This collage captures the Gokulam Grand Resort & Spa in Kumarakom, a project that embodies my approach to luxury resort architecture. The design integrates traditional Kerala aesthetics with modern comforts, creating a serene retreat that is both grand in scale and intimately connected to its lush, natural surroundings.
This is my design for the Oasis Mall in Koothuparambu, showcasing a vision for modern commercial architecture. The concept features a dynamic, curved facade with an integrated green lattice, blending retail functionality with a striking, nature-inspired aesthetic to create a landmark destination.
My work extends beyond India, as seen in this lounge from the Shebran Wellness Resort in Azerbaijan. The design merges modern minimalism with rich, traditional textiles, creating a sophisticated yet comfortable space for guests to relax and socialize.
I am Vinay Mohan, the principal architect and founder. I believe every space has a story to tell, and my role is to bring that story to life with passion and precision, whether it's a grand resort or an intimate home.

About Commercial & Hospitality Architecture

Weaving Stories Into Every Space

I see every commercial and hospitality project as a chance to create an experience, not just another building. My designs often mix Kerala-inspired commercial interiors with touches of modern luxury, pulling in the region’s rich heritage while keeping things fresh and functional.

What I Do

  • Restaurants & Cafes
    I work on immersive restaurant design - where every corner has a purpose and the vibe tells its own story. Expect vintage charm, comfy layouts, and a nod to local culture in the details.

  • Resorts & Spas
    Here, it’s all about luxury resort architecture. I focus on open spaces, natural light, and blending the indoors with the outdoors. Using local stuff like laterite and wood, I try to make each place rooted and sustainable. Gokulam Grand Resort in Kumarakom is one project close to my heart.

  • Convention Centres & Commercial Spaces
    Designing for big crowds or luxury retail means balancing grandeur and comfort. I aim for spaces that feel welcoming but still have that wow factor - think custom facades, smart lighting, and interiors that match your brand.

How the Process Feels

From the first sketch to the last detail, I stay hands-on. Every small thing matters as much as the big ones, so I make sure it all fits together just right.

Why It Matters

Your project isn’t just work for me - ithu enteyum oru swapnam aanu (this is a dream of mine too). I’m here to help you build a space that people remember, with its own story that lasts.

My Story

I’m Vinay, the face behind VM Architects. Kerala’s old stories and textures are in my bones, even though we’re building in Bangalore and Calicut now. I’m obsessed with mixing old-school charm—like courtyards and laterite stone—with clean, modern vibes. We celebrate every finished home with a milk warming, making clients family. Ente hridayam niranja nanni to all who let us be part of their journey.
