Civic Architecture and Institutional Design

Our design for the Telangana High Court places the building within a lush, park-like setting. This creates a space that feels dignified without being intimidating, where lawyers, judges, and the public can interact in a calm and contemplative environment.

This perspective of the Telangana High Court shows the main courtyard, designed as a green lung for the complex. The architecture provides a monumental frame, but the human-scaled landscape with its trees and pathways makes the space feel open and accessible.

The grand colonnade of the Telangana High Court creates a powerful sense of entry while providing shaded walkways. The design balances classical monumentality with modern minimalism, referencing traditional arched forms in a contemporary stone facade.

For the Mada Streets at the Tirumala Temple, one of India's holiest sites, our design process is shown through these diagrams. We mapped out how to organize the circumambulatory path and surrounding infrastructure to accommodate large crowds and sacred rituals in a functional and respectful manner.

This physical model of the Telangana High Court site shows our master planning approach. We carefully studied the topography and existing features, using the model to test how the building volumes, residential zones, and water bodies would interact to create a cohesive and harmonious campus.

This rendering of the Telangana High Court emphasizes the connection between the building and the landscape. The foreground deck and water feature create a serene public space, while the transparent ground floor invites the public in, reflecting the values of democracy and justice.

The interior of our Telangana High Court proposal was designed to be efficient, orderly, and filled with natural light. The coffered ceiling and clean lines create a sense of dignity, while the clear signage and open layout ensure the space is easy to navigate for the public.
