about ME

As a child growing up in Goa, I developed a deep passion for redesigning homes, which sparked my interest in architecture. I was in awe of the unique blend of Indian and Portuguese architectural styles observed in the design of homes in the area. From traditional tall-walled, tiled ceiling houses to modern flat-roofed structures, each building had its own story to tell. However, what intrigued me the most were the intricate details of the old churches and cathedrals in the area. The beautifully carved ornaments adorned in these buildings were nothing short of breathtaking, with each telling a unique story.

I was fascinated by how architecture can be used to keep a feeling alive within its form, without solely focusing on its function. This led me to aspire to create architecture that tells a similar story, where each building has its own unique identity and is designed to evoke a particular emotion. My goal is to create buildings that not only serve their intended purpose but also have a deeper meaning and impact on the people who come into contact with them.

A fascinating journey into the captivating and enchanting world of water can be experienced at a luxurious spa located at the edge of Prince’s Docks. The building’s design has been meticulously crafted to take visitors on a sensory journey through the many facets of water. By immersing visitors in an interactive experience, the building aims to awaken their senses and leave a lasting impression on their minds and hearts.

The building portrays water’s various senses, evoking emotions such as power, fear, sorrow, nostalgia, and tranquility. This creates an immersive experience that captivates the viewer’s senses. Every aspect of the building is designed to provide a unique experience, transporting visitors to another realm where they can connect with the beauty and power of water in an unforgettable way.

Nestled in the heart of the breathtaking Lake District, a region renowned for its natural beauty and tranquility, stands a magnificent structure that serves as a hub of education and observation, dedicated exclusively to the study of climate change. This facility is strategically located near the serene River Leven, which provides a perfect location for meticulously documenting and monitoring flood levels, vital information that is crucial for predicting and mitigating the impact of climate change.

The building’s architecture is inspired by the local flora and vegetation that thrives in the surrounding area. The design of the building is a reflection of the natural environment, with its construction methods imitating the characteristics of the surrounding terrain. This innovative approach ensures that the structure blends in seamlessly with the natural environment and has a minimal impact on the ecosystem.

As you step into the inner courtyard, you will be greeted by a breathtaking wooden canopy that creates a mesmerizing labyrinth underneath. The intricate design of the canopy creates an alluring play of light and shadow, which gives the impression of being under the shade of a tree. It is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in the lively and bustling energy of the fair.

The fair offers a plethora of activities that cater to everyone’s interests. For the music enthusiasts, there is a charming guitar store where you can purchase your favorite musical instruments and accessories. If you’re soon to be a bride, you will find a stunning bridal boutique that offers a wide range of wedding dresses, ranging from traditional to contemporary styles. And for book lovers, there is a cozy book store where you can curl up with a good book and escape into a world of imagination. With its diverse offerings, the fair promises to be an unforgettable experience that you wouldn’t want to miss.

We embarked on a project with the objective of rekindling the historical significance of the TJ Hughes area and breathing new life into it. The Fabric District, once a thriving locality with trams, fabrics, and worker houses, has lost its luster over time. To inject vibrancy into the area, we proposed incorporating fabric art and creating pocket gardens in the surrounding space. These additions will not only enhance the ambiance but also infuse a touch of nature into the area.

As part of our vision, we suggested the creation of an arcade that is in line with the Victorian style. The arcade will not only be a treat for the eyes but also serve as an attraction for visitors and locals alike. Additionally, opening up the back cafe will attract more people to the area and create a sense of community. By increasing foot traffic, we can help to rejuvenate the area and make it more inviting for everyone.

The building’s design is specifically tailored to meet the requirements of a diorama maker, offering ample space for a studio and workshop. The building has been thoughtfully divided into three functional areas to facilitate the various stages of the diorama making process. is the workshop, which has been designed to accommodate the cutting, painting, and assembly of dioramas. This spacious area has enough room for work tables, tools, and equipment needed for the diorama making process.

of the building is the office space, which is intended to facilitate the planning, designing, and retail of dioramas. This area is equipped with all necessary amenities such as desks, chairs, and computers required for carrying out these functions. The office space has been designed to be bright and airy, with large windows that allow natural light to come in, creating an inviting and comfortable workspace. The windows have been set high enough to maintain privacy while also allowing for interaction between the public and the viewer within.

The Pavilion is an exhibition that offers a captivating experience to visitors, aiming to take them on an emotional journey through the concept of death. The exhibition showcases a variety of thought-provoking symbols of “Memento Mori,” which are carefully crafted to serve as poignant reminders of the fleeting and fragile nature of life. These powerful artifacts are intended to encourage visitors to deeply reflect on the significance of existence and the importance of seizing every moment of life. The exhibition is the culmination of a myriad of stunning displays, each carefully curated to deliver a unique and thought-provoking experience for visitors.

The exhibition is designed to prompt visitors to ponder the true meaning of their lives and the importance of seizing every moment of existence. It encourages visitors to consider the brevity of life and the importance of making the most of every opportunity. By doing so, visitors are left with a sense of awe and wonder that lingers long after they have left the pavilion.
