I see architecture as porous, letting the outdoors flow in and letting buildings quietly blend into the earth. Sometimes the structure almost disappears, other times it emerges from the land itself. Our work is always trying to connect you with sky, soil, and climate as one experience. ### How We Work: Indoors and Outdoors as One There’s no strict line between inside and outside in our projects. We design spaces where movement feels natural, light and views are layered, and every step connects you to the landscape. Often, we use existing trees like a stencil, shaping buildings around them. We’re all about sustainable site planning and ecological landscape design - using local materials like rammed earth and stone, and letting the land lead the way. ### Signature Touches: Indian Roots, Modern Spirit Our courtyards and plazas aren’t empty spaces. They become active hubs for community and `sabhas` (gatherings). Stepped terraces and amphitheatres draw from traditional Indian ghats, making slopes usable and social. Buildings get green roofs and vertical gardens so they can breathe. We love using raw stone, exposed brick, and earthy pathways for a tactile feel. Every project is a collective process, Indian in spirit but open to the world. ## Highlights Browse through The Purple Ink Studio's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/the_purple_ink_studio/landscape-architecture/featured) - ![Our design for the TAPMI Centre in Manipal, a space for community and learning.

We’re more a tribe than a company. India’s changing, and we try to keep up—rooted, but curious. Our Winged Tiger Sessions? That’s us, chatting with quiet creators shaping this place. Architecture for us is just life, memory, and a bit of guts—always weaving our stories into something bigger. ### My work - **What We Do**: We design architecture, landscapes, and interiors for campuses, homes, and cultural spaces, always with a community-centered touch. - **Our Way of Thinking**: We see architecture as a cultural spark. Every project is about memory, place, and spaces that give back. - **Material Love**: We play with concrete, stone, brick, and revive local crafts—think red oxide flooring revival and bamboo, from smooth to rugged. - **How We Design**: Porous architecture design, shifting volumes, inward-looking buildings—spaces that breathe and blend with their land. - **Who We Click With**: Best with folks who come with open minds, ready to question, explore, and build something non-linear together. ## More services from The Purple Ink Studio - [Interior Design](https://mytribe.in/the_purple_ink_studio/interior-design) · ₹120-500 per sqft (estimate) - [Architectural Design](https://mytribe.in/the_purple_ink_studio/architectural-design) · ₹120-350 per sq.ft.
