About 

I am a self-motivated and down-to-earth architect who has developed a mature and responsible approach to any task that I undertake, or situation that I am presented with. Every challenge is treated as an opportunity that is given careful thought and consideration. Each project irrespective of scale and typology is concept-driven and relates to a central narrative. I am always curious and constantly exploring ways by which design can simplify, advance, and enhance lives and our environment. I believe in the power of collaboration and work to ensure projected architectural, interior, and urban designs are functional, safe, economical, and meet the needs of the users.

Arch Anomaly, Mumbai, IN, Co-founder

Having started as a part-time collaborative between batch mates for unavoidable work, Arch Anomaly Design was founded in 2017. Our philosophy stems from 3 very individualistic approaches to design that are constantly working with and against each other to push every project to its conceivable boundaries. We strive to adapt our outlook and approach to each new design, consciously attempting to avoid the creation of a uniform language between our previous works. The practice was involved in several projects at various scales ranging from modular furniture systems, compact affordable housing, and industrial buildings, to luxuriously designed residences, villas, and landscapes.

Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute of Architecture and Environmental Studies, Mumbai, IN, BArch, Architecture

The intention of the B.Arch course in architecture at the KRVIA is to create professionals who are able to participate proactively in the processes of improving our built environment. It places the act of Architecture within the larger domain of the production of space. Architecture, therefore, is seen not merely a skill that is imbibed by a student to apply in the world outside but is rather is a way of positioning one's role in the world, and the provision of tools and skills to participate in transforming the built environment.

Thus, rather than creating individuals that can uncritically engage with the forces of transformation that we see around us, the school helps students through tools of critical thinking to consider the profession and its role it plays in the world and make choices for their own practice accordingly.
