We are a craft-led architectural practice specializing in high-end residences, bespoke interiors, and heritage restoration. Our work blends contemporary design with meticulous detailing to create spatial stories that give each project a unique soul and character.

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.

A guest suite in the Golden Haveli, our second major restoration project in Chandni Chowk. The design connects the room to the central courtyard, blending traditional Mughal architectural details with the comforts of a modern boutique hotel, a project recognized by The Merit List.

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.

This view of Haveli Dharampura captures the soul of my work. We revived this 19th-century structure, blending Rajasthani and Jain architectural styles to create a space that honors its past while embracing a new purpose.

In this suite at the Golden Haveli, every detail is designed to connect the present with the past. The arched doorways open to the central courtyard, creating a seamless flow of space and light, a hallmark of traditional haveli architecture.

The Lakhori Restaurant at Haveli Dharampura is a prime example of adaptive reuse. We preserved the original lakhori brickwork and arched vaults to create an atmospheric dining space that has been recognized by Outlook Traveller as one of Delhi's best.

My current endeavor is the transformation of the historic Lahori Gate Haveli into a museum. This project represents a vital step in urban cultural revival, creating a space to tell the story of Chandni Chowk's rich heritage.

It was an honor to have Dr. S. Jaishankar, the External Affairs Minister of India, inaugurate our restored Golden Haveli project. His presence underscores the cultural significance of preserving our nation's architectural heritage.

I was honored to be featured on the cover of Surfaces Reporter magazine alongside other design trailblazers. Sharing the story of my first projects was a moment of reflection on the journey of perseverance and passion that defines my practice.

This dusk view of the Ashraya Residence captures the dynamic interplay of cantilevered forms, warm lighting, and natural materials. My design philosophy is embodied here, creating a modern structure that feels both monumental and intimately connected to its surroundings.

The heart of the Ashraya Residence is this double-height courtyard, where a 28-foot painting of Lord Krishna becomes a spiritual and visual anchor. The space is a modern interpretation of the traditional Indian 'aangan', filled with light, art, and life.

The façade of the House of Dancing Screens features these kinetic terracotta jaalis. More than just an aesthetic element, these screens pivot to control light and privacy, allowing the home to breathe and respond to the environment and the family's needs.

In the Gupta Residence, I integrated this tranquil indoor waterbody beneath a floating wooden staircase. This feature brings a sense of calm and nature into the core of the home, combining natural elements with contemporary architectural sophistication.

The Slender House, built on a challenging 13-foot-wide plot in Delhi, showcases my approach to compact urban living. The façade's soft curves and material textures create a unique identity, proving that thoughtful design can create expansive experiences within tight constraints.

The Sachdeva Farmhouse is designed as a luxurious retreat, organized around a central pool. The double-height glazed façade reflects the glowing interiors at twilight, blurring the lines between the architecture and the surrounding landscape to create a resort-like sanctuary.

This bathroom in the House of Dancing Screens is a study in modern glamour. The freestanding bathtub, dramatic chandelier, and interplay of black marble and brass detailing create a personal spa that is both luxurious and deeply personal.

My Story

My first project? Not some fancy building, just a chair. And let me tell you, that chair taught me more than any textbook. Proportion, materials, how design hits you in the gut. From there, I went from making furniture to shaping entire farmhouses. We’re all about craft and curiosity here. Restoring places like Haveli Dharampura isn’t just work, it’s saving stories. I drag our young architects on heritage walks—history isn’t in books, it’s in the bricks. That’s our thing: spaces that feel alive.
