Architecture, to us, is a process of discovery. We believe in getting our hands dirty—from building physical models to testing brick patterns on-site—to create spaces that feel calm, natural, and inherently human.

This is our studio, bathed in morning sun. We designed our own workspace to be a living example of our principles, where the interplay of light, wood, and surrounding greenery creates a calm and inspiring environment for creativity.

A quiet corner in an office we designed, demonstrating the power of chiaroscuro. We used a palette of dark, textured panels and leather, allowing natural light to carve out the space and highlight the artwork, creating a sophisticated and focused atmosphere.

A compact workspace designed for a journalist, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass and warm OSB wood panels. The design maximizes natural light and connects the interior to an outdoor terrace, making a small space feel open and integrated with nature.

An intricate acrylic architectural model for a residential project. We build detailed physical models like this to understand and test the complex interplay of spaces, levels, and light, ensuring the final design feels right before the first brick is laid.

Experimenting with brickwork on-site to create a pixelated, textured facade. This hands-on process of laying out materials allows us to perfect the pattern and rhythm, ensuring the final wall is a work of true craftsmanship.

A custom door handle created by interlocking plates of brass and stainless steel. We believe details are paramount, and we often design our own hardware to ensure every element of a space is cohesive and thoughtfully considered.

The lush green courtyard at the heart of our studio. Integrating nature is fundamental to our work, using plants and natural elements to create living, breathing spaces that soothe and energize.

About Featured

You will not find us relying solely on digital screens. We spend our early design phases constructing physical models and testing full-scale material mockups on-site because that is the only way to truly understand how light and scale interact. Whether it is interlocking custom door hardware or perfecting a brick facade, we believe these small, hands-on choices define the soul of a finished space.

This residence in Punjabi Bagh, Delhi, showcases our approach to modern luxury. The design uses glass boxes and pergola-like screens to create a porous facade, blurring the lines between the lush exterior landscape and the interior living spaces, especially when illuminated at night.9
We designed this double-height foyer as a grand welcome. The space is defined by book-matched marble walls and a magnificent crystal chandelier, establishing a narrative of timeless grandeur and neoclassical elegance from the moment you step inside.
In this living room, we integrated the fireplace with a continuous expanse of white Ondulutu stone, creating a seamless and monumental feature wall.

This bathroom is my idea of a personal sanctuary. I used a custom-shaped, backlit mirror to create a soft glow against the lime-washed walls, which have a beautiful, chalky texture. The sink is carved from a single piece of natural stone, making it a functional sculpture. It’s a perfect example of my spa-style bathroom renovation work, where I bring in organic forms and earthy materials to create a sense of calm.7
I designed this Zen-inspired dining area to be a space for connection and tranquility. The centerpiece is a live-edge wooden table, preserving the natural form of the tree. To create a unique, intimate setting, I designed a suspended bench that feels like a modern swing, encouraging a playful yet peaceful dining experience. The slatted wood ceiling with integrated lighting adds warmth and architectural rhythm.
This bedroom is a retreat from the world, wrapped in the warmth of lime-washed walls and soft, ambient light. I designed a custom bas-relief art piece above the bed that interacts with the hidden lighting, creating subtle shadows and depth. The space is intentionally minimalist, using a neutral color palette and natural textures like the marble floor and soft textiles to promote rest and serenity.
This seating nook is from a project where I wanted to create a cave-like sense of enclosure and peace. The arched alcoves, finished with a hand-applied textured plaster, are lit from within to create a warm, inviting glow. The low seating and woven pendant lights are inspired by Japandi design principles, focusing on simplicity, natural materials, and creating a space that encourages quiet conversation.

This intricately carved wooden doorway at the Varadarajan House in Coorg serves as a threshold between the outer world and a serene inner sanctuary. Framed by earthy laterite stone, it is an example of how we honor traditional craftsmanship, creating an entrance that feels both grand and deeply personal.7
In the living room of the Dream Coffee Estate, a reclaimed antique wooden column stands as a silent witness to time, grounding the double-height space. We designed this room to be a conversation between old and new, where hand-chiseled stone floors and modern furnishings coexist under the expansive canopy of the Coorg forest visible through large glass doors.
For this Delhi residence, we introduced a traditional wooden swing into a contemporary living space defined by cool grey lime-plastered walls and polished marble floors. This adaptive reuse project focuses on creating a harmonious balance, where modern minimalism is softened by familiar, tactile elements that evoke a sense of calm and playfulness.
