions. The design features natural wood slats, custom child-safe furniture, and a small climbing wall against a vibrant yellow backdrop to create an engaging and playful atmosphere.

A residential project in Lonavala, featuring a covered outdoor dining area with an expansive view of Pavna Lake. The design utilizes a diagrid roof structure and natural wood to create a seamless connection between the built environment and the surrounding landscape.

The main dining hall of the Queensline Sea Yah floating restaurant. To address the challenge of a low ceiling, we developed a repeating, tree-like structural element from Indian Teak wood, which gives the long space character and a sense of rhythm.

We are proud that our Queensline Sea Yah project was longlisted for the prestigious Dezeen Awards in 2019. This image shows the main dining area, where brass inlays and custom lighting complement the teak wood paneling, reflecting our commitment to material richness and detailed execution.

An earlier floating restaurant project we designed in Goa, captured at dusk. This project demonstrates our experience in creating unique waterfront hospitality venues, with a focus on open-air structures and atmospheric lighting that enhances the natural setting.

About Featured

Every project starts with a conversation about context. Take our floating restaurant at the Gateway of India—we did not just design an interior, we navigated the engineering constraints of a vessel repurposed from Istanbul. By utilizing repeating teak-wood elements, we turned a low-ceiling maritime shell into a rhythmic, open dining space that allows the Mumbai skyline to remain the focal point.

For the Evershine House in Bandra, I envisioned a tower that contributes to the streetscape rather than just occupying it. The design draws inspiration from the architectural language of historic South Bombay, reinterpreting its arched windows and rhythmic proportions with a contemporary edge. It is a landmark that bridges heritage and modernity in one of Mumbai's most vibrant neighborhoods.

The facade of the School of Arts and Sciences at Ahmedabad University demonstrates our approach to climate-responsive design. The integration of terracotta louvers, extensive glazing, and verdant rooftop gardens creates a building that breathes, connecting the interior learning environments with the natural landscape.7
We design libraries as sanctuaries for knowledge and quiet contemplation. At the Lilavati Lalbhai Library at CEPT University, floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelves create a warm, immersive environment, with carefully planned sightlines that draw the eye through the multi-level, subterranean space.
Our designs foster moments of spontaneous interaction and repose. Here, the sunken courtyard of the Kasturbhai Lalbhai Museum in Ahmedabad becomes an informal amphitheater, where the interplay of light, shadow, and landscape creates a dynamic social space.
The experience of art is shaped by its environment. In the Vismaya private museum, we manipulated form and light to create dramatic, atmospheric galleries, using focused illumination and dark, monolithic partitions to highlight individual artifacts and guide the visitor's journey.
