Architecture
Buildings rooted in place
Homes, hospitality, and institutional buildings designed for their site and climate — drawing on local stone, craft, and passive comfort to last well beyond handover.
Start your project briefThe problem
You want a building with real character and longevity — not a glossy render that ages badly the moment the air conditioning is switched off.
Who it's for
Homeowners, hospitality brands, and institutions building from the ground up who care how a place feels and how it holds up over decades.
We design buildings that belong to where they stand. Omak The Khaas, a 2.25-acre eco-resort near Corbett, is conceived as a village in the woods rather than one large block — river-stone cladding from the local beds, hand-applied mud plaster, slate and Kota stone, bamboo, and solar threaded through so the architecture disappears into the forest instead of dominating it. Passive cooling does the heavy lifting: the thermal mass of stone and mud, deep shade and cross-ventilation hold the cottages comfortable through 40-degree summers without a wall of air conditioners. Across types, the method is the same: read the site and the climate first, build with materials and craft that age well, and let the architecture earn its presence quietly.

How we work
Read the site
Orientation, climate, views, and constraints — half a day on site and in conversation before any line is drawn.
Set the concept
One defining idea and a massing strategy, paired with a budget you sign off on before we develop the design.
Develop & detail
Material samples you can hold, passive-comfort decisions, and drawings coordinated for clean construction.
Build & hand over
Site reviews through construction, and we stay reachable long after the dust settles.

Let's build it
Tell us about your site, your brief, and what you want the space to feel like. We'll spend the first conversation listening before we draw a single line.
