This marketing office by Thomas Parambil Architects is conceived as more than a place to sell homes—it serves as the first step into the experience of living there. Positioned along the street as a bold yet welcoming presence, the building feels grounded without being imposing. Vertical fins wrap the façade, softening its edges while catching shifting light and shadow throughout the day, lending it a subtle sense of movement and warmth.

The client, a passionate music enthusiast, envisioned a space that would carry forward the spirit of its predecessor while pushing new boundaries. The brief called for a venue that felt both intimate and open to the sky—an idea realized through a central courtyard at the heart of the 14,770-square-foot restaurant. Carefully proportioned, this courtyard functions as both a performance stage and a focal point, around which the rest of the design naturally unfolds.

Cantilevered Cube House, Sarkhej, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Northwest India
Architecture: Prashant Parmar Architect | Shayona Consultants
Nestled within the tight-knit fabric of the Ismaili Karimabad Society in Juhapura, Ahmedabad, the Cantilevered Cube House emerges as a bold response to spatial constraint. Set on a narrow 78′ × 36′ south-facing plot of 2,830 square feet, the design expands into a 5,150 square foot, multi-level residence that carefully balances privacy, openness, and fluid spatial continuity.

Rising diagonally from the northern edge, the five-level building’s terraces are fully accessible to students and faculty, transforming the roofscape into an open-air auditorium set within the landscape.

Stella is a compact office building located in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. Set within an 836.07 sq.m. plot, the project accommodates 5,575 sq.m. of office space across 14 levels, with four offices on each floor. The constrained site and statutory open space requirements necessitated a vertical arrangement, optimizing usable area while ensuring adequate natural light and ventilation throughout the building.

Architecture: Sanjay Puri Architects

In response to the local climate, each main room is extended by two balcony spaces—one open and one screened. This dual configuration helps significantly reduce heat gain while providing each room with sheltered outdoor areas. The screened bays are shaped as sectional curves, forming a protective screen at the lower level and gently projecting outward to create a balcony above.

Design: Ksquare Architects

Located in Coimbatore Civil Aerodrome Post, the site sits at a threshold between the city’s expanding urban edge and its quieter semi-rural surroundings. It is physically framed by low-rise residential neighborhoods, pockets of industry, and open fields. Culturally, the area reflects a balance between growing commercial activity and an established tradition of outdoor gathering and shared social dining.

Elevating Brand Identity through Design and Material: This new corporate office for an Indian fertiliser manufacturer in Ahmedabad occupies a compact site bordered by a main road and smaller adjoining streets, with its rear edge abutting a neighboring plot. The design responds to the challenge of maximizing spatial efficiency while creating a building that functions as a workplace and serves as a clear expression of the company’s values and identity.

Solum, Mysuru farm retreat, Karnataka, South India
Design: Thomas Parambil Architects
A desire to connect deeply with place and embrace an earth-sensitive way of living informs the built form, program, and material palette. The architectural approach envisions the envelope as light and porous, softening the boundary between the constructed form and its surrounding natural landscape. Emphasizing togetherness and interaction, the spatial configuration prioritizes shared, communal areas.

Architecture: AFW, Singapore

photo : Studio Recall
Embassy Zenith is a 70-metre commercial tower that raises the benchmark for Grade A workplaces in India. Positioned along the edge of the Bangalore Golf Club, it occupies a site defined by tight setbacks, limited frontage, and high visibility. Within these constraints, AFW has shaped a crisp, sculpted form that balances architectural precision with operational efficiency—already reflected in securing a 10-year lease with Apple.

House of Quad, Kottayam, Kerala, southwestern India
Design: Thomas Parambil Architects

This home draws from the quintessential Kerala house typology, characterized by sloping roofs, central courtyards, and an extensive use of timber. Rather than confining living spaces within enclosed rooms, the design adopts a fluid, open-plan layout where spaces flow seamlessly into one another, maintaining a strong connection with nature.

Sky Box House, Panchkula, Himalayan foothills, northern India
Design: Varun Garg Architects
Designed for a nuclear family with diverse professional backgrounds and distinct tastes, this home brings together individual preferences while working within tight time and budget constraints. Guided by the principles of Vastu and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s belief that architecture should provide shelter, refuge, and privacy, the Sky Box House emerges as a calm, cohesive retreat that balances functionality with elegance.

3 November 2025
Tree House, Panchkula, Haryana, northern India
Design: Varun Garg Architects
This home draws inspiration from the symbolic and physical presence of trees—sheltering, enduring, and quietly inspiring.
Its golden façade is articulated through a detailed lattice, echoing the interwoven branches of a tree canopy. Rooted in these primal references, the house is conceived as a “Tree House”—a design approach that combines the grounded solidity of caves with the organic lightness of trees, reinterpreted for a contemporary urban context.

