View Profile Consult Now Hire NowPixelhouse is a residential building designed as the home of an extended family in Ahmedabad, India. The design balances the need for privacy with shared family life across three floors. Offsets and stacked volumes create a stepped form with sheltered balconies and planted terraces that also serve as outdoor gathering areas. A central atrium staircase is lit by a skylight, and every bathroom receives daylight from above. Wood, stone, exposed brick and concrete provide thermal mass, while rainwater harvesting, solar panels and double glazing reduce energy use.

Farmers Den is an office landscape design located in Gandhinagar, India. The layout follows a simple grid plan, and the building is raised slightly on a platform that flows into the surrounding landscape and water channels. Local yellow sandstone is used for its color and texture under changing sunlight. Native tree species and insect repellent plants are combined with water, fish and turtles to form a small ecosystem. Raised mounds and tall trees shade the southwest side from strong heat. Openings in the breakout wall guide the breeze over the water to cool the cabins.

Rope is a terrace cafe designed as an open rooftop space. The project is named after jute rope, a local, low cost and recyclable material used to form woven canopies and partitions. The canopies take inspiration from the traditional Indian charpoy and define separate seating islands. Jute has low thermal conductivity, and watered jute helps keep the surrounding air cool. The flooring is made of recycled babool wood laid on aluminium frames so that water can drain below. Recycled corrugated sheets shade the south west facade.
