Our Studio, Team & Recognition
Architecture is a human story. Go behind the scenes at our studio to meet the people and the passions that shape every project we undertake in Delhi.
The designers may stay the same, but the design never does. This video shows my team and highlights our philosophy that every facade should respond to its unique context, resulting in modern architecture that is never repetitive.
Some quiet moments at the studio. It’s in these peaceful times, between the flow of ideas, that the creative magic happens. This is a glimpse into the calm and inspiring environment where our designs come to life.

It was an absolute honor to receive this award at the Darc Build official event. Being recognized by my peers is a meaningful reminder of the strength and resilience of our design community.
I was proud to be a panelist at Darc Build, discussing the challenges and importance of breaking stereotypes for women in the architecture and interiors industry. These conversations are essential for inspiring change.

A proud moment for my studio as our project, Plumeria House, won the Kudos Award at the Index Plus Fair. Having our work celebrated on a platform that champions thoughtful design is an honor we hold close.

About Our Studio, Team & Recognition
Great architecture is not born in isolation. It emerges from a collective, iterative process. In our studio, we spend days layering materials and refining structural details to ensure that every farmhouse or villa we design responds to its specific site, light, and context before a single brick is laid.
Our studio is built on the belief that a home is more than a structure. It is a dialogue between the occupants, the land, and the light. We approach every project from a blank canvas, mapping out how the sun moves across your plot and preserving the existing trees on your property, rather than forcing a standard template onto a unique site.
The Process of Design
When you work with us, you are engaging with a process that values patience. We are hands-on from the initial site analysis and structural documentation to the final material selection. Whether we are planning a double-height volume to capture the sky or integrating modern facade elements with traditional stone cladding, our aim is to solve technical challenges in ways that enhance the user experience. We collaborate closely with engineers and artisans to bring complex features like cantilevered staircases and floating walls to life, ensuring that technical rigor meets aesthetic clarity.
Recognition and Perspectives
Our commitment to thoughtful design has been reflected in recent milestones, such as winning the Kudos Award for our Plumeria House project. This recognition serves as a reminder that meaningful architecture resonates when it is done with care. Furthermore, our participation in industry platforms like D'Arc Build has allowed us to share our perspective as a woman-led studio in Delhi. These panel discussions are vital for us, as they provide a space to talk about the real challenges of navigating the architecture and interiors industry, breaking stereotypes, and building a practice that focuses on local context and sustainable practice. We believe in building homes that do not just occupy space but contribute to the narrative of the city and its surroundings.
