About 

I'm a graduate architect (Pune University,2020) with no background of architects in the family but running a family business of construction materials realized the role of an architect in shaping society in my five years of architectural graduation course.
The field of architecture always motivated me to work for the community. I always
connected my strength of the knowledge of building materials to the fragile urban environment and ecosystem to create a sustainable built environment.

“Architecture for me is about perspective which starts from human-centric approach & gets narrowed down to the minute part of environmental response. It is an interesting journey from macroscopic to a microscopic set of concerns which results in a conscious built form.”

Employment 

Metaspace Architects, Cochin, IN, Trainee Architect

I always wanted to work in the domain of sustainable practice in an urban context.
Interning at “Metaspace” under the guidance of Ar. Jacob George strengthened my understanding of the concept of biophilic design - an approach to architecture that seeks to connect building occupants more closely to nature.
Metaspace aka George Design is an architectural firm that is based on
contemporary architecture from the perspective of innovative ways to bridge the gap between nature and built. Details are the most important factor in every single
project.
