A selection of our primary works, highlighting our approach to biophilic principles, honest materiality, and functional, timeless design.

We designed this school in South Bangalore to be a study in form and materiality. The building's fluid geometry and curved terracotta façade create a dynamic yet harmonious presence, demonstrating how institutional architecture can be both monumental and welcoming.

At the core of the school, a circular courtyard with lush, tiered gardens serves as a biophilic sanctuary. This space embodies our commitment to creating environments that foster community and connect occupants with nature, enhancing the daily learning experience.

A detail of the façade reveals the rhythmic interplay between the warm, textured terracotta screen and the monolithic, curved structure. This juxtaposition of materials and a focus on refined detailing are central to our architectural language.

This conceptual design for an eco-conscious community in Kanakapura showcases our exploration of sustainable living. The architecture uses mud block construction and is integrated with natural water features and dense greenery, proposing a model for biophilic community design.

This render illustrates our vision for a public institutional campus, featuring a grand stepped amphitheater that encourages social interaction. The design balances the curved terracotta building with open public plazas, creating a dynamic relationship between the structure and its landscape.

We are honored to have our Principal Architect, Milana M V, receive the Young Architect of the Year Award at the 2024 Young Architects Festival. This recognition affirms our firm's dedication to pushing the boundaries of design and sustainability in Indian architecture.

This competition entry for an institutional building in Bangalore explores a more rectilinear form. The design uses a palette of red brick, exposed concrete, and black metal, with integrated terraces that serve as outdoor learning spaces, demonstrating our versatile approach to educational architecture.

About Featured

Our design process prioritizes the tactile quality of materials, often utilizing exposed terracotta and brick to create depth and warmth. In our institutional projects across Bangalore, we specifically integrate fluid geometries and natural ventilation strategies to ensure that large structures remain inviting and human-centric rather than rigid.

This is the Nairy Residence, a home designed for three generations on a trapezoidal corner site. The structure acts as a protective fortress at street level, while the upper levels open up, becoming porous to the surrounding light and landscape. The curved concrete roof and exposed brick volumes are a direct expression of this dual concept.8

In the Nairy Residence, I create intimate moments of connection with the outdoors. This bedroom features a deep bay window seat, a quiet perch that frames the lush greenery outside, transforming a simple window into a personal retreat and filling the space with soft, natural light.
The main staircase is a central sculptural element within the Nairy Residence. A bold, green-painted steel beam supports the structure, creating a visual contrast with the raw brick wall and drawing the eye upwards towards a circular skylight, which bathes the double-height volume in daylight.
