A-101 · The practice

One studio, from the plot line to the last cushion.

Most projects are split between an architect, an interior designer and a landscape contractor. We do all three, so the building, the rooms and the garden are designed as one project.

  1. Sol Grow: a single-storey retail building with a steel canopy, timber soffit and glazed front
    01 / 03 · The building

    Architecture

    Independent homes, villas and commercial buildings — from site planning and approvals to handover.

  2. 2BHK Kallimandir: living room with a tropical mural and a circular timber partition
    02 / 03 · The rooms

    Interiors

    Spaces, materials, lighting, furniture and joinery — detailed so it can be built exactly as drawn.

  3. Margin Garden: a stepping-stone lawn along the house, with a water wall and a seating deck

    Landscape

    Courtyards, terraces and gardens designed as part of the architecture, not added after it.

One project

The building, the rooms and the garden — drawn by one studio, at three scales.

A-300 · How we design

How we design.

Every plan is shaped by four things: where the site faces, how light enters, how people move, and what it is made of.

01 · Orientation

Every plan starts with north.

We take a true north reading on the plot at the first visit. Orientation decides where the entrance goes, which rooms get morning light and which walls need to be solid.

Vastu, read as planning intelligence.

Vastu is one layer of the plan. Each zone is checked together with:

  • Daylight
  • Ventilation
  • Climate
  • Circulation
  • Building rules
  • Everyday use

Planning
Kept open, light and low — the most valued corner of the plot.
Climate
Soft morning light enters from here.
Avoid
Toilets, kitchen, staircase, heavy storage.

Where a Vastu rule conflicts with light, ventilation or bye-laws, we show you the options.

02 · Light

The sun decides the openings.

The sun's real path over Hyderabad at 17.49° N. Choose a date and a time — the block at the centre is a 3 m wall, and its shadow shows where shade falls.

East · morning

Morning light. Open the living spaces to it.

03 · Movement

How we plan a home.

We plan the home as a sequence of spaces — from the entrance and living areas to private rooms, courtyard and garden.

04 · Material

A small palette, carried through.

We choose a few materials and carry them from the façade into the rooms, so the building and its interiors read as one.

Architect / Interior Designer

I start every project standing on the site — noticing where the light falls, where the breeze comes from and how a family will move through its day.

Then the house, the rooms and the garden are drawn together, down to the last cushion.
