I am an Architect with professional experience in architectural design, technical detailing, project coordination, and visualisation. As a Junior Architect at Greenarch Associates, Kalyan, and through an internship at Dilip Deshmukh & Associates, Dombivli, I gained practical exposure to residential, commercial, resort and memorial projects. My academic and professional experience has developed my interest in sustainable, context-sensitive, and human-centred design. I enjoy exploring how architecture can respond to climate, site, and user needs while balancing functionality, technical feasibility, and visual character.

EXPERIENCE My professional journey has allowed me to explore architecture through design, technical documentation, sustainability, and real-world project processes. From municipal submissions and working drawings to eco-tourism, heritage documentation, and interior design, each experience has strengthened my understanding of how ideas evolve into practical architectural solutions. My internship at Dilip Deshmukh & Associates introduced me to the technical and regulatory aspects of architecture, including municipal drawings, working drawings, documentation, and approval processes. As a Junior Architect at Green Arch Associates, I have expanded my experience into sustainable and context-responsive design, working across areas such as rainwater harvesting, eco-tourism development, heritage documentation, research, and architectural presentations. Alongside professional practice, my freelance interior design experience has helped me develop an understanding of space planning, materials, detailing, and client-oriented design. These experiences have shaped my approach to architecture as a balance between concept, context, functionality, and technical execution.

C O N T E N T S SELECTED WORKS (2023-2026) 01 02 04 05 06 PANDIT FARM ECO RESORT FIRE MEMORIAL WORKING DRAWING 03 SATKAR RESTAURANT AND BAR WORKSHOP ART

PANDIT FARM ECO RESORT A nature-integrated retreat set within a 5- acre paddy landscape in Asu, Karnataka. The project explores low- impact tourism by preserving the existing agricultural landscape and integrating architecture with the site's river, vegetation, and tropical context. A combination of tents, cottages, villas, and community spaces creates an immersive resort experience rooted in nature, local identity, and sustainable design.

Location Asu Village, Karnataka Site Area 5 Acres DESIGN CONCEPT The primary concept is to celebrate the existing paddy landscape and the slow, rural life of Asu village, bulit places are placed lighly on the land to maintain visual openness, preserve cultivation and create uninterrupted views of nature. The architectural uses natural materials sloping roofsand shaded spaces to blend with the surroundings. The site is defined by its river edge, existing paddy fields and dense vegetation. The river provides scenic views, while the existing trees act as a natural buffer against the harsh southern and south-western sun. Prevailing winds from the south-west support natural ventilation across the open paddy landscape. The masterplan therefore preserves the paddy field and river edge, retains vegetation, and places built zones around the landscape to create a climate- responsive and nature- integrated resort. TOPOGRAPHY Gentle slope towards the river edge SITE IMAGES SITE ENTRY TRENCH NEAR ENTRY RIVER PADDY FIELD ZONING • The river edge is retained as a natural ecological buffer, while the paddy field remains the central landscape element around which the resort experience is organised. • A continuous pedestrian trail connects the different zones, extending towards the river and culminating in a canopy walkway above the river, creating an immersive connection with the surrounding landscape. • . • Public and active functions such as the reception, shop, restaurant, cottages, tents, and event lawn are placed along the main access. In contrast, quieter spaces, such as the meditation zone and villas, are situated deeper within the landscape.

M A S T E R P L A N The villas are designed as private retreats within the paddy landscape, offering views of the fields, river, and tropical surroundings while maintaining privacy through landscape buffers The existing paddy field is retained as the heart of the resort, preserving its rural character and agricultural landscape. A pedestrian walk runs through the fields, allowing guests to experience the changing textures, sounds, and seasonal character of the paddy landscape. The pathway creates a slow, immersive journey between the villas and shared spaces, while framing views of the surrounding greenery and river. This walk becomes an experiential element of the resort, connecting visitors closely with the natural and cultural context of the site.

The tents offer an immersive stay amidst nature, with lightweight semi-open structures that provide comfort, privacy, and a direct connection to the surrounding landscape. The souvenir shop connects the resort with local culture, offering handcrafted products and regional artifacts while welcoming visitors at the entrance. The cottages provide private accommodation integrated with the landscape, offering natural views, ventilation, and a peaceful retreat surrounded by greenery. The restaurant is designed as a landscape- oriented dining space, surrounded by paddy fields and tropical greenery, offering an open connection with nature while dining. The meditation zone is placed in a quiet, secluded setting, creating a calm space for reflection and connection with nature. The entrance creates a gradual transition into the resort, using shaded pathways, vegetation, and framed views to introduce the natural landscape.

PROJECT DETAILS LOCATION Golivali Village, Taluka Kalyan, District Thane, Maharashtra PROJECT TYPE Residential Tower Development CLIENT REQUIREMENT The client proposed a residential tower development on the existing plot, which was divided into multiple zones and affected by major road reservations. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The plot was divided into three land-use zones — Residential, Public Amenity, and Green Zone. Two proposed roads of 30 m and 18 m width further divided the plot into three parcels. The development was planned by studying the site constraints and applicable provisions of the UDCPR, with the proposed residential towers and site planning developed accordingly. P R O J E C T 0 2

PLOT A – RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Plot A is designated for residential development. The plot boundary and developable area were established after accounting for the required deduction towards the proposed 18 m wide road. PLOT A TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN FRONT ELEVATION SECTION

PLOT B – GREEN RESERVATION Plot B falls under the Green Reservation category. The development proposal maintains the required balance between preserved open land and permissible construction. As per the applicable UDCPR provisions considered for the submission, 70% of the reservation area is retained as open/green area, while development is restricted to 30%.

S A T K A R F A M I L Y R E S T A U R A N T A N D B A R The design envisions a moody, immersive restaurant and bar that evokes intrigue and intimacy through a dark, sophisticated palette accented with strategic neon lighting. The interplay of shadow and glow creates a cinematic ambience, where each zone transitions fluidly—guiding guests through a sensory experience. Neon elements are not just decorative but directional, defining space, mood, and movement while echoing urban nightlife culture. The result is a bold yet refined setting that balances drama with comfort, making it ideal for late-night conversations, crafted cocktails, and curated dining experiences.

BAMBOO STRUCTURE WORKSHOP Hands-on Material & Construction Workshop • A hands-on workshop focused on understanding bamboo as a sustainable structural and architectural material. The workshop introduced the fundamentals of bamboo selection, preparation, joinery and structural assembly. • Through practical participation, I worked with a team to measure, cut, position and assemble bamboo members, translating the structural concept into a full-scale temporary installation. Key Learning • Understanding bamboo as a natural structural material • Selection and preparation of bamboo members • Basic bamboo joinery and connections • Structural framework and load distribution • Full-scale construction and team coordination • Hands-on experience with sustainable and locally available materials

Art is an extension of how I observe and interpret the world. Through charcoal sketches, acrylic paintings, and wall art, I explore form, composition, texture, colour, culture, and human expression. My interest in Indian heritage and visual traditions influences much of my work, while the process of creating art strengthens the observation and visual communication skills that I bring into architecture.
