Architectural Facade Design & Bungalow Refurbishment
We reimagine existing structures through contemporary design. Whether it is a full bungalow refurbishment or a facade overhaul, our focus remains on clean lines, climate-responsive planning, and lasting materiality.
This is the full street-view rendering for 'Project 42', a bungalow refurbishment in Mumbai. The design contrasts a dark, solid base with a lighter, articulated upper facade featuring wood screens, creating a distinct modern identity in a traditional neighborhood.

A closer view of the facade's upper levels. The interplay between the open balconies, geometric voids, and the warm texture of the wooden screens was designed to create visual interest while ensuring privacy and light for the residents.
This rendering highlights the entrance and ground level of 'Project 42'. The design focuses on creating a secure and welcoming entry, with materials and lighting chosen to complement the modern aesthetic of the overall structure.

About Architectural Vision: Facades & Refurbishments
In our refurbishment projects, we prioritize structural camouflage—using custom facade work to conceal existing beams and columns while introducing elements like wooden screens. This approach does not just update the aesthetic; it specifically balances privacy with natural light, ensuring the structure functions as well as it looks for your family.
Our Approach to Architectural Transformation
When we undertake a refurbishment or a facade redesign, we look beyond the surface. A project like 'Project 42' in Mumbai is a prime example of our process: we evaluate the building's structural bones to determine what can be salvaged and what needs a complete overhaul. Our goal is to bring modern functionality to older bungalows without erasing their original character.
Climate-Responsive Design
We analyze sun-path and wind orientation before drawing a single line. In Mumbai’s humid climate, this means designing facades that act as filters. We integrate louvers, geometric voids, and material choices that maximize ventilation and natural light, reducing the reliance on artificial cooling.
The Technical Process
Every project follows a rigorous three-phase system to ensure clarity and quality:
- Assessment & Demolition: We perform a detailed health audit of the existing structure. We plan the demolition and retrofitting layout carefully to avoid structural compromise.
- Design & Makeover: This is where we apply our signature style. We focus on 'structural camouflage,' using design elements like vaults, arches, or paneling to turn awkward structural features into intentional design statements.
- Implementation Support: We don't just hand over drawings. We provide on-site supervision and material selection guidance to ensure the final execution matches the photorealistic 3D renderings we develop during the conceptual phase.
Whether you are looking to revitalize a bungalow facade or completely redesign the internal volumes of a residence, we deliver a technical, detailed approach rooted in long-term durability.
