Drawings & design.
Built work, urban-design proposals, and academic studio output — from a play-café-spa in Lower Parel to circular-city visions for Coimbatore and flood-resilient sections through Edogawa.
I trained as an architect before becoming a planner, and the design instinct still runs through everything I do. I'm interested in how a wall, a section, or a neighbourhood diagram can hold a position — about climate, equity, or the long horizon of a place — that words alone can't quite reach.
The work below moves between scales: a single building in Mumbai, an expandable house typology for India's tier-2 cities, a circular district in Tamil Nadu, water-city sections through Tokyo's Edogawa ward, and design-research studios for the San Francisco Bay.

MILLK — Play, Café, Spa
A controlled public space carved into a former mill in Lower Parel, holding a children's play area, a café, and an adult spa under one roof. The exterior — low-cost steel rods and lightweight plates — became a dancing facade; interior curves quietly separated activities of contrasting character without resorting to doors.
Framed Habitat — India Homes 2020
India will need 25 million affordable homes by 2030, many in tier-2 and tier-3 cities transitioning from rural to urban. A literal architectural framework: a kit-of-parts that residents can build out and expand as their families grow, recombining for local climate. Shortlisted in the top ten nationally.
PudhuCovai — a circular district vision
A 2050 vision for Coimbatore's transition to circularity, set in the Koundampalayam neighbourhood. Five spatial interventions — innovation hub, neighbourhood model, green heart, canal revitalisation, circular high-rise integration — co-produced through a proposed welfare association and the Oṉdṟāga neighbourhood-improvement app.
Edogawa — Water City & Parkway sections
Two design alternatives for one of Tokyo's most flood-prone wards, combining hydraulic engineering with spatial planning. Edogawa Water City embraces water as figure; Parkway Edogawa threads green infrastructure through the dense fabric. Each section was tested for urban-design quality and flood-risk reduction — a sustainable bargain between hard and soft measures.
Delta Interventions — Adaptation by Design
Studio output from the TU Delft Delta Urbanism Research Programme, exhibited in San Francisco. Research themes spanning systems thinking, landscape dynamics, urban morphology, building-with-nature infrastructures, and adaptation pathways — pre-figuring the BCDC's Resilience by Design competition.
