From Discovery to Design

My co-founder Yash Mehta explains our core belief: design is not decoration, but translation. We first uncover the intent, purpose, and meaning behind a project. The design that follows is a natural outcome of this foundational discovery, moving our work from a simple process to a guiding philosophy.

As Principal Architect, I stand by this approach. Great spaces emerge from a deep understanding of context. This is how architecture becomes more than a mere response; it becomes a reflection of a client's vision and a space's true potential.

Every material speaks its own language. This mood board for the Manikchand Svamitva Soulspring project shows my intentional approach to selecting finishes. From warm wood in the bedroom to anti-skid tiles in washrooms, each choice is defined by purpose, texture, and the experience I want to create.

Every project begins as a collection of thoughts, sketches, and diagrams. This collage represents the initial phase of my design process, where I explore forms, layouts, and concepts by hand. These initial explorations are crucial for developing a strong and coherent architectural vision.

My sketchbook is where ideas first take shape. These hand-drawn details and perspectives are part of the iterative process of design, allowing me to think through connections, forms, and spatial relationships before moving to digital tools. It is a critical part of my creative workflow.

Physical models are an essential tool in my studio for understanding scale, form, and space. This collection of models showcases how I test and refine architectural ideas in three dimensions, allowing my team and clients to see and feel a design long before construction begins.

This collage of physical models demonstrates my work on large-scale master planning and urban design projects. Building these models helps me visualize the complex relationships between buildings, landscapes, and infrastructure, ensuring a well-integrated and harmonious design.

This isometric sectional view provides a look inside the layers of a residential building. This type of architectural drawing is crucial for understanding the intricate details of an interior design and how different spaces connect vertically and horizontally within the larger structure.

A floor plan is the foundational map of a space. This rendered plan for a residential interior project illustrates the flow between rooms and the placement of furniture. It is a key tool I use to communicate the spatial organization and living experience to my clients.
