I am a dedicated architect driven by a passion for designing spaces that blend innovation, functionality, and sustainability. With a strong foundation in adaptive reuse, low-rise high-density housing, and Building Information Modeling (BIM), my work explores creative solutions that cater to the evolving needs of communities.
My approach to design emphasizes creating environments that inspire, nurture, and support healthy, sustainable living. I thrive on transforming ideas into meaningful spaces, whether by breathing new life into heritage structures or crafting innovative solutions for modern challenges.

At the intersection of the blocks, the units face each other, jeopardizing the privacy. To address this, the balcony is treated with a perforated jaali wall, which ensures that no view into the living room of the adjacent unit happens.

INTERNSHIP: EXHIBIT WORKING DRAWINGS FOR LOTHAL NAVY MUSEUMINTERNSHIP: EXHIBIT WORKING DRAWINGS FOR LOTHAL NAVY MUSEUM
It had been little more than a year since I last visited the city. Banaras, as I have always known it to be called, or Varanasi, how it is known, a city that is revered and carries a distinct reputation of being mystical. With such descriptions always reiterating in books, in talk and in news, it was a challenge to begin to look at the city in a renewed away.
My earliest memory lies in living in Lanka, in Doctor Nana’s house, a 3 storey house, where the clinic occupies the ground floor and the rest is residential. That house also was my first memory of having terrace garden, entertaining plants, people, birds and monkeys alike. The houses around us were barely a person apart. Such was the arrangement that would invite you into the intimate lives o four neighbors. Infact, the notion of neighbors did not exist for me then, for the proximity meant they were my distant family. It was only when I moved to my first metro,
Bangalore, that the idea of neighbor was introduced.
The city in that time felt close. I would travel from the house, across a myriad of gullies and into the street, the buildings closing in on the roads, the shops flowing into the street. It was a common sight then to be watch school children pick off items from the shop as the rickshaw went past. The evenings were no difference for the traffic would have doubled and if I wanted, I could peer close enough.
Another distinct memory is of dipping in the Ganga, eating rasmalai on the ghats and watching the morning sun rise.
This photobook attempts to capture the magic of the people and the architecture it lends to, unravelling the influences and changes, one photo at a time.
The Ghats preserve the architecture that was prevalent at a time, with houses sharing walls, each facade distinct
Facades stitch together like a rich tapestry, with a little eccentricity thrown in between

I prefer to still explore the analogous mediums like watercolour and pencil, as well as continue my exploration of the digital realm. I love to experiment with watercolours and recently alcohol markers with the layering and slowing bring in shadows and depth into a scene. The miscellaneous is a small glimpse into my explorations of the mediums.
