01 / Elevé
Assagao, Goa
Eco-resort
The forest was here first.
Not a single tree was cut.
Twelve rooms follow a wooded hillside in Assagao, Goa.
The trees decide where the rooms can go. The slope sets their levels.
02 / Maativan
Wada, Maharashtra
Farmhouse
The ground became the walls.
Earth from the site shapes Maativan’s walls, with bamboo, basalt and reclaimed materials giving the home its character.
Earth, bamboo and reused elements give the spaces a handcrafted character, from the woven roof to reclaimed wheels.
Construction / Maativan
Made by many hands
Earth mixed and shaped into walls. Bamboo woven into shelter. Timber assembled by local craftspeople. Each material carries traces of its making.
03 / Asmalay
Alibag, Maharashtra
Private residence
Who decides the shape of the house?
Five existing mango trees helped shape the plan, openings and spaces between the brick volumes.
Brick thresholds and curved rooflines hold the spaces close to the trees.
Design process
From drawing to space
Sketches, models and visualisations help us test ideas before they become architecture. A study of the journey from an early thought to a spatial experience.
04 / Lake House
Surat, Gujarat
Farmhouse
What if the house could surprise you?
An open courtyard brings light, air and planting into the centre of the house.
05 / Ramisera Wilds
Uttarakhand
Forest retreat
Not all architecture is meant to stay.
Lightweight prefabricated cabins sit within the forest, conceived for a gentler and potentially reversible presence on the land.
A raised forest hide offers another way to experience the canopy, with minimal contact with the ground.
Behind the practice
Shriya Parasrampuria and Prashant Dupare. Two architects who believe understanding a place is as important as designing for it.
