Our Residential Projects Featured in Design Publications
We don't design for magazines, we design for life. But when our work gets recognized in publications like Trends and Volume Zero, it confirms we are on the right track. Here is where our design philosophy caught the industry’s eye.

Our project "Belaku" was featured in a publication on contemporary Indian houses. This spread showcases the central double-height courtyard with its peaceful water body and lush greenery.

The publication also highlighted the open-plan kitchen and dining area of "Belaku," which seamlessly extends into the atrium for an indoor-outdoor dining experience.
The feature on "Belaku" included floor plans and sections, illustrating how we design for daylight, greenery, and the perfect imperfections of nature.
The Kanasu project, which was selected as part of the Volume Zero Hot 100 list, recognizing it as one of the most exceptional projects of the year.
About this collection
Every project you see here, like the Belaku residence or Kanasu, shares one common thread: a deep obsession with the central courtyard. Editors and juries love them because they solve the classic Bengaluru problem of how to bring nature into a dense, tight urban plot without sacrificing privacy. When you read about these homes, look past the glossy aesthetic and notice how the double-height volumes and skylights actually function to regulate light and ventilation. That is the real story here.
Beyond the Glossy Pages
When magazines like Trends or lists like the Volume Zero Hot 100 feature our work, it is never about the decor. It is about the structure. It is about the light. It is about solving a complex site problem in a way that respects the history of the land.
What Caught Their Attention?
- The Indoor-Outdoor Shift: Publications consistently highlight how we dissolve the boundary between the living room and the garden. In a dense city like Bengaluru, creating a private sanctuary often means building inward. By using large sliding systems and internal courtyards, we ensure your home breathes.
- Material Honesty: We do not believe in hiding materials. Whether it is exposed wire-cut brick or raw concrete, these textures provide the warmth and character that modern, sterile boxes lack. This is why you will see our material choices mentioned repeatedly in design features.
- Volumes of Light: The play of shadow is what makes a space feel alive. We do not just place windows; we design skylights and double-height atriums to track the sun across your floors throughout the day. It creates a rhythm to your home that feels different in the morning than it does in the evening.
Designing for You, Not the Press
We approach every sketch with the same intensity, whether it is for a publication or a private family home. We do not chase awards, but when our process—from the initial structural frame to the final texture of the stone—gets recognized, it tells us that the 'Kanasu' (dream) we created for our clients is resonating. If you are looking for an architect who obsesses over the details as much as you do, let’s talk.
