I'm drawn to the parts of a project most people never notice, how a shutter meets a wall, where the light lands at four in the afternoon, whether a corner earns its keep. Four years in, across homes and interiors, I've found that thoughtful design shows up quietly, in the way a space works day after day rather than the way it photographs.

I'm usually the one on site, staying until the joinery lines up exactly the way it was drawn. I care most about making spaces that feel warm, considered and genuinely lived-in.

I studied architecture in Mumbai and later in Milan, and I've been carrying both places around ever since, the material honesty of the Konkan coast on one side, the precision and restraint of European design on the other.

I reach for natural materials, honest detailing, generous proportions and as much daylight as a plan will allow, and I'd rather a home look better in year five than it did on handover day.

Our Philosophy

Most homes today are assembled rather than designed — a catalogue wardrobe here, a template layout there, finished fast enough that no one on site remembers why a switch ended up where it did. Somewhere in that speed, the small decisions that make a room feel considered stop getting made at all, and a house ends up looking like a hundred others without ever quite fitting the people in it.

We work slower than that, on purpose, at the scale of a building as much as a room, we'd rather a plan hold its logic before a single wall goes up than fix it later with furniture. Every wardrobe, shutter and handle position gets drawn against the site's real dimensions, not borrowed from a standard detail. We stay close to a project until the joinery lines up exactly the way it was drawn, because that's usually where the difference between a good plan and a good room actually gets decided. We'd rather take on fewer homes and stay until the last detail matches the first drawing, than move fast and hope it holds.
