Selected works
We publish the drawings rather than the styling. Each project below is shown as the studio saw it first — the cut through the site, the set-out on the ground, the face it turns to the street.
8 projects
Residential
A house that steps down a tea-slope in four terraces, each held by a board-formed concrete retaining wall. The roof floats free of the walls on a steel ring beam, so the monsoon is always visible and never felt.
Cultural
A reading room and archive for a maritime trust, set thirty metres from the waterline. Nine bays of exposed brick vaulting carry a shaded veranda that doubles as the town's evening promenade.
Residential
Four volumes arranged around a courtyard so tight that every room borrows light twice — once from the sky, once from the tiled floor. Terracotta jaalis close the house to the street without closing it to the air.
Cultural
A museum cut into a disused granite quarry. Visitors descend the original cutting lines; the galleries are the voids the stone left behind, lit only from above through weathering-steel light monitors.
Commercial
A workplace organised around a full-height atrium that works as a chimney: warm air leaves at the roof, drawing cross-ventilation through every floor. Services are exposed, so the building can be rewired without being demolished.
Hospitality
Twelve guest pavilions threaded through a working coffee estate on a raised timber walkway, so the ground plane — and the shade trees that hold it — was never cut. Each roof collects its own water.
Cultural
A civic library built as sixteen small rooms rather than one hall, on the argument that reading is a private act performed in public. A continuous clerestory ties the rooms into a single roofscape.
Residential
An extension to a 1930s bungalow that refuses to imitate it. A slate-clad wing sits a hand's width from the old wall, and the gap between them — glazed top to bottom — becomes the new front door.
Start a project
Every commission begins the same way — a conversation, a walk around the plot, and an honest read on whether the brief and the budget can hold each other. That first conversation costs nothing.
