A selection of our work where computation meets traditional craftsmanship. These projects reflect our philosophy of tropical modernism, blending built forms seamlessly into the natural terrain.

This is our vision for Pavilions in the Fields, a series of homes designed as perforated structures set within an infinite landscape. We juxtaposed solid stone volumes with porous screens to create a contrasting architecture of solidity and transparency, inhabiting the space between earth and sky.

For the Sun House, we asked if a house could have emotions. The double-height living space, with its dramatic brick walls and sunken amphitheater seating, is our answer. It is a space designed to be powerful in its moods and imaginative in its form.

The House of Veils is a study in creating soft, secret spaces on a compact plot. The design progressively unveils itself, with flowing walls and large overhangs that open onto a serene pool deck, seamlessly blending the social spaces with tropical greens.

In our Moira homes, private spaces like this bathroom become sanctuaries. We use flowing curves, soft light filtered through inner courtyards, and a direct connection to lush greenery to create a feeling of warm serenity and tropical escape.

The Nest is our exploration of creating a world within an urban grid. We used soft, curved concrete fins to create recessed vertical gardens and private courtyards, providing shade and passive cooling while sculpting a unique, organic facade.

We believe brick is more than just a building material; it is a medium for light and shadow. This detail from our Kolgaon Masterplan shows how a perforated brick screen can transform a simple wall into a dynamic surface that breathes and changes with the sun.

The House of Basho is a retreat home designed to exude a sense of calm and earthy charm. This walkthrough shows how we create spaces for slow living, where sunken living areas and warm textures encourage quiet moments and a deep connection to the outdoors.

Our process always begins with drawing, where we translate poetic ideas into physical forms. This illustration for an Alibaug home questions if a drawing can be a painting, capturing the life of the home from the morning blues to the evening gold.

Inspired by a sloping mountain site overlooking the sea, our Dona Paula Masterplan features a string of tropical roofs that twist and fly out of the terrain. The shifting volumes and cantilevered pools create a dynamic form that feels both modern and rooted in the landscape.

For Apartment 56 in South Mumbai, we aimed to merge art and interiors into a gallery-like living space. The design focuses on horizontality and expansiveness, with fluid forms and a reflective pool creating a seamless, experiential atmosphere that connects to nature.

About Featured

Our design process begins with the land, not the drawing board. Whether working with a sloping site in Goa or a compact urban plot in Mumbai, we treat every project as a unique narrative. By integrating computational tools with traditional craftsmanship, we ensure that every structure is as responsive to its climate as it is poetic in its form.
