Featured Architectural Projects and Design Philosophy

Here you can see the journey of an 80s-era building in Bengaluru being recovered and reimagined for the information age. This adaptive reuse project transforms a dated structure into a transparent, flexible, and sustainable workplace, proving that the most sustainable building is often the one that already stands.

The Museum of Art & Photography (MAP) in Bengaluru, seen here at dusk, was a project in creating a cultural hub for the community. The building's facade, inspired by the concept of a water-tank or 'kund', is designed to be a responsive skin that connects the art within to the city outside.

This is my Amma’s home, the first project of our practice and a constant source of inspiration. It is a testament to my belief that a home should be a place of care, layered with memories, where nature and architecture gracefully age together over time.

My process always begins with enquiry, often through hand-drawn architectural sketches like this one. This drawing, from a visit to Le Corbusier's Chandigarh, is a study of form and space, a dialogue with a master that informs my own thinking.

From a concept to a tangible form, physical models are a critical part of my design process. They allow me to test ideas, understand the play of light, and feel the spatial relationships in a way that digital tools cannot replicate.

Art is not an afterthought; it is integral to the architectural experience. This sculpture by Arik Levy, standing in the atrium of the MAP museum, is a focal point that engages visitors and creates a dynamic dialogue with the surrounding space.

A cherished moment sharing my work with the late master architect, B.V. Doshi. His wisdom and perspective were a constant source of learning, and dialogues like these are fundamental to the evolution of my practice.
