Integrating Architecture with Nature in Modern Homes

The Green Axis is a commercial workspace I designed to feel contemplative and calm. The core of the project is this linear corridor, which runs alongside a verdant courtyard, using natural light and framed views to connect the employees to nature throughout the day.

A seating area within The Green Axis office, where a floor-to-ceiling window frames a perfect view of the garden. The interior is kept minimal to allow the landscape to be the main focus, promoting a sense of tranquility and focus.

The central courtyard of Plumeria House, featuring a single plumeria tree rising from a calm water body. This space acts as the soul of the home, bringing light, air, and a sense of stillness deep into the layout.

A view of Triveni Farmhouse through a canopy of mature trees. I always aim to preserve the existing landscape, allowing the architecture to nestle into its surroundings rather than dominate them.

A balcony at Triveni Farmhouse that feels like a treehouse. A simple column supports the roof, which has a cutout for a skylight, while the view is filled with the lush canopy of surrounding trees.
