Overview
What this actually means.
Interiors can rescue a mediocre plan, but they cannot give it light. When we are involved from the ground up we get to fix what matters most — where the sun lands at four in the afternoon, how air moves through in April, and whether the stair is a sculpture or an obstacle.
What's included
Everything below is in the scope, not in the footnotes.
01
Feasibility & site study
Contour, orientation, setbacks, FSI, access and views before the first line.
02
Concept design
Massing, sketch plans and the governing idea of the building.
03
Design development
Resolved plans, elevations, sections and a material strategy that ages well.
04
Sanction drawing set
Prepared for municipal submission with our consultants.
05
Structural & MEP coordination
Working alongside structural, plumbing and electrical consultants.
06
Working drawings
Dimensioned and detailed enough that a contractor can actually build from them.
07
Site supervision
Regular visits, RFI responses and stage-wise quality checks.
Room by room
How each space is approached.
LIGHT & SECTION
Courtyards, clerestories and double heights that pull light deep into the plan.
FACADE DETAIL
Shadow lines, reveals, drip details and material that ages honestly.
CIRCULATION
Stairs and thresholds — the parts of a house used most and noticed least.
THRESHOLDS
Verandas and porches that soften the line between inside and out.
OUTDOOR ROOMS
Terraces designed as rooms, not as leftover area.
The palette
Materials we specify for this work.
Chosen for Pune — four months of monsoon, hard water and forty-degree Aprils decide the specification as much as the mood board does.
- Exposed concrete
- Local basalt and Kota stone
- Lime and mineral plaster
- Timber screens and louvres
- Corten steel
- Terracotta jaali
The process
From the first call to the keys in your hand.
- Step 1
Consult
We listen first — how you live, what you own, what the budget really is.
- Step 2
Design
Layout, concept, then photoreal 3D views of every room for your approval.
- Step 3
Build
Civil, services, ceiling, carpentry and finishing under one project manager.
- Step 4
Hand over
Deep clean, styling, snag list closed, and the keys back in your hand.
Do you handle municipal approvals?
We prepare the full sanction set and coordinate with your liaison consultant — see liasoning & sanctioning.
Do you also build?
We design and supervise; construction is executed by vetted contractor partners under our supervision.
Do you follow vastu?
Where a client asks for it, yes — resolved within good planning rather than allowed to distort the architecture.
What are your fees?
Typically a percentage of project cost, staged across design, drawings and supervision. A written proposal follows the first consultation.
Also consider
Farmhouses & Villas
Weekend houses and bungalows where the monsoon is the main design client.
Liasoning & Sanctioning
Drawings, submissions and follow-up — the paperwork between a design and permission to build it.
Landscape Design
Courtyards, decks, terraces and gardens designed as rooms rather than as leftover area.
