Public buildings should be as sustainable as they are functional. I focus on creating campuses that serve the community for generations, using honest materials and passive design to reduce long-term maintenance.

The full campus view of the Institute for Studies in Industrial Development (ISID) in New Delhi. The design connects multiple buildings with open spaces, creating a collaborative environment. The use of exposed brick and stone is a core part of my philosophy for sustainable, low-maintenance public buildings.

This is the frontal view from a rendering for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) in Goa. The design aims for a professional and modern look, with clean lines, large glass panels for natural light, and a prominent institutional emblem.

About Designing for Learning & Governance

Institutional buildings are long-term commitments. Whether you are planning a university campus or a government office, I avoid trendy finishes that degrade quickly. Instead, I focus on passive cooling and durable materials like exposed brick and stone to keep your maintenance costs low and thermal comfort high for decades.
