Heritage Conservation and Adaptive Reuse Architecture

The power of restoration is in the reveal. This before-and-after of the Verdun House in Mussoorie, part of our pro-bono Restoration Clinic, shows how we can revive a dilapidated colonial bungalow, restoring its original wooden windows and ceilings to bring back warmth and light.

We transformed this 19th-century haveli in Old Delhi into a contemporary home, proving that heritage spaces can be adapted for modern luxury. The restored black and white marble flooring, grand chandelier, and carefully curated furniture create a living space that is both historic and elegant.

The skeleton of a building tells its story. Here at Parker Hall, we are inserting a new, complex steel structure to support a modern performance venue within the original heritage walls. This kind of retrofit design requires a deep understanding of both engineering and conservation principles.

A 21st-century science lab inside a 19th-century building. This project at Woodstock School demonstrates how we seamlessly integrate modern technology, like advanced ventilation and flexible lab stations, into historic architecture without compromising the building's character.

I believe an architect's role is that of a facilitator, a matchmaker who connects people, places, and possibilities. This is me in my element, whether on-site inspecting details or sharing my knowledge to empower communities to save their own heritage.

The soul of a building is in its details. We painstakingly preserve and restore original features like these beautiful geometric floor tiles in a classic Delhi house. This commitment to craftsmanship ensures the building's story and character endure.

Placemaking is about creating spaces that matter to people. We reimagined this disused outdoor area at Woodstock School, using upcycled wood and local stone to create a community hub and open-air classroom that demonstrates our commitment to circularity and co-creation.

This Art Deco palatial house showcases our work on period-specific architecture. The challenge is to make sensitive interventions that respect the definitive style of the building, from its grand facade to the intricate patterns of its original terrazzo flooring.

Our work is not just about aesthetics; it's about setting a standard for responsible conservation. This Honourable Mention from the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for our restoration of The Doon School's main building is a recognition of our commitment to quality and heritage-led design.
