The architectural practice pursues making of the built environment as a critical discourse. The projects explore tectonic and typological inventivesness to create dignified habitats for varying users, in diverse contexts and climate, across scales - ranging from architecture, architectural interior, re-use, renovation to urban design and heritage conservation.  The studio aspires to articulate, through design as a process and outcome, sensitive built practices with a search for contemporaneity.

In an initiative by Architecture Live, the firm has been commended in its edition “Future Trajectories” for “challenging and re-interpreting tradition and building technology”.
