I am a fourth-year Architecture student at MKSSS’s Dr. B. N. College of Architecture, driven by a deep interest in sustainable, contextual, and culturally responsive design. My academic and creative pursuits span architectural visualization, graphic design, photography, and videography. With a strong foundation in urban sketching and critical spatial analysis, I approach design with both technical precision and artistic sensitivity. Beyond academics, I am an avid film critic and sports enthusiast, thriving in dynamic environments that foster continuous learning, adaptability, and creative exploration.

spaces around the central open axis

cordis habitat

the living vein the street is sacred. it’s where conversations blossom,whereideasareshared andnurtured,wheresilence meets inspiration.

Cordis habitat is more than just a street; it's the soul of the IIM housing community. Flowing like an artery through the complex, it connects minds and spirits, weaving together the lives of its residents. This central spine is alive, pulsing with energy by day, glowing softly by night — a path of endless connections and discovery.

People don’t just walk this street, they live it. The spine serves as the space for accidental interactions and opens up to create impromptu study group. The street itself shifts with the seasons, hosting open-air exhibitions, food markets, and even nighttime festivals.

"It is easy to create one good image of a space, but sometimes a challenge to create more number of imagesofaspacethatthelaymanis unable to perceive as beautiful. The assignment here is to be able to create more images of the same space, something which is at the core of delving into commercial and stylistic realms of architectural and interior photography."

A young boy, amused by this centrally placed staircase, proceeds to go and sit on the projections of the structure. This staircase is starkly in contrast to the other elements of the structure making it an attraction in the whole house.
Brick masonry encompasses the main house, acting like a fortress wall. With an interesting curve and multiple niches, this element creates a fascinating shadowplay at different times of the day.
An interesting frame which captures the essence of the entrance to this famous ‘gadi house’, with children overlooking the main door and absorbing the beauty of this architectural marvel.

PROPERTY OF Z310

Rippled Habitats is an intervention into the existing nala landscape to provide a more inclusive space for people to utilize. A linear stretch along the nala consists of different levels of plantation nurturing the biodiversity around the water body. A few spaces are identified as areas in dire need of intervention. At these points, thoughtfully designed pavilions are introduced, creating gathering spaces for the community. These pavilions not only enhance the aesthetic value but also serve as functional elements, providing shaded areas for relaxation, leisure activities, and social interaction. The integration of sustainable materials and green infrastructure further strengthens the ecological balance while promoting a harmonious relationship between the urban environment and the natural habitat of the nala.

Urban Sketching:

A Journey Through the City, One Sketch at a Time

Every Sunday, we trade comfort for curiosity — stepping into the heartbeat of the city, sketchbooks in hand. From quiet alleys to bustling crossroads, we pause, observe, and document life as it unfolds. Each line tells a story; each wash of color captures a moment that might otherwise slip by unnoticed.

This is not just about drawing — it’s about slowing down, seeing deeply, and connecting with the soul of the urban landscape. One sketch at a time, we rediscover our city.

Tagore Memorial Hall standing bold against a brilliant blue sky — its iconic facade a striking expression of modernist geometry and cultural tribute.

A quiet moment at Triveni Kala Kendra — where art, heritage, and stillness beautifully converge.
Soaked in silence — moss-laden tiles catching the rhythm of Coorg’s gentle monsoon.
Climbing through Corbusier’s concrete — where geometry meets green in perfect harmony.

Amidst Coorg’s lush greenery, St. Anne’s Church rises with grace — a serene symbol of India’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
