Signature Architectural Projects

The Vihara has risen. This institute for religious learning in Mumbai reinterprets our history, with a facade that becomes a journey. It is a metaphor for finding one's own path from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge.

In our Koba House project, we designed big white spaces to frame expansive views and make light the showstopper. Here, an olive tree becomes the living heart of the home, rooted in a pool of black water under an open sky.

Sarvasva, our vertical home in Bombay, is wrapped in a terracotta skin. The principal facade is a jagged eye, sculpted to capture the best city vistas and suspend green terraces in the air. The pool on top feels like diving into the sky.

This handcrafted model shows a site specific insertion. We build these from wood and aged brass to feel the project with our hands. It is an exploration of how a building can be powerful yet sympathetic, strong yet soft, where art and soul intertwine.

For our Ikebana apartment project, the experience center is a study in contrasts. Black water and white surfaces create a sense of deep peace, an elemental Zen that is relevant to the ethos of the entire building.

The Black Bastian house is built around a green courtyard that welcomes peacocks and frames the sun and moon. The home straddles a lofty living space with a suspended bridge, all constructed from noble materials like dark granite and salvaged teak.

Sense of place is a key ingredient. Nestled within a grove in Alibaug, this villa embraces the trees it occupies, delivering an alfresco living space under the natural canopy where life is lived out of doors.
