“ In my view, architecture extends beyond tangible structures; it is a medium to imprint lasting impressions on those who inhabit the spaces. I firmly believe that good design emerges from the synergy of diverse perspectives, making each project a unique journey of discovery and innovation. I excel in collaborative environments, finding joy in the process of learning and contributing to innovative outcomes through teamwork. ,,

AIR BNB & RESIDENCE
Nestled along Raja Beedhi, the proposed site in Melukote spans 1500sqm, with an intentional allocation of 628sqm for construction amidst lush vegetation. Strategically positioned adjacent to the revered Sri Cheluvanarayana Temple, the site harnesses the advantage of elevation, offering panoramic views while minimizing noise impact.
Noteworthy is the existing heritage structure seamlessly integrated into the landscape, enhancing the site’s historical charm. This thoughtful approach not only ensures a harmonious coexistence with nature but also provides an elevated perspective, making it an ideal canvas for a distinctive architectural endeavour.

GANDHI BAZAAR
“Expelling thoughts of ‘who is my own’, ‘who is an outsider’, ‘where would this person have come from’, and ‘how do I fare in relation to him, he is occasioning new relationships and, so, moulding this place.

Is this just how streets are, or is this something continuously renewed and refreshed?” - Cybermohalla Ensemble, “Eleven streets”
