Our focus lies in creating porous, climate-responsive structures where the landscape flows into your living space. ## Photos and videos - ![This is the Artist Residency at Farm8 in New Delhi, seen at dusk. The design uses a bamboo exoskeleton to create a series of 'in-between' spaces, allowing the building to breathe and the landscape to flow through. The structure becomes a lantern in the garden, blurring the line between a building and its natural surroundings.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/34c5346d-e86b-4db5-b21b-20b1aecf0cf2) - ![A design rendering for Residence B in South Extension, Delhi. This project explores the idea of a modern courtyard by stacking contrasting volumes. I juxtapose heavy, solid forms with transparent, lightweight glass structures to create a dynamic play of enclosed and open spaces that are interconnected.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/308f32dc-b3b1-4a6a-9c78-66da1fd0c2d6) - ![This is the Studio Tarai project in Rudrapur during construction. I find a profound beauty in the rawness of an incomplete building, much like a ruin. The exposed brick screens, standing as pure volumes, hold a sense of possibility and raw emotion before they are defined by their final function.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e5ca21a4-5956-4dda-b91c-1f49a23916c6) - ![A conceptual view from inside Residence C in New Delhi. The design frames the garden as a living part of the home. Large glass walls and openings in the roof create 'islands of light' and dissolve the barriers between the interior living area and the lush courtyard, making nature an ever-present element of daily life.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f0942db5-e815-4753-8831-d110c9e93d65) - ![A rendering of a kindergarten in Lucknow where architecture encourages interaction. By creating floating and shifting classroom volumes, I designed a series of interconnected open courts and play areas. This diversity of 'in-between' spaces is meant to spark curiosity, exploration, and learning through exchange.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2baa683c-2c86-4ce5-98f5-b0a5ba1abbd4) - ![An exploration of light and shadow at Studio Tarai in Rudrapur. Here, the architecture itself becomes a tool to manipulate light. The slatted steel screens and perforated roof cast intricate, moving patterns on the floor, demonstrating how intangible elements like sunlight can be used as powerful materials to define a space.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/08cd0508-6f8b-4803-9dc9-51a21baca38f) - ![Nearing completion, this pavilion house floats above its garden landscape. The design emphasizes transparency and porosity, with a handcrafted metal skin that responds to the changing light. The goal is to create a quiet, powerful experience of living within nature, not just next to it.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b491c733-5c55-4e7f-8770-bed6ea57d960) - ![This is a design for a restaurant on the highway to Benaras. The architecture reinterprets traditional materials, with terracotta roof tiles flowing down to become sculptural wall screens. It's a modern take on vernacular design, rooted in material honesty while creating a unique, monolithic form.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e35766e7-744d-4047-b1d9-0adbc0e5fea6) - ![An interior view of a workspace in Green Park, New Delhi, showing the effect of the adjustable louver system. This 'plug-in' facade allows users to control the amount of natural light, with integrated planters that bring greenery directly into the window frame. It's a functional system that connects the office interior to the outside environment.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ce0e38e6-57a5-4578-8fce-31101832e6fb) - ![A moment captured in my studio, where a sliver of intense, yellow light from a skylight cuts through the dark interior. This image embodies my fascination with light as a primary architectural material. The way it interacts with texture and color can transform a simple space into a profound experience.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/38f94191-7436-452a-ac08-c8e6f0bdca62) ## About Featured Our design process is iterative and highly collaborative, often beginning with an analysis of the site's unique light and wind patterns. Whether we are planning a farmhouse or a workspace, we prioritize open, modular plans. Expect a journey where we experiment with raw materials like exposed brick and steel until the layout feels like a natural extension of the landscape, not an intrusion. Architecture is more than just defined square footage. At Studio Array, we prioritize the in-between spaces—the verandahs, courtyards, and light-filled nooks where life actually unfolds. Our philosophy relies on material honesty. We use raw exposed brick, weathered steel, and treated bamboo because they possess a tactile soul that polished finishes lack. For our residential projects in Delhi NCR and Lucknow, we emphasize porosity. We do not build static boxes. We build pavilions that blur boundaries. By using large glass openings, adjustable louvers, and double-height volumes, we ensure your home breathes with the climate rather than fighting it. This climate-responsive approach often means lower reliance on mechanical cooling and a constant connection to your surroundings. We also specialize in modular frameworks. For smaller footprints, we utilize knockdown steel systems that allow for both precision and flexibility. Every project involves extensive site analysis—studying sun paths and wind direction—so the final design feels grounded in its environment. View our design process as a back-and-forth dialogue; we provide the structural integration and material expertise, while you bring the vision for how you want to inhabit the space. ## About Studio Array We are Studio Array. Spaces speak to us through sunlight, the texture of a wall, or the way a breeze moves through a room. We design homes and workspaces that do not just hold you, but actively connect you to the outdoors.
