At SpAArC, architecture is not just construction—it is an extension of art. Here is a look into our studio, where paintings, structural experiments, and design blueprints come together.

This video gives a brief introduction to my design philosophy at SpAArC (Space Art & Architecture Collective), where we see architecture as an expression of values and a way to translate dreams into reality.

My studio is a place of inspiration. The wooden cabin exterior, surrounded by plants and even incorporating a dead tree into its structure, reflects my belief in blending the built with the natural.

Another view of the studio, looking up at the wooden cabin through the white metal staircase. It's a creative space designed to fuel creative work.

Inside the studio, a bohemian and eclectic style prevails. A gallery wall of my architectural sketches and art is displayed above a vintage Murphy radio and a rotary-style telephone.

This wooden display cabinet from The Attic adds immense character to the office. It's filled with books, magazines, and natural curiosities that spark ideas.

My art is a huge part of my process. This is a surrealist oil painting titled 'Sapling' in progress on the easel in my studio.

Another commissioned painting, 'Dewdrops', in its early stages. The process of layering paint and building form on canvas often informs my architectural thinking.

About The Artistic Process & Studio Life

You won't find a sterile office here. Our studio is a wooden cabin we built ourselves, filled with works-in-progress, from oil paintings to structural brick vault tests. We believe that if you see the mess and the process, you understand the architecture better. It is why I invite clients to sketch and argue with me—it is how we ensure your home is built on shared ideas, not just a set of drawings.

I am Tejesh, and for me, designing a home is as personal as painting a canvas. At SpAArC, we move between sketching blueprints and layering oils, often in the same afternoon. We are looking for people who want to be part of the build, not just spectators.

A moment of reflection. I believe that good design comes from being connected to our environment, and I often find my best ideas when I am surrounded by nature.
