I am currently in my 4th year B.Arch program at Symbiosis Skills and Professional university, India. This portfolio is a collection of my selected works from the past three years.
I think excellent design is the outcome of interdisciplinary work along with passionate, creative, and sensual values that change a space into a special response to human needs. I am passionate, self driven, hardworking and willing to go above and beyond to design spaces that best fits to our upcoming lifestyle.

Research and successful models of urbanism have shown that mixed-use developments yield economic and social benefits while increasing the quality of life for its residents. By ensuring that everyday needs for retail, recreation, education, and healthcare are close enough to residential neighborhoods, mixed-use development promotes shared community spaces, safety, inclusivity, and wellbeing for different spectrums of users like age, gender, economic classes, etc.

Community healthcare clinics are solution to easy accessible healthcare services for both urban and rural population. They can serve the issues of urgent health services in case of emergency situations. With outbreaks of epidemics, the urge of medical facilities increases, these clinics will serve as a mini hospital at such condition also which eliminates the number of infected victims suffering due to unavailability of healthcare facility.
The design process started with understanding the site context and analysis, locally available resources. Bricks for walls and local wood used as battens in the design and wooden pivoted windows for the wards are used.

Varanasi, also known to as Kashi or Benaras, is a town situated in the Uttar Pradesh state of northern India. One of the oldest continually inhabited towns in the world, it is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and for its distinctive fusion of historic and contemporary buildings.
Our study tour to Varanasi focused on exploring the city’s architectural landmarks, such as its temples, ghats (riverfront steps leading to the river Ganges), and palaces. The survey was conducted near the ghat at Manikarnika ghat and the varanasi gallis.
Manikarnika ghat is one of Varanasi’s most significant and crowded ghats and is renowned for both its religious and cultural significance.It features a number of ghats that are utilised for religious ceremonies and bathing. The cremation area is one of Manikarnika Ghat’s distinctive features.Manikarnika Ghat is home to a number of temples honouring various gods.

Lalita Ghat is the name of Manikarnika Ghat’s principal entrance. The ghat is constructed with a flight of stairs that descend to the river. These ghats are made of stone and have elaborate carvings and sculptures on them. The dead are cremated here and last rites are performed there. It is regarded as a holy location and is thought to offer moksha (salvation) to the departed soul. The Manikarnika Kund Temple, which honours Lord Shiva, is the most well-known of these temples. Hindu and Islamic architectural traditions are combined to create the Manikarnika Ghat. The main entrance and several of the temples are constructed in an Islamic style with domes and arches, while the ghat is constructed in a traditional Hindu style with beautiful carvings and sculptures.Ultimately, the Manikarnika Ghat’s architectural characteristics are a fusion of various styles and reflect Varanasi’s rich religious and cultural past.

Sacred Groves is no ordinary construction site, it is a self-build project which attempts to attain ecological living, on a budget. No previous construction experience is required to work here. They a vibrant and international group of Architects, volunteers, Architecture interns and laborers, all working together as a team and and learning from each other in the process. They consider their own personal growth as an important element of the project.
On site, I learnt -
1. Construction skills on-the-job.
2. Learn about sustainable construction and Eco technologies.
3. Be encouraged to take initiative and responsibility.
4.Have the freedom and flexibility to express your skills, ideas and creativity through our programme of ‘micro projects’.
5. Had fun meeting and working with people from all around the world
