Verma's House
Residence, West Delhi 2011
Verma’s House is conceived as a warm, lived-in interior where comfort is shaped through material, light, and proportion rather than decorative excess. The design focuses on creating a calm yet engaging atmosphere, balancing soft textures with subtle contrasts to avoid monotony.
A restrained palette is complemented by carefully introduced accents, bringing in moments of vibrancy without overwhelming the space. Natural light plays a key role in defining the interiors, enhancing depth and highlighting material textures throughout the house.The result is an environment that feels both intimate and dynamic—crafted to support everyday living while offering a sense of quiet retreat.

The Earthweavers Office, envisioned as part of an evolving Design Research Centre in Auroville, serves as a workspace for architecture, landscape, interior, furniture, and material research.
The building reflects this multidisciplinary and experimental approach through its construction and material expression. Exposed brickwork laid in lime mortar defines the primary envelope, emphasizing durability and craft while maintaining a low embodied energy approach.A key architectural feature is the use of brick shell roofs—developed through Earthweavers’ own material and structural research. These roofs minimize material consumption while achieving efficient spans, demonstrating a direct translation of research into built form.The result is a workspace that functions not just as an office, but as a live demonstration of alternative construction techniques and structural innovation.
Techniques: Arch foundation with exposed brick masonry in lime mortar, combined with brick shell roofing systems developed through in-house research.

DSS
Residence, Rayapettai TN 2024
Located in the village of Rayapettai, the DSS Residence is conceived as a family home that engages closely with its rural setting. The design draws from traditional architectural principles, reinterpreted through a contemporary material palette of exposed brick and concrete.A continuous verandah wraps around all four sides of the house, acting as a transitional buffer between interior and exterior. This spatial layer not only enhances thermal comfort by reducing direct heat gain but also creates shaded, inhabitable edges that extend daily living outward.Openings are strategically placed to maximize natural light and cross ventilation, with full-height windows and brick arches adding both spatial depth and structural articulation. The architecture remains simple and grounded, relying on proportion, material honesty, and climate responsiveness rather than formal excess.
Techniques: Exposed brick masonry with concrete elements, integrated verandah system, full-height openings, and brick arch detailing.

The architecture remains simple and grounded, relying on proportion, material honesty, and climate responsiveness rather than formal excess.
Techniques: Exposed brick masonry with concrete elements, integrated verandah system, full-height openings, and brick arch detailing.
