About Additional Work

Landscape architecture is often perceived as just the finished garden, but it really starts with our collective energy in the studio. Whether we are sketching master plans in Bangalore or managing site execution in Secunderabad, our team approach ensures every project—from villa townships to tech parks—is handled with the same attention to technical detail and site-specific needs.

This is what happens when we let nature take the lead. For the Tech 37 office in Bengaluru, I designed a living facade that has now completely enveloped the building, creating a dynamic, breathing skin that changes with the seasons and challenges the boundary between inside and out.8
At the historic Bangalore Club, I designed a new colonnade to respect and enhance the 100-year-old heritage buildings. The structure provides elegant seating overlooking the main lawn, using traditional materials like heritage tiles and local Sadharhalli stone to blend seamlessly with the club's timeless character.
The true measure of a park's success is the joy it brings. This interactive water feature in one of our redesigned public parks in Bengaluru creates a space for spontaneous play and delight, transforming a simple stroll into a memorable sensory experience for all ages.
Here, the built form sets the stage for the landscape to flourish. Revisiting this residential project, I was delighted to see how the integrated greenery has matured, climbing the walls and spilling from the balconies to create a lush, vertical garden that softens the architecture.

My design process begins with pencil and paper, not pixels. This image shows the initial brainstorming and geometric structuring for the Gwel Tech LLP logo, exploring how the letter 'G' could be visualized as a projector, moving from rough concepts to a refined, calculated form.7
The final primary logo for Gwel Tech LLP. The design combines a bold orange with a deep navy blue to create a memorable and professional brand mark that is instantly recognizable and reflects the company's focus on tech solutions.
This is the final logo for Telen Tech LLP, designed to represent the meeting of talent and technology. The circuit-like path in yellow and grey visualizes a connection, creating a clean, modern, and abstract mark for the IT and power infrastructure company.
A brand's identity extends to its physical presence. This is a sample of sustainable packaging, a shopping bag made from FSC certified recycled heavy paper, demonstrating my commitment to creating eco-friendly brand assets without compromising on quality.

Our design for the TAPMI Centre in Manipal, a space for community and learning. Here, the stepped amphitheater under large bamboo parasols creates a porous hub for `sabhas` or gatherings, inspired by traditional Indian ghats and designed to be a vital social space for the city.8
For Project 1374, we reimagined the role of green spaces in dense urban living. The home unfolds as a series of staggered volumes, creating pockets for lush, vertical gardens that weave through the structure, ensuring the landscape is the centerpiece, not an afterthought.
The Manipal School of Architecture & Planning, where the facade becomes a fluid, brick-clad gesture. This undulating form creates a welcoming, doorless entrance, tucking the main access below and allowing the steps to become a democratic space for student interaction.
In Project 58, the architecture becomes a living entity, almost disappearing behind a cascade of greenery. We used a combination of black stone, custom terracotta screens, and dense vertical planting to create a home that is truly porous and integrated with its landscape.

We see architecture as a dialogue between the built form and the natural world. This experience center, designed for a farmhouse project, embodies this belief through its transparency and seamless integration with the verdant landscape, creating a space that feels both expansive and intimate.7
A successful urban landscape is one that breathes life into a community. Here, we designed a multi-layered central courtyard with distinct zones for play, conversation, and quiet reflection, transforming a simple apartment complex into a vibrant, interactive neighborhood.
We believe outdoor spaces should nurture well-being. This dedicated gong and meditation deck, set against a backdrop of lush greenery, provides residents with a serene sanctuary for mindfulness and escape, right at their doorstep.
Our design philosophy blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. In this reception area for the Soul Spring project, floor-to-ceiling glass and an integrated water body invite the landscape inside, creating a tranquil and welcoming atmosphere from the moment of arrival.

A residence where the structure is defined by its landscape. We designed flowing green roofs and integrated water bodies that follow the natural contours of the building, creating a home that is both part of nature and a comfortable living space.8
This conceptual design shows our exploration of cantilevered structures that support extensive green roofs and a suspended swimming pool. The goal is to create dramatic, functional outdoor living areas that appear to float within the landscape.
For the MCA Pune competition, we reimagined a multi-level parking facility as a terraced garden. This approach transforms utilitarian infrastructure into a public green space, integrating nature into a large-scale commercial project.
In the Neeti Residence, the swimming pool becomes a central feature of the guest level, blurring the line between inside and out. The design uses a long, linear pool flanked by a stone wall and indoor planters to create a serene, private oasis.
