Explore our signature projects, where heritage meets modern architecture. We design spaces that breathe, rooted in Indian culture and climate-conscious innovation.

The Lotus Cafe at the Dasavatara Hotel in Tirupati, where the modern, angular roof reflects on the water at dusk, creating a dialogue between the structure and its environment.

The serene poolside of our hotel project in Bodhgaya, designed as a tranquil sanctuary that encourages reflection. The architecture harmonizes with the water, creating a seamless experience of peace.

A corridor in the Bodhgaya hotel, where the architecture plays with light and shadow. The carefully placed openings create a rhythmic pattern, turning a simple passage into a meditative journey.

The Ayushakti Health Resort in Mumbai, an urban oasis where we used traditional elements and biophilic design to create a healing atmosphere amidst the city's density.

A glimpse into the making of the custom Dhokra door handles for the Dasavatara Hotel. This showcases our commitment to integrating traditional Indian crafts and collaborating with artisans to create unique details.

A concept for a climate-responsive facade, featuring staggered balconies and vertical louvers. This design provides passive cooling by shading the interiors from harsh sun, an example of our sustainable approach.

The expansive banquet hall at the Bodhgaya hotel, featuring a vaulted terracotta ceiling and custom chandeliers. The design creates a space that is both grand for events and warm for intimate gatherings.

Our hands-on process on site, where we collaborate closely with masons and craftsmen to ensure every detail, like the texture and tone of a stone wall, is executed with precision and artistry.

The words of our clients are a testament to the journey we take together. This feedback highlights our work in creating thematic and spiritual hospitality that inspires reflection and awe.

About Featured

We treat our architecture as a living organism, not just a static structure. When we approach a project, we start at the source, visiting quarries to hand-select the stone's color and tone, and then working side-by-side with local masons to ensure the texture feels intentional rather than manufactured.

This intricately carved wooden doorway at the Varadarajan House in Coorg serves as a threshold between the outer world and a serene inner sanctuary. Framed by earthy laterite stone, it is an example of how we honor traditional craftsmanship, creating an entrance that feels both grand and deeply personal.7
In the living room of the Dream Coffee Estate, a reclaimed antique wooden column stands as a silent witness to time, grounding the double-height space. We designed this room to be a conversation between old and new, where hand-chiseled stone floors and modern furnishings coexist under the expansive canopy of the Coorg forest visible through large glass doors.
For this Delhi residence, we introduced a traditional wooden swing into a contemporary living space defined by cool grey lime-plastered walls and polished marble floors. This adaptive reuse project focuses on creating a harmonious balance, where modern minimalism is softened by familiar, tactile elements that evoke a sense of calm and playfulness.

We designed this bar at Masala, New Delhi, to be an immersive experience. The vibrant red, custom star lights, and spherical pendants create a warm, celebratory atmosphere where every detail contributes to the narrative of the space.8
For the Elephant Pavilion in Pollachi, we designed a structure that works with the landscape, not against it. The building sits low, following the natural contours and preserving existing trees, creating a space for low-impact tourism that respects the surrounding wildlife corridor.
In this fashion studio, we translated the brand's identity into a physical space. The interplay of soft pinks, geometric floors, and custom furniture creates a narrative environment that is both a functional retail area and a living embodiment of the brand's story.
For The Blooming Garden project, we layered blush-toned florals, heritage prints, and refurbished furniture to create a dining room that feels like a memory. It's a space that mixes prints with assurance, where time slows down and stories are shared.

We believe a hotel lobby should be more than a waiting area; it should be an introduction to a destination. At the Soaltee Hotel in Kathmandu, we crafted an arrival experience where a sculptural wall echoing the Himalayas meets refined, contemporary design, giving guests a true sense of place from the moment they step inside.7
Our design for The Ritz Carlton in New Delhi merges modern luxury with India's rich architectural heritage. The facade incorporates contemporary versions of traditional 'jharokhas' and 'jaalis', creating a visually layered exterior that connects the building to its cultural roots while offering a dynamic play of light and shadow.
The smallest details often tell the biggest stories. For the Soaltee Hotel, we used bold, geometric floor patterns to guide guests and create subtle transitions between spaces. This reinterpretation of traditional Nepalese motifs in a modern palette of black and white marble with brass inlays is central to the lobby's narrative.
