Spaces and objects built around light and calm - a residence on Pichola Lake, a sculptural hanging chair, and a Wabi-Sabi therapy centre.

Residential Interior Design
Arka.
ARKA is a house that embraces each ray of light in its own way. The interplay between light and shadow crafts an experiential space that resonates with its occupants - balancing brightness and darkness into a visual narrative that guides movement and evokes emotion.
Oriented with its main entrance facing southwest, Arka lets the morning's gentle rays hit the back facade while an orange-pink evening sky backdrops the front - so the house responds to the changing light of the day. Set beside Pichola Lake in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Furniture · Seating Typology
The Hanging Chair.
The Hanging Chair offers a relaxing, calming experience and a touch of elegance to the space. Suspended from a black curved metal frame, its wooden seat forms a comfortable armrest and a cozy nook for the user.
Developed through extensive form studies and physical models, the triangular seat balances on a single sweeping stand - a sculptural piece that appears to float within its own frame.

Commercial Interior Design
Therapy Center.
Therapy Center - serenity in simple things - converts a building's terrace into a calming indoor wellness space. Guided by a Wabi-Sabi philosophy of simplicity, serenity and beauty in imperfection, the plan threads counselling rooms, a reading zone and group-activity spaces around soft, organic curves.
Designed for both floating users (the clients) and permanent staff (therapists, receptionists and more), the layout balances privacy with openness. Located in Vadodara, Gujarat.
