SELECTED WORKS 2026

WHAT WE DO02 AIR is an architectural practice built on three principles: Architecture, Intelligence and Research. Each project begins with understanding — how people live, move and experience space. Our approach often draws inspiration from traditional/ classical design principles, which makes it authentic, meaningful, and relevant across generations. WHO WE ARE01 AIR is an architectural practice built on three principles: Architecture, Intelligence and Research. Each project begins with understanding — how people live, move and experience space. Our approach often draws inspiration from traditional/ classical design principles, which makes it authentic, meaningful, and relevant across generations. WHAT WE BELIEVE03 We are living in a man fashioned world (buildings , clothing etc etc) and we should very much have god fashioned world (trees,animals,water basically earth) . all things we create are controlled by us.That is why when we go for vacation to the beaches or mountains - something that we cannot control. It's bringing us back to our senses to think differently and better. ROOTED IN RESEARCH. GUIDED BY INTELLIGENCE. DESIGNED FOR LONGEVITY.

#1 ROSEMOUNT Our first project was designing a school for children under the age of 7. The focus was to spark curiosity, exploration and fearless learning. Usage of natural light, ventilation, sensory elements, and spaces for discovery, every design choice supported early childhood development. We had gotten positive outcome from parents and teachers that the children grew confident and character development.

NATURE IS EVERY CHILDS FIRST TEACHER WHERE NATURE BECOMES A CLASSROOM EVERY PATH LEADS TO DISCOVERY

WHERE LAUGHTER ECHOES LEARNING BEGINS

Our next project is a residence that is currently under construction. When the client showed us the empty plot, I asked, “How would you like your home to feel?” His answer was simple: “Calm, like a resort, and different.” That feeling became the foundation of Serenity House—a home designed around peace, comfort, and experience.

TRANQUIL NATURE TIMELESSNESS CALMNESS What did you do as a child that created timelessness, that made you forget time? Life in itself is a form of balance, a balance between lightness and solidity, openness and enclosure, being present and timelessness. A carefully crafted home has the ability to enliven an inner sanctum for its inhabitants to forget time.

The most meaningful spaces are often the ones where time quietly disappears. At the heart of every home lies a place to gather, reflect and belong.

Designed as a retreat from the pace of contemporary life, Inaivu explores the idea of connection, belonging and calm living. The architecture is organized through layered spaces, filtered light and inward-looking courts that create privacy without isolation. Materiality, proportion and spatial sequencing work together to provide a sense of comfort, permanence and emotional well-being.
