New Delhi Residence

Location: New Delhi, India
Typology: Private residence — architecture & interior
Role: Architectural & interior design, working drawings
Context: HIS Interior & Construction Enterprises

A house worked from the brick outward: facade, courtyard, foyer, drawing room, kitchen, bathroom.

The concept was inspired by boho architecture and style — layered textures, vintage pieces and natural finishes, combining colours, objects and patterns from many areas of the world.

A Private Residence

Location: New Delhi, India
Typology: Renovation — interior architecture
Role: Freelance: design through execution
Context: Independent commission

A renovation of selected rooms — foyer, living, dining, entertainment room, bar, master bedroom — followed onto site.

A freelance project where a few key areas in a house had to be renovated. The client wanted the living room to look formal, while the other areas were personalised to his and his family's taste — his own bedroom, the family entertainment room, the dining area and the bar.

Two views of the renovated living room: shades of neutral brown, grey, navy blue, tan and mint paired with brass accents around a low table.

Academic & thesis work

Before the site.

Studio and thesis projects from the Bachelor of Architecture at Gautam Buddha University, 2014 – 2019 — a campus, an urban redevelopment, an infrastructure piece and a set of smaller buildings. Kept here as they were drawn.

IIM Amritsar

Thesis · Institutional campus

The campus expressed something about the quality of its academic life, and its role as a citizen of the community in which it is located — home, museum, place of employment, social centre, park, and forum. All these functions had to be designed not for today but for the future.

Redevelopment of Nehru Place

Urban design

Three problems identified on site drove the scheme: parking, no defined entrance or exit, and circulation. The proposal answers them with a cubist build-form that keeps the hierarchy of the existing site, and rainwater harvesting — one rainfall on one acre generates 27,000 gallons.

Office Interior

Interior design

The design of the office is based on contemporary as well as traditional architecture. It helps people communicate to the outer world, which makes it efficient and soothing. Exposed brick work is used in the design.
