Featured Architectural Design Portfolio
A curated collection of our work, spanning intricate Mughal-era haveli restoration and modern, high-performance office design.
This is Haveli Dharampura, a 19th-century Mughal-era gem I had the privilege of restoring. Once a crumbling structure in Old Delhi, it has been brought back to life as a stunning boutique hotel, earning recognition from NDTV Travel and UNESCO for its blend of old-world charm and modern luxury.
For the AMG Real Estate Office, I transformed a challenging basement space into a dramatic, modern lobby. The design uses an open-plan layout and a striking staircase to create a sense of openness and aesthetic harmony, setting a sophisticated tone from the moment of entry.
This shows the profound journey of Haveli Dharampura, from a near-ruin to a fully restored architectural landmark. This transformation, which took over six years, is a testament to my belief in reviving our past for a vibrant future.

My design process always begins with a hand-drawn sketch. This video shows the conceptual journey of the MD's cabin at the AMG office, from the initial drawing to the final, fully realized space, highlighting how a simple idea evolves into a tangible structure.
I am honored to be featured on the cover of Surfaces Reporter magazine as one of India's "Design Trailblazers." This recognition reflects my team's unwavering passion and our shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of architectural design and conservation.

This is the breakout space in my own studio, Spaces Architects.KA. I designed it as a refreshing, informal area to foster creativity and collaboration, reflecting my philosophy that a workspace should be as inspiring as it is functional.
About Featured
We believe architecture is a spatial story, whether we are reviving a centuries-old haveli in Old Delhi or engineering a dynamic workspace in a challenging basement. Our approach begins with hand-sketched concepts, ensuring that material integrity and spatial fluidity remain at the core of every project, regardless of its scale.
Our practice at Spaces Architects.KA is defined by the interplay between the past and the present. We do not view architecture as a static object but as an evolving narrative. This selection of featured work showcases that breadth: from the meticulous heritage conservation of Haveli Dharampura, where we restored traditional jaalis and Lakhori brickwork, to the contemporary design of the AMG Real Estate office, where we transformed a cramped basement into a light-filled, open-plan environment.
The Sketch-First Philosophy
Every design we execute follows a rigorous process. We intentionally avoid digital screens in the early stages, relying instead on hand-sketched concepts to test proportions and spatial connectivity. This method allows us to ground our projects in human intuition before technical modeling begins. By working closely with local artisans for restoration and utilizing custom joinery for modern interiors, we ensure that every space feels intentional.
Our Expertise
- Heritage Conservation: We specialize in adaptive reuse, breathing new life into historical structures while integrating modern HVAC and electrical systems invisibly.
- Commercial Innovation: Our office designs focus on maximizing well-being, using bespoke sculptural furniture and strategic lighting to define collaborative zones.
- Material Sensitivity: Whether working with Italian marble or traditional lime plaster, our material palette is chosen to enhance the 'soul' of the space.
We invite you to examine these projects not just as finished buildings, but as the result of a deliberate process where craft, curiosity, and client vision meet.
