SNN Raj Etternia Clubhouse
The interiors designed within an existing structure for an up-market apartment community in the city, the SNN Raj Etternia clubhouse was envisioned as a space that could become the heart of the community. The existing structure was narrow and low so the central core was scooped out and opened up to connect across levels. Various functions branch off from this central atrium, layered in hierarchy of privacy required. A vibrant and cheerful palette of finishes further enhances the mood of the clubhouse.
Y-Living Rest House Road
Co-living is growing in popularity in major cities like Bangalore , where increasing housing prices are forcing the younger working generation to look at new and adaptive ways to rent in the city .the project has been designed with the idea of providing living units that are designed within small footprints, with surrounding flexible communal spaces to accommodate social activities needing larger areas. The site is located near MG road towards the centre of Bangalore making it prime location for the younger crowd. To make the most out of its location and high real-estate value, our motive was to not compromise on communal spaces but at the same time maximize accommodation. Residential spaces in the building were divided for single, double and triple sharing rooms, with a dormitory on the terrace. A shaded terrace garden facing the road creates a shared space for the residents. As the longer side of the plot faces the road, it was imperative to pay keen attention to the PHE pipes passing along the front façade. As such, the canvas was divided into 4 blocks further detailed to conceal the building services within the design. Overall façade employs a mix of metal, copper panels, exposed concrete and 3d tiling to create an asymmetrically balanced view. Y-living seeks to create a better temporary living environment while encouraging communal bonding.

Co-living is growing in popularity in major cities like Bangalore , where increasing housing prices are forcing the younger working generation to look at new and adaptive ways to rent in the city .The project has been designed with the idea of providing living units that are within small footprints, surrounded by flexible communal spaces to invite social activities and interactions. The site is located near MG road towards the centre of Bangalore making it a prime location for the younger crowd. To make the most out of its location and high real-estate value, our motive was to not compromise on communal spaces but at the same time maximize accommodation. The residential spaces in the building were divided into single, double and triple sharing rooms, with a dormitory on the terrace with an adjoining garden. The main design intent was to increase the perception of space. One way this was achieved was through a double height entrance foyer that also acts as an amphitheatre. The façade is an interesting mix of copper panel and exposed cement, against a canvas of textured colours to create a break in the verticality of the structure. A raised front compound wall allows for better privacy and adds a sense of depth to the façade. Y-living seeks to create a better temporary living environment while encouraging communal bonding.

Century Samsara
Client: Century Real Estate
Samsara is a senior living community development. The project has been envisioned as a soothing, tranquil and interactive environment that senior citizens can look forward to retiring to. The development has 200 two and three BHK units which have been designed around common areas in order to beckon often-lonely senior citizens out of their spaces. The design uses light, ventilation, water and vegetation to bring in tranquility and to create micro-communities across the development.
Botanika
This development is designed imbibing our ingrained culture, context, location and climate. The design maximises the five elements of nature – Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Space and integrates landscape into the living spaces. Light, fresh air and freedom from noise are all given top priority while designing the layouts. A play of volumes ensures a dynamic perception of every new space and also allows for varying layers of visual connects.
Suraj Properties
The site is located on a commercial strip within the heart of Bengaluru. In a city where there is a severe shortage of large sites available for development into housing, this site provides one such opportunity. The concept looks at using the ground and first floor for functions that could be community related. This allows for the extension of the community onto the site. Privacy for the residents is created by providing the vehicular entry on the adjoining road and lifting the individual units onto the upper levels. There was a deliberate use of brick and bamboo logs as the primary materials to create a more localized and timeless design. Common garden decks are distributed across the elevation for the use of the residents.
Wilasa Enclave
Wilasa Enclave has been designed with the idea of providing aspirational affordable homes to upper MIG families. The site is located outside the Bangalore metropolitan area towards the south of Bangalore with the idea of feeding into nearby IT campuses. The site posed a number of challenges with a nala running through the center of the site and with high tension power lines running across the western part of the site. The masterplan has transformed these disadvantages into perks in our design proposal with the nala being developed as a key design feature that runs through the site with townhouses overlooking this expansive green space. The masterplan incorporates sustainable concepts in order to create a self-sufficient community such as energy generation, food production, stormwater management, composting, etc. The idea of Wilasa Enclave is to create a self-sufficient community.
