Featured Architectural Projects and Interior Design
Architecture is a conversation with the city, not a shout. From apartments overlooking the Mumbai sea to retreats in Alibag, our featured projects reveal our commitment to honest materials and context-driven design.
This is what we mean by framing a view. In this Mumbai apartment, the open-plan living space is designed to draw the eye outwards, making the Arabian Sea a permanent part of the home's decor. The design uses flexible partitions and a minimal aesthetic to ensure nothing distracts from the horizon.
The dining area at The Mango House in Alibag is the heart of the home. Here, exposed brick walls, a double-height ceiling with terracotta tiles, and a large wooden table create a space that is both grand and grounded, perfect for conversations that last for hours.
Our own studio, The Loft, is a testament to our love for adaptive reuse. We transformed a space within a 100-year-old Victorian building in South Bombay, exposing the original brick arches and wooden beams to create a workspace that is open, inspiring, and bathed in natural light.
A bedroom should be a sanctuary. For the 'Pad by the Bay' project, we layered textures and warm materials like oak veneer and plush fabrics to create a serene retreat. The space is designed for rest, with curated art and soft lighting completing the calm atmosphere.
Design is nothing without the people who bring it to life. We have immense respect for our craftsmen, the 'maliks' of their trade. It is because of their skill and dedication, working alongside us for years, that we can achieve this level of finishing and detail in our projects.
We believe architecture must respond to its environment. This conceptual rendering for 'The Estate' in Ballard Estate reimagines a neglected public space, turning it into a vibrant community hub with seating and green pockets, all while respecting the area's heritage.
The design process is a hands-on conversation. Here, we are on-site, brainstorming the finer details, finishes, and materials for a new residence. It's in these moments, amidst the chaos of construction, that a project's true character is defined.
We love it when architecture disappears. For the 5 Element House, the design dissolves into the landscape, with an infinity pool that merges with Pavna Lake. This transparency is central to our work; we let the space breathe and the user lead.
About Featured
We treat every project as a hands-on dialogue. When you see our work, you are seeing the result of countless hours spent on-site with our craftsmen, tweaking details and testing materials. We do not rush this process because architecture, much like the city itself, needs time to breathe and find its own rhythm.
Architecture for us starts with listening. We listen to the wind, the history of the walls, and the land itself. In a city like Mumbai where vertical growth is the norm, we strive to build things that stay grounded, creating spaces that feel human. We avoid flashy design, preferring warm minimalism where exposed brick, raw concrete, and natural timber do the talking.
Our approach is consistent across all our work, whether we are designing a corporate office in a busy district or a holiday villa near a quiet lake. We believe in adaptive reuse and giving old buildings new life, respecting their roots while making them functional for modern needs.
'Aur in maliko ki vajah se'—the craftsmen we work with are the heartbeat of our studio. We know their hands, their skill, and their dedication, which is why our finishes have a tactile, lived-in quality. This collection of featured projects is a look at what happens when you prioritize this slow, thoughtful process over trends. From the open plans of our South Bombay loft to the light-filled villas in Alibag, every space here has been designed to make you breathe a little deeper.
