A home changes with the people who live in it.
The architecture should know how to change with them.

We approached this home as a sequence of different moods rather than a collection of rooms. The same vocabulary of warm timber, softened geometry, integrated joinery, and layered lighting moves through the interiors, but its expression shifts with the rhythm of everyday life.

Spaces for gathering remain open and tactile, while the office introduces more structure through built-in work surfaces and storage. The children’s space takes the softer geometry in a playful direction, using rounded edges and accessible joinery, while the bedrooms become quieter through upholstered details, warmer tones, and more controlled lighting.

Function is absorbed into the architecture throughout. Storage disappears into walls, work surfaces become part of the joinery, lighting is integrated into ceilings and furniture, and furniture follows the proportions of each space rather than sitting independently within it.
So while the rooms have their own personalities, they remain connected. The language stays consistent, but the way it is expressed changes with everyday life.

Happy to see The Crafted Apartment featured in GoodHomes ( GoodHomes Magazine ) , a project that has always been close to our idea of what a home can be.

We treated custom furniture as part of the spatial framework rather than something added once the rooms were complete. The dining table and suspended bar table, for instance, use the same American Oak planks but derive their character through different fabrication processes. Across the apartment, sheesham, oak, and Burma teak were chosen for their distinct grain, density, workability, and depth.

The renovation was equally considered, with existing elements retained and reworked wherever they could contribute to the new spatial framework. Reclaimed Marandi timber found new applications, while carefully worked timber, stone, brick, and masonry bring construction itself into the visual language of the home. Rather than treating craft as a finishing layer, we made it part of the architecture from the beginning.
Here, making isn’t a step after design. It is how the architecture takes shape.

What makes a contemporary home feel lived in?

Sometimes, it is the details that refuse to behave like decoration.

The starting point here was a strong architectural framework. Full-height walnut joinery runs across the living room, absorbing concealed storage, the television, display niches, and the media unit into a continuous surface. This allowed the room to carry substantial functionality without breaking the visual continuity of the wall.

We balanced that linear framework with softer elements. The modular sectional introduces a generous social setting, rounded cushions soften its geometry, and the low timber table keeps the centre visually grounded. Stone adds a harder surface against the warmth of the wood, while fabric and rope bring a more tactile quality into the composition.

The suspended swing is perhaps the most unexpected element. Positioned within the living zone, it shifts the room away from a purely formal arrangement and introduces an everyday, almost nostalgic gesture. Nearby greenery and personal objects reinforce that sense of familiarity.

Black track lighting keeps the ceiling minimal while allowing the lighting to adapt to artwork, seating, and display.

A home becomes personal when the architecture makes room for both order and spontaneity.

Proud to see the Amitabh Malhotra Couture Store featured in India Art n Design ( India Art n Design )

Couture is rarely an impulse purchase. It unfolds through conversations, fittings, and quiet moments of reflection, demanding a very different spatial response from conventional retail.

We approached the store as a place that embraces this process. Discussion areas become as important as display, trial spaces are woven naturally into the journey, and each transition creates an opportunity to engage with the collection without interruption. Rather than asking visitors to keep moving, the architecture encourages them to stay, observe, compare, and return to a garment with a fresh perspective.

Here, architecture is designed not just to display couture, but to support the rituals that surround it.

The character of a space is often found in the details that don’t ask for attention.

While the spatial experience defines the journey, the quieter architectural decisions give the store its identity. We worked with a restrained palette of textured plaster, polished Italian marble, soft textiles, and mirror-clad surfaces, allowing material and light to build depth without competing with the collections. The curved walls reveal subtle variations in texture, while mirrored surfaces dissolve the presence of structural columns and extend the visual field.

Lighting was designed to render the true colour, texture, and silhouette of each couture piece with clarity, allowing the garments to remain the primary focus. The lime-based plaster was developed on site to achieve a softer, more tactile finish, while the polished marble provides a durable, reflective surface suited to the demands of a high-traffic retail environment.
By embracing architectural restraint, the space allows the experience of couture to remain at the forefront.

Happy to share that the Amitabh Malhotra Couture Store is featured in Rethinking The Future. (Rethinking The Future | RTF (Architecture & Design Platform))

It all began with a simple question. What if a couture store felt less like retail and more like an experience?

That idea evolved into a space shaped around openness, movement, and moments of pause, where every garment can be seen, discussed, and experienced on its own terms. Instead of relying on visual density, the design embraces fluid circulation, uninterrupted sightlines, layered spatial thresholds, curved walls, permeable jali screens, suspended displays, and integrated discussion spaces to create a retail environment that feels calm, immersive, and intentional.

Every design decision supports the slower rhythm of couture, allowing craftsmanship, fitting, and conversation to become part of the spatial experience.

Every garment deserves its own moment.
So does the space around it.

The way we move through a home shapes how we experience it.

This home was designed around the little moments that happen every day. The marble feature wall anchors the living room without overpowering it, while warm timber keeps the space grounded. Low furniture, open sightlines, and full-height curtains allow daylight to travel through the home and make every corner feel connected.

The family lounge centres around an oversized sectional that naturally brings everyone together. In the kids’ room, the loft bed, climbing wall, and built-in storage free up the floor for play instead of filling it with furniture. Bedrooms rely on layered textures, floating elements, and a restrained palette to create spaces that feel calm from the moment you walk in.

Even the balcony is treated as another room, with timber decking, dense planting, and a swing that invites you to slow down for a while.

We wanted every space to support a different way of living, whether that’s gathering with family, finding a quiet corner, or simply enjoying how light changes throughout the day.

Architecture becomes interesting when every layer has a purpose.

When we designed the facade for NDIM School, the goal wasn’t just to create a strong visual identity. We wanted every layer to contribute to how the building works.

The exposed brick gives the campus a timeless character, while recessed glazing and deep projections help control daylight and reduce heat gain. A modular grid brings clarity to the elevation, while sculpted volumes add depth, create breakout terraces, and break down the scale of the building.

As daylight shifts through the day, the facade changes with it, creating an ever-changing play of light and shadow. At the same time, the terraces become informal spaces for interaction, making the facade an active part of the campus experience rather than just its outer skin.

That’s the difference thoughtful architecture can make. Every layer has a role, and every decision goes beyond aesthetics.

The most meaningful spaces are designed for people before they are designed for buildings.

We envisioned this campus as a sequence of interconnected social spaces where architecture extends beyond function. The canteen serves as the social anchor, while the amphitheatre and central plaza create a continuous public realm that encourages movement, interaction, and community.
Landscape becomes an extension of the architecture, with flowering shrubs softening the built form and enriching the pedestrian experience. The auditorium is conceived as an integrated structural system, bringing together the roof cap, MS tubular truss, catwalk, false ceiling, and seating to create a spacious, column-free interior with uninterrupted sightlines and a refined architectural expression.
From everyday interactions to large gatherings, every space is designed to foster connection through thoughtful planning and integrated design.
