How We See Institutional Architecture
For us, a school or public building isn’t just walls and roofs - it’s a space where people actually feel something. I care about creating buildings that connect with the folks using them, not just stuff that looks good on paper. It all comes down to how light, materials, and even small details make you feel when you’re inside.
What We Do Differently
- I try to make every project more than just functional. My aim is to create what I call "institutional sanctuaries" - spaces that support learning, spark interaction, and blend into their surroundings.
- Biophilic design for schools is something I believe in. You’ll see lots of green rooftops, leafy terraces, and open courtyards. Natural light and cross ventilation are a must - I hate dull, boxy rooms.
- I’m drawn to honest materials. Terracotta and brick, sometimes with raw concrete, black metal, or big glass panels. These give warmth, and don’t feel too cold or too flashy.
- Curves, not just straight lines. Fluid, gentle shapes help make spaces feel welcoming and less rigid.
Real Projects, Real Impact
- Take a recent school in South Bangalore: Four storeys, terracotta brickwork, tons of glass, and outdoor terraces for learning. Not everything’s perfect - sometimes site constraints mean we have to compromise, but I always push for spaces that invite people in.
- Central courtyards and open pathways help folks connect. It’s about building a sense of community, not just a building.
Why Trust Us
I’ve put in the work and it’s been noticed - picked up awards like the IIA Young Architect of the Year 2024, but honestly, I’m happiest when the people actually using the building tell me it just feels right.
