The Red Wall Residence is a wonderful paradigm of how modern architecture can harmoniously blend with the tropical environment. The design team focused on highlighting the purity of the form through the use of rationalist features such as linear planes, volumes and bold colours, which creates visuals and spaces that integrate with the natural features. The team chose a red-toned material palette, comprising of red stone imported from Agra, to allow the building to stand out against its green backdrop. This massive eye catching masterpiece in reddish colour puts the building in a harmonious coexistence with the nature surrounding it.

A Residence for Three Families in a Bustling Urban Setting: Integrating North Light and Cultural Connection Tripleopixel Tripleopixel Tripleopixel The residence we're showing is evidence that functionality, elegance, and a deep awareness of the surroundings can all coexist. The building was situated in a confined urban area, therefore the initial challenge was to construct a sensible floor plan that could fit all the needs inside a 40'x40' plot. Due to the neighbourhood's high population, where most residences had problems receiving natural light and ventilation, this undertaking was made more challenging. This restriction was also in place at the client's previous home. Tripleopixel Tripleopixel Tripleopixel... More

A metamorphic departure in search of contemporary vocabulary, the Salafi Masjid is a soulful realization of tranquillity within the walls. Set amidst a busy regular street in Aluva, the mosque univocally transcends itself as a ‘pause’ and a ‘journey’ to ataraxy. Sprawling across 8.5 cents of land, the mosque embraces the thought-provoking Islamic philosophy from the holy Quran: “He created the skies with the light, without pillars you see it” – throughout the design. Thus, the light becomes the soul of the mosque, and the induced transparency becomes the heart of its design. The 3230 sq. ft structure spread out in two floors emerges itself as a landmark for the locals, pilgrims and wayfarers. Sit... More

A project of its own challenge and uniqueness that prompted us to shape the very definition of a government school. The main focus was to sculpt the school from an existing plan and dimension into a vibrant zone of learning, a place where kids can finally feel that the school is indeed built for them. Light, color, gathering spaces, greenery, scale, and most importantly, the kids have made this government school as what it is. The design breaks free of the typical rigid composition of a school through the use of Jaalis and height variations in the roof slabs which bring in daylight and ventilation, thus making it a breathing structure More

The Yahvi Residence is located in Coimbatore amidst three built forms. The design emphasis was on open spaces to facilitate abundant lighting and proper ventilation. This is achieved through a  central courtyard and skylight that forms the core of the house. The courtyard is the beating heart of the house in bringing the family together, connecting the various rooms, and serves as the perfect backdrop for family celebrations and events. Handmade Moroccan tiles accentuate the vertical wall of the courtyard, in stark contrast with the textural ochre.  The planning ensures that all rooms in the house from the bedrooms to common areas, such as the living and dining, connect to a semi-open/open space. The building's elevation has a str... More

This holiday home is designed on the hills of Sirumalai, Tamil Nadu to employ its sloped context, the incredible valley views, and the wilderness that surrounds it, blurring the line between man and nature. It was built on an existing foundation to minimize impact and cantilevers slightly over the edge. Large terrace and deck areas ensure the experiential fixity of nature. Building finishes are an amalgamation of rubble masonry, straw, thatch, terracotta, hand plaster, and laterite, all of which are sourced within close proximity of the site. Interiors are a cohesion of raw aesthetic, natural materials, and finishes that are contextually sensitive. Repurposed stems of old guava trees act as natural safety markers around the house. Apart fro... More

For the design of Masti, Dubai, the primary challenge presented was the creation of a distinctly Indian identity for the international restaurant placed at the heart of La Mer, the Emirati megalopolis’ newest recreational hub. The client aspired to weave brand identity, the food, and the ambience together to create an integrated impactful experience. Masti offers Indian cuisine with a global twist; the design scheme needed to mirror this fusion – interpreting the quintessential Indian experience for a global audience, while ensuring that the rendition did not appear inauthentic or superficial.  A series of zones offer distinct experiences as one moves through them; through a bold, contemporary expression, Masti crafts a na...
