Contextual Minimalism | Local Materials | Vernacular Wisdom
An architecture studio rooted in the intelligence of place; designing across India and beyond.
“ Vernacular is not a style, It is an intelligence system, It is a process, and it is not ‘alternative’”

Established in 2022, Windows to Vernacular, an independent, research-based architecture practice. We design architecture shaped by place, material, and time. Architecture that belongs. We work using local materials, vernacular knowledge systems, and climate to create context-driven architecture. We examine how traditional knowledge informs contemporary architecture by analysing traditional building systems and adapting their construction and material logic to modern applications. We believe architectural learning occurs equally on-site and in the studio.
Studio Principles: Observe, document, synthesise, design and build.
