“You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces. That is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good, I am happy and I say: “This is beautiful.” That is Architecture. Art enters in.” Vers une architecture, Le Corbusier, 1924

Site Plan
When I design, I don’t consider the technical or commercial parameters so much as the desire for a dream that humans have attempted to project onto an object. Philippe Starck

Kitchen
Hallway: Before
During construction
The idea was to push the modest 2 bhk row house to cover more functions so that the vibrance and comfort remain constant.
Foldable dining table for kitchen
Right: Hallway after construction
Foldable sofa cum bed Furniture Design The sofa cum bed made out of plywood is a concept for youngsters who are going to buy their first piece of furniture. The telescopic hinge enables quick opening and closing of the sofa and provides a comfortable space for sitting and sleeping.
Initial concepts
Final concept Fiinal concept mockotype
Out of craftsmans, a hairstylist was chosen after doing an ethnic survey and categorization Foldable and Carriable Shop Space Design Keeping in mind the problems faced by a hairstylist in his day to day activities, a foldable shop was designed out of gypsum boards which can be easily carried around. This enables new hairstylists to operate from different spaces and established shops to have more scope for expansion.
Market survey was done to understand their lifestyle and the following problems came in the picture.
Very less personal time
Percentage taken by owner
Ownership passed in kin
Concepts were explored on paper
Health problems
No personal ownership
Model made out of MDF to try concept
How it works
“Whoever said that pleasure wasn’t functional?” Charles Eames
Product Design
Powertool for Sculptors
Spindle lock button
Understand the process of sculpting
Side handle for positioning
Product Design The powertool is a combination of a grinder and drilling machine and is designed to assist artists in the process of sculpting. The design involved understanding the mechanism and making an intervention by adding value to an existing product.
Back handle with button
Study conventional tools of the trade
Do a market and user reseach
Ventilation vents for grinder
Direction indicator
Understand the mechanism
Process of conceptualization
Foldable Nightlamp Product Design While exploring typography, the lamp was conceptualised to experiment with foldability and to explore a different use of paper. The base is made out of filecard while the lamp shade is made majorly with paper cutouts.

Restyling of a table clock
1937 : Hidenburg crashes in Germany
A brief history of the Shelby Daytona Coupe
Product Design The watch has been restyled taking the Shelby Daytona Coupe as an inspiration. Since the cars of the 70s had a very interesting history behind their evolution their form language was experimented with to create a retro clock design.
