Featured Architectural Projects
A selected collection of our work, where architecture and art merge to create meaningful spaces that respond to their surroundings.
This home in Coonoor is a dialogue between the built and the unbuilt. The black and white stills capture the quiet moments architecture strives for, where light, shadow, and form create a space for life to unfold. It embodies my belief in creating living spaces that are both serene and full of intention.
This video shows the transformation of an 80s structure in Bengaluru into a modern, sustainable workplace. It demonstrates my commitment to adaptive reuse, breathing new life into existing buildings to meet the demands of a changing world while retaining the soul of the original structure.
Art is not an afterthought; it is integral to the spaces I design. This view from the Museum of Art & Photography (MAP) in Bangalore shows how architecture can create a stage for art, with sculptures by Stephen Cox finding their place within the building's flow and light.
This is my Amma’s home, a place layered with memories since 1995. The garden patio is a testament to how care, time, and nature can gracefully age together, creating an intimate beauty that is deeply personal and cherished. It is the kind of comfort and history I aim to bring to every home I design.
Design can be a powerful tool for social good. The 'Wonder on Wheels' project transformed a bus into a mobile Anganwadi classroom, taking learning and nutrition to children in Indian villages. This is an example of adaptive, community-focused design that makes a tangible difference.
The process begins with the hand. This is a glimpse into my personal practice of zinc plate etching, where architectural ideas are explored through drawing and craft. Every line and form is a step in the journey from a simple sketch to a fully realized space.
The Umbrella House by Kazuo Shinohara is a masterclass in Japanese residential architecture. Its use of simple, honest materials and the creation of serene, multi-functional spaces deeply resonates with my own design principles. It is a constant source of inspiration for creating minimalist yet warm interiors.
About this collection
Every project we undertake begins with a sketchbook and a conversation. We analyze the circulation of people and the intensity of natural light before drawing a single wall, ensuring that the structure responds to the rhythm of your daily life rather than imposing a static form upon it.
Our work spans from private residences in the Nilgiris to public institutions like the Museum of Art and Photography in Bengaluru. We do not believe in a singular style, but rather in a method of building that honors the context, whether that is a new home or a structure being adapted for modern use.
We prioritize the reuse of buildings, believing that the most sustainable structure is the one that already exists. By working with the bones of older spaces, we find new ways to introduce light and transparency. When we design a home, we treat it as a gallery for your life, planning for the way you move through the rooms and how you display your personal stories. For our public projects, we focus on social impact, such as our work transforming buses into mobile classrooms to address community needs.
Material honesty is central to our practice. We prefer exposed concrete, wood, and stone because they age gracefully and retain a tactile quality. We collaborate with fabricators and traditional craftspeople to create custom door handles, lighting, and furniture that fit the specific scale of your building. This process of drawing, modeling, and refining ensures that your finished space is not just a layout, but a reflection of a thoughtful, collaborative effort.
