Born in Mumbai in 1965. Received his M.Arch from Washington University in St Louis, USA in 1990. Worked in Los Angeles and London from 1989 to 1995. Returned to India in 1995 and founded his practice. Studio Mumbai is a human infrastructure of skilled craftsmen and architects who design and build their work directly. Gathered through time, this group shares an environment created from an iterative process, where ideas are explored through the production of large-scale mock-ups, models, material studies, sketches and drawings. The essence of the work lies in the relationship between land and architecture.
