Prakhar Soam I have always been fascinated by architecture in general, be it the first time I built a LEGO house or the time I painted my first picture. Design is a key component in my life as I have always been big on arts of various kinds. I grew up designing graphics, clips, models, paintings, music and much more. Everything from a math, science problem to a nation needs design in some format. I believe in the power of creation as you don’t get what you wish for, You get what you work for.

Farmhouse Design
The design features a full sized swimming pool, an outdoor bar and seating. It comprises of a huge living, dining and seating space along with 3 bedrooms,bathrooms and a kitchen. The site also has an outdoor garden and pergolas along with a stable for farm animals and dedicated parking,
Residential Design
This residence was a two storey building that required a facelift along with the addition of a new floor. The client also required reimagined interior spaces along with a special verical garden due to their native roots. The design focuses on clean lines and optimizing the sunlight wile also maintaining a vertical garden to ensure privacy. The vertical structure directs the eyes up creating the illusion of height on a 3 storey structure, while the stepped balconeys also move towards the mumpty giving a diagonal feel of a mountain to the structure.
