The Elephant Pavilion: Architecture for Wildlife
This project in Pollachi was an exercise in deep listening to the land and its non-human inhabitants. We designed a low-impact structure within an active elephant corridor, using local rammed earth and timber to create a space for conservation and observation that feels like a natural extension of the forest itself.
Madam Narangi: Empowering Urban Commerce
In Ahmedabad, we reimagined the street cart ('lari') to create a tool for economic empowerment for women vendors. The 'Madam Narangi' is a mobile, modular system that is highly functional for a single user, can aggregate to form community markets, and is designed to be upcycled, extending its life and value.
Our Process: From Sketch to Structure
We believe in a hands-on design process where ideas are tested and refined through physical making. This collection shows our studio's commitment to architectural model making and experimentation, which allows us to explore form, material, and human scale before a single brick is laid.
Life at the Studio
Our studio is a place of collaboration, mentorship, and shared passion. These moments capture the energy of our team, from daily brainstorming sessions and site visits to celebrating milestones together. We believe a supportive culture is the foundation of great design.
In the Press: Recognition and Features
We are grateful for the platforms that share our stories and design philosophy. This is a collection of our features in publications and the recognition our work has received from the design community, which fuels our commitment to innovation.
