The Dip Pavilion is conceived as an elemental architectural intervention within an existing residential landscape. Designed primarily for evening use alongside a swimming pool, the pavilion negotiates openness and enclosure while maintaining a calibrated relationship between architecture and landscape.   Caption Caption The project is organized as a linear, transparent volume held beneath a singular roof plane and supported by an independent structural system. Full height glazing allows uninterrupted visual continuity across the garden, while slender columns placed beyond the glass frame the space. This separation preserves the lightness and fluidity of the interior volume while establishing a clear architectural rhythm and... More

Perched high above the ever-evolving skyline of Bengaluru, this expansive penthouse residence epitomizes contemporary urban living through a lens of understated luxury and design-led intentionality. Conceived by uniting two identical duplex penthouses, the home becomes a singular architectural narrative — an elevated retreat for a family of two busy medical professionals and their two young children.

Sunlight floods the inter... More

This project began with a former loft-style office featuring exceptionally high ceilings and a spacious terrace in the city center. This distinctive, partly two-story space was envisioned as the new home for a young art dealer, perfectly suited for a hybrid concept between apartment and art gallery. Stefan Leitner The unique spatial layout of the loft made dividing it into separate rooms impractical, as it would have compromised its three-dimensional qualities. This led to a clear architectural principle: a largely neutral space would host freestanding, sculptural, and individually designed furniture pieces of high aesthetic quality—resembling artworks in a gallery. Stefan Leitner Only two large sweeping lines intersect th... More

The overall site’s void space is strategized in terms of natural light and ventilation, and includes three spaces: the courtyard separating the new house from the existing Edwardian building fronting on Powell Street; an exterior entrance passageway that connects this courtyard to the street; and an upper level south-...

The client's brief requested a design for a writing studio and guest unit, as a 'place apart' from the main house and also an inspiring work of architecture -- both in its exterior form and materials, and in its interior spatial character. The design response evolved as a very particular three-dimensional form, with a polygonal plan and a section inflected to both slope and view.  Helping to further shape the design were an unusually-shaped lot with significant topography which impacts the buildable footprint; strict zoning constraints regarding setbacks, size a...
