Awards and Recognition for Our Design Practice
We do not chase awards, but we are deeply grateful when our commitment to sustainable, nature-connected design resonates with the broader architectural community.
We are proud that 'The Earth' project received a Special Mention at the Architizer A+ Awards 2025. This recognition celebrates the project's sustainable design, which uses CSEB blocks and dry-clad granite inspired by temple architecture.
'The Earth' was the Winner in the Environmental Conscious category at the Kohler Bold Design Awards 2024. The jury recognized its innovative use of locally sourced materials and sustainable techniques that minimize environmental impact.

About Awards & Recognition
Recognition is always a byproduct of the process, not the goal. When juries at platforms like Architizer and Kohler honored projects like The Earth or Aqua Pool & Spa, they were validating the honest use of local materials—like CSEB blocks and ferrocement—and the meticulous effort to let architecture disappear into the landscape.
At the heart of every project is a quiet conversation between the site and our design. When we were named Practice of the Year 2024 at the Trends Excellence Awards, it felt less like a trophy and more like a collective nod to our approach: slow, deliberate, and deeply grounded in the Indian context.
Validating Sustainable Architecture
Our recognition for The Earth marketing center (Architizer A+ Awards 2025, Kohler Bold Design Awards 2024) underscores our pursuit of material honesty. By utilizing dry-cladding granite and CSEB blocks, we aimed to eliminate unnecessary cement usage while drawing inspiration from temple architecture. The awards acknowledge that sustainability does not require sacrificing aesthetic impact; rather, it thrives on the textures of local earth and stone.
Shaping Experiences in Nature
Similarly, the acclaim for Aqua Pool & Spa in Nandi Hills highlights our shift toward fluid, parametric forms that prioritize wellness. The nomination for Building of the Year by ArchDaily and the commendation from Trends Excellence Awards reflect the project's success in blending structural innovation with topographical harmony. These accolades represent the successful collaboration between our team and clients who trusted our vision to build differently, proving that thoughtful, nature-integrated design resonates across the industry.
