Foods Arena, a 13,000 sq. ft. triangular food hub, features an open layout with a curvilinear roof, high ceilings, and a vibrant red superstructure symbolizing love for food. Lush planters and trees create a garden-restaurant vibe, balancing openness with a sense of enclosure. Its sustainable design reduces solar heat gain with a high-volume pre-engineered structure.
“ChromaShade” is a kinetic installation that harnesses the power of sunlight to transform its shape. Inspired by the rhythm of nature, this structure opens and closes in response to the intensity of sunlight, much like a blooming flower. As the sun’s rays hit the surface, the installation expands, symbolizing growth and renewal through sustainable energy. This interactive piece invites viewers to witness the harmony between technology and nature, highlighting the potential of clean energy to power our world.
The building has a functional and efficient layout with clear separation between retail and office spaces. Retail areas have a dedicated pedestrian entry, while office spaces are accessed through a 154 sq. ft. lobby with vertical circulation via a staircase and lift. Vehicular access to basement parking is well-defined, ensuring smooth flow. A conservancy lane at the rear adds flexibility for service or secondary access, enhancing overall convenience and user experience.
The concept aimed to create a “Customer is King” experience by reimagining the customer lounge. Initially, *The Shelter* was a physical enclosure that darkened and fragmented the space. This evolved into *The Centre Stage*, a virtual enclosure that enhances openness, visual connection, and maximizes interior space for a more welcoming environment.

To create the “NON – BUILDING” with dominance of nature and buddhist heritage
**Greenwood Greens** is a sustainable office space in North Bangalore near Manyata Tech Park, designed to reconnect urban life with nature. Featuring vertical urban farming through planter boxes on the façade, it promotes safe food production, reduces energy use, and creates a green, comfortable environment, setting a model for a sustainable urban future.
**GREEN UMBRELLA** is a flexible holiday home designed for family retreats, later adaptable into two 2 BHK units. It features submerged spaces for summer comfort, reduced southwest openings to minimize heat, and a northeast atrium for natural light and ventilation, blending sustainability with adaptability.
The concept, **”Pool of Ideas and Loop of Feedback,”** fosters collaborative research through a cyclical process of brainstorming, evaluation, and feedback. The **Urban Center** focuses on experimentation, while the **Urban Hub** showcases results for public input. Linked by an **Urban Avenue**, the design connects a transport hub to research spaces, creating a think tank to address urban needs and plan the city’s future.
**The Plastreen: Plastic + Green Installation**
Displayed at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, *The Plastreen* is a 6-meter hyperboloid structure made from discarded plastic bottles. Its plastic exterior contrasts with a lush green interior, symbolizing the tension between waste and nature’s resilience. This zero-waste installation highlights sustainability and encourages reflection on our impact on the environment.
