Every house begins as a line.

Scroll, and the plan stands up

  1. 01CourtyardThe house is built around a square of sky. Rain falls in the middle of the plan.
  2. 02LivingLime plaster and sheer cotton. The morning light comes in through the east wall and stays.
  3. 03KitchenTeak, terrazzo, one long window to the garden. The table is part of the room.
  4. 04StairBoard-formed concrete, lit from a slot in the roof. Warm wood at the landing.
  5. 05StudyAfternoon. The neem outside draws on the west wall until the light goes.

Every project we show, you can walk.

Selected workThree houses, as plans.

Hover a plan, or scroll to it, and it stands up.

ApproachPlan first. Then light. Then material.

  1. 01

    Walk the site before we draw.

    Where the sun comes from, where the rain goes, which tree stays. The plan answers the site, not the brief alone.

  2. 02

    Draw it by hand, once.

    One plan, drawn until every room earns its place. We build the model only after the plan is right.

  3. 03

    Build the light, then the walls.

    Courtyards, slots and deep windows first. Concrete, lime, teak and terrazzo carry the light around the house.
