Mumbai is a city of simultaneities. Its urban fabric is dense and restless— a patchwork continually fractured by moments of porosity. Narrow alleys suddenly unfold into courtyards, and fleeting intimacies emerge between strangers in crowded trains. Rhythms of chaos and solitude overlap seamlessly to create an everyday theatre of resilience.

Architecture that celebrates the natural transition between day and night, using light and shadow to create a dynamic play of contrasts. The filled spaces, with their defined functions, are complemented by the emptiness of the courtyards, which act as visual and sensory ventilators.
Most homes hold at least one object that wasn’t chosen , it was inherited. A China cabinet from your grandmother. A heavy bedroom set from your parents.

In Kraków’s Kazimierz district, we designed a restaurant that transports guests into the atmosphere of Sweden. Its name, Dala, refers to the traditional wooden horse, dalahäst, which for centuries has been given during celebrations as a symbol of happiness and festivity.

The 2400 sf Hillside House sits comfortably on a forested slope strewn with enormous boulders. The owners entrusted us with their dream of a comfortable home for an active family of five. At our first meeting, one of the owners shared a sketch of a u-shaped floor plan that literally hugged the largest, most prominent boulder. Although practicalities intervened, embracing the boulder was the seed of the design and we kept it in mind as the project developed.
How heavy is a house? In his 1965 essay A Home Is Not a House, Reyner Banham observed that modern American dwellings were becoming structurally lighter while growing heavier in mechanical services, such as plumbing, wiring, heating, and cooling.
