Public architecture should not be a monument to ego. We design parks, research campuses, and community hubs that prioritize natural flow, honest materials, and the simple act of people coming together.

This is our competition entry for the new Telangana High Court, a project designed to be a timeless piece of architecture embodying justice and democracy. The design achieves monumentality through simplicity and honesty, with a deep focus on functionality and site harmony.

The interior of our Telangana High Court proposal features grand arched colonnades, creating a space that is both monumental and filled with light. The design segregates public and private zones while using natural materials to evoke a sense of timeless authority and calm.

Our design for the Amara Raja Energy & Mobility campus, a unique Net-Positive project for alternate energy research. The architecture seamlessly integrates with nature, featuring elevated walkways over water bodies to foster a spirit of innovation and sustainability.

The interiors for the 'ePositive' research center are designed to be honest, unpretentious, and functional. This view shows the raw, industrial aesthetic with exposed beams and simple graphic elements, creating a space that is airy, open, and timeless.

This conceptual video showcases 'Urban Oasis', a project that transforms an urban site into a public sanctuary. The design integrates minimalist architectural forms within a dense, man-made forest and water stream, creating a place for community and quiet reflection.

This clubhouse for a gated community in Hyderabad is conceived as an open-air oasis. A light steel structure and flexible spaces are oriented towards a shallow waterbody, creating a serene environment for recreation and social interaction.

About Community & Public Spaces

When we design public buildings, we refuse to build monuments to ego. Our design for the TSSP Convention Center is a clear example. We left the architectural framework neutral and honest. This is not about us imposing a style, but rather providing a robust, adaptable shell that lets the event, whether a wedding or a corporate gathering, take center stage without competing with the architecture.

**Nepean Greens, Mumbai:** We transformed a neglected space into a vibrant, stepped public plaza. The wide platforms, created from black granite with highlights of Jaisalmer stone, invite people to sit, gather, and connect, turning a simple staircase into a community hub.37
**Nepean Greens, Mumbai:** The plaza is nestled within a lush green environment, offering a tranquil escape in the heart of the city. The design integrates pathways and seating with existing trees and new plantings to create a harmonious public space.
**Nepean Greens, Mumbai:** Accessibility was a key consideration. We designed a continuous, gently sloping ramp alongside the steps to ensure the plaza is welcoming and usable for the elderly and people with disabilities, connecting two streets at different levels.
