HOUSE OF SHADES
Location: Maduravoyal, Tamil Nadu
Type: Luxury Residence
Client: Mr. Sivaprakasham, TNEB former director-general
A melodic medley of traditional and contemporary elements, the house designed on a one-ground property and three floors over a stilt, responds brilliantly to the site context. Creating voids and greens in the built mass deconstructs the otherwise boxy form and the spatial arrangement is strictly Vaastu-compliant as per the client’s wishes. The parametrically devised façade of the building is designed to screen from the harsh southern light and (view) of the arterial road, but to also provide viewing decks on every floor.
The multiple courtyards of varying sizes strategically placed at different parts of the house allow for a variety of activities, visually connected throughout. Subsuming landscape at every possible interval brings vitality to the living spaces clad in beautiful earthen stones and wood, furnished with sleek modern furniture and décor!

Nature's Palette
Location: ECR, Chennai
Type: Farmhouse
Client: Mr. Arun
Within a sprawling property of 40acres, the neatly designed 1000sqft beach house is the outcome of an experimental time problem- designed and constructed within a span of just 30 days! Built with bamboo cladding on plywood supported by steel framework, the petite structure sits on a 3’ high deck, housing a living/dining, kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom.
All the materials used in this project were utilized in the traditional way, in their most natural tendency. Taking cues from the childhood lifestyle of the resident elderly couple, we designed elements within the house to revisit cherished memories. Developed in a vernacular style to utilize natural ventilation brought in by the sea breeze, high windows placed for cross-ventilation also bathe the interiors in warm sunlight!
Iron Paradise Gym
Location: Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu
Type : Commercial interiors
Client : Ibris Construction
The grey canvas of textured paint-finished walls and rubber mat flooring are intercepted with yellow highlight neon stickers, wood panelling and partitions. The ceiling is treated with black paint, overlayed with the electrical lines painted bright red in a signature industrial style interior with a pop of colour. Custom-designed hexagonal light installation fitted with dummy wood panels covered the AC ducts across the expanse of the ceiling.
As a thoughtful addition, we craftly embossed the floor and walls with implicit signages to facilitate the circulation and zoning within the space! We picked complementary loose furniture blending with the gym equipment.
