A corporate office building named after element of "Water", had a requirement of designing a lobby space which included a reception space, waiting area and a cafe. The design concept was derived from fluid dynamics. By understanding and visualising how fluid motion could help guide the design circulatory movements with in the space. Entrance and exit portals are seen as inlet and outlet modes. Collection points are translated as gathering and waiting areas in the space. Whereas streams of flow are understood as circulatory paths with in the space. As for the details in material and colour scheme, hues of blue acrylic solid surface are used as accents, which are set over a white granite, are subtle references to the water element.

An architectural design project, with the requirement of designing an office complex for a floriculture agency. The street facing facade features juxtaposed projections alternate between two sides of the facade. The facades projections are designed as shading elements, also intended for the built form to have a seemingly kinetic and visually engaging presence.

An interior spatial design of high-end residential project titled "Elastica" under Cadence Architects. With the space split in two levels, one with a lower study area and the upper resting, the design seamlessly progresses in a continuous state of 'flow'.
The scheme has been designed as a ‘fluid events space’. The design seeks to further accentuate the sense of fluidity, with furniture, beds, and ledges all holistically intertwined with the building’s architecture. malleable materials such as ferroconcrete and solid surface acrylic have been used to create these integrated objects.

An architectural design project, of the facade of the building which held commercial office spaces within. The requirement was to design a facade with a more dynamic presence, as the context of the site was in the sense, a typical of a generic urban setting.
The facade is a composition of a wave form wall juxtaposed with repeating rhythmic shapes that lead to window openings at each level. The street facing facade features a dynamic character with streamlined contours that determine its features, constructed with ferro-concrete that allows for flexible shapes and forms. The floor to ceiling voids, allows natural light into the work space.

An outdoor garden furniture unit designed with a dualist persona. The concept is derived from a jigsaw puzzle set three dimensions. The seater & table setup can alternate character into being a monolithic sculpture when not in use. The sleek edges intentionally designed to contrast over soft scape garden spaces. The external skin & structure made of light weight ferro-concrete and the interior of wood and cushioning foam.

‘Rustic and Industrial’ is the theme chosen for the Arvind retail office. The matierial pallette is inspired from the environments of mills and factories, which reflected the humble begginings of the company decades ago. Exposed concrete flooring, corrugated sheets as cladding, melamine finished MDF table tops, wire mesh cladding, and a winding fabric ceiling, which connects the entire office.

Caméya (From Colombian coloquialism; Trans: Work now) is a job “matching” app for ex-guerrilla members and entrepreneurs in Colombia.
After fifty years of political violence over political disputes between the Colombian national government and the FARC rebels, a recent peace treaty brought in a breath of fresh air in Colombia. As the FARC soldiers have decided to lay down arms and return to civil society, a major portion of the rebels are currently idle, unemployed, uneducated and lack proper means to sustain themselves as they move towards integrating into the society. An urgent call for employment, has hence has risen in Colombia.
Cameyá aims at tackling this issue head on. The aim is to develop a digital service that constructs a bridge between ex-Farc members and Colombian civilians. Allowing the formers to reintegrate society while creating platform for people to work and live together.
Unlike conventional job searching mediums, Caméya utilises the soft skills (personal characteristics) and hard skills (abilities), as an evaluation parameter. This allows for translating character and skills from the army into everyday civil jobs.
The research involved case studies of ex-FARC members and understanding their needs, which aided in deriving the requirements. Further brainstorming lead to creating a mental model which devised parameters for the prototyping and design process.
The app presents a "List", where employers and job seekers can post requirements and applications, along with user profiles, creating a simple, barrier free and transparent medium to hire, apply and seek jobs; all in one integrated platform.
