Architectural Design

I don’t believe in just building structures; I’m all about those in-between spaces where you actually live, chill, and connect. My designs always try to blur the line between inside and outside - think big glass openings, courtyards, and verandahs that actually make the garden part of your home or office.

Design Principles

• Spaces aren’t just boxes - I use light and shadow as if they’re materials too. The angles, the sun, the way a shadow moves across a wall during the day... all that shapes the feel of a place.
• I’m big on raw, honest stuff. You’ll see exposed brick, concrete, steel, and wood in my work - I like when you can see and feel what something’s really made of. Sometimes, an unfinished look gives a space more soul, like a ruin that’s still alive.
• Nature isn’t just something outside the window. I go for climate-responsive architecture, making sure buildings breathe, stay cool, and let the landscape weave through. Sustainability isn’t a buzzword for me - it’s just common sense.

How This Plays Out

• In homes, I prefer clusters of pavilions, open plans, and double-height volumes that feel both grand and kinda cozy. Sometimes local crafts sneak in, like Chikankari patterns in wood screens.
• Offices, restaurants, schools - every project is about function and vibe. From adjustable facades for better light control, to classrooms that spill into outdoor courts, it’s all about indoor-outdoor flow and natural light integration.

Every design is a back-and-forth - your ideas, the site, the materials, and a lot of trial and error till it just feels right.