3 November 2025
The Banyan Farm, Rajkot, Gujarat, Northwestern India
Architect: Dhulia Architecture Design
The Banyan Farm was envisioned as a simple, open-plan home that encourages family time and a slower pace of living. Conceived as a relaxed retreat, it nurtures a sense of togetherness, with spaces designed around shared experiences. Outdoor cooking becomes a central part of daily life, drawing directly from the rhythms and produce of the adjoining farm.

A modern residential home with a central courtyard, sculptural spiral staircase, and integration of indoor-outdoor living.

Architecture: Studio Urban Form+Objects Architects
Set within a dense urban site in Vijayawada, House of Voids by Studio Urban Form + Objects reimagines the contemporary Indian dwelling.

18 September 2025
Aalloa Hills Residence, Gujarat, Northwest India
Architecture: INI Design Studio
This net-zero residence, envisioned as a bright white bridge spanning the Sabarmati riverfront terrain, stands out against the surrounding wilderness.
Set on a natural plateau with expansive views of the river and forest, it lightly hovers above the ground, preserving the continuity of natural systems. By blurring the boundary between interior and exterior, the design integrates seamlessly with the native landscape.

12 September 2025
Navratna Corporate Park, Ahmedabad, Gujarat tower
Architecture: INI Design Studio
Ahmedabad’s growing commercial landscape has long lacked a defining modern workplace landmark. Positioned strategically on a 10,000 sq.m. corner plot along a major spine within the Transit Oriented Development Zone, the design introduces two 70-metre-tall twin-wing towers. Formed through stacked volumes, the composition is wrapped in vertical glass fins and a ceramic frit screen, using a double-layer high-performance glazing system enclosed within a metallic panel-clad frame.

Architects: Malik Architecture

This space for encounter is set within beautiful yet ageing structures gathered around a large banyan tree.
Over time, arbitrary additions and uneven structural and infrastructural loads have led to a degree of damage and decay, revealed through careful and patient study. Drawing archives uncovered an originally continuous courtyard that has since been fragmented by ad-hoc structures and metal roofing additions.

The Step Maze House, New Delhi, northern India
Design: Spaces Architects(at)KA
Nestled on a trapezium-shaped corner plot, Step Maze House is a tranquil retreat for a family of five, including their dog. The unusual geometry of the site strongly informs the building’s massing and spatial organization, resulting in a design that engages with its surroundings while maintaining privacy and comfort.

The Hive, Mahindra University Hostel Block, Hyderabad, Telengana
Design: R+D Studio

photo : Saurabh Suryan
At Mahindra University in Bahadurpally, set on the basaltic Deccan Plateau, a new 13-storey student and faculty housing complex has been developed. Spread across 6.5 acres, the project reads less as a conventional construction and more as a choreography of form—an architectural response that behaves like geology.
The composition is not ornamental, but tectonic: volumes shift, balance, stack, and slide in a measured articulation that evokes the slow dynamics of the landscape itself.

14 July 2025
House of Three Streams, Lonavla, Maharashtra, India
Architects: Malik Architecture
This four-generation home is conceived as a condensed village, accommodating both private and communal modes of living. A continuous load-bearing wall, tracing the ridge between two ravines, anchors the design and is treated as a “found” element—one that resonates with the contours and materiality of the Tungi and Lohagad forts to the east and north of the site.

25 June 2025
House of Solid Stone, Jaipur, Rajasthan, western India
Architects: Malik Architecture
The house in Jaipur offered the architecture studio an opportunity to revisit a fading craft that has been integral to traditional construction for centuries. The brief was intentionally strict: only stone could be used as the building material.
This constraint led the architects to deeply engage with the craft of “making” in stone, exploring its structural, tactile, and expressive possibilities.

House of Verandahs, Madhya Pradesh
Architecture: groupDCA

Nine X Nine House, Gandhinagar, Gujrat, western India
Architecture: Sanjay Puri Architects
Fluid volumes weave through nine existing trees on the southern edge of a 3,311 sqm plot, with two trees punctuating the open deck areas and the rest standing in close proximity to this contemporary home in Gandhinagar.
The entry to the site is positioned within a dense cluster of trees at the northwestern corner, gradually revealing the house as one moves inward from the gate.

11 February 2025
Palimpsest House, Satara, Maharashtra
Architecture: S+PS Architects
The original design was conceived by architect Sen Kapadia as part of a series of experimental projects he was developing at the time.
