Field notes from
the studio.
Essays on the craft — material studies, the quiet mathematics of light, the rituals a home is built around, and the accounting behind our 0% pact. Written slowly, the way we draw.
The Architecture of the I
The mark, examined — the I-beam of structure and the dot of Aham, the self. An interactive archive: preview every wordmark and seal on linen, obsidian and terracotta, and draw out clean vectors.
The Joinery of Wind
Parametric studies for cross-ventilation in a 240 sqm sanctuary set against the Aravallis.
What 0% Commission Actually Costs
A line-by-line account of one project's vendor sheet, with every markup left deliberately visible.
A Study in Travertine
Reading a single slab for its bedding planes — and letting the stone decide where the light should fall.
The Discipline of the North Window
Daylight autonomy is a number; the quality of a morning is not. We learn to design for both.
Mapping the Path Between Rooms
The corridor is not dead space. It is the breath a house takes between one ritual and the next.
Brass, and the Patience of Patina
Specifying a metal that is meant to change — and writing the ageing into the drawing set itself.
Reading a Plot Before the Pencil
Sun path, prevailing wind, the neighbour's parapet. The site has already drawn half the house.
The Ponte Residence, Revisited
Eighteen months in. What the family kept, what the light did, and the one wall we would move.
Shadow as a Building Material
A study in silence: where raw concrete meets a deep reveal, and the absence of light becomes form.
The First Light of Dawn
Orientating a bedroom not to a view, but to a moment — the precise minute the sun clears the ridge.
The Master Estimation Matrix
How one source of truth for cost and spec removes the friction that quietly inflates every build.
