City Square — a new landmark for Ahmedabad

City Square is a mixed-use tower planned for the heart of Ahmedabad — shops, restaurants, a public plaza, an exhibition gallery, and a rooftop observatory, stacked above three levels of parking. A project this size needs sign-off from the city, environmental regulators, and the airport authority before it can break ground, and a construction team needs hundreds of accurate drawings to build it well. My job was to visualize every part of it clearly enough to carry the project through approvals and into construction.

Institutional · Museum—Panchmahal, Gujarat

Site Area · 8,161 sqm

District Science Centre, Panchmahal — one design, four cities

Gujarat's District Science Centre programme needed four science centres, in four different districts, without four times the design effort. The answer was one strong template — six exhibition galleries, a planetarium, an innovation lab, and a 200-seat auditorium — adapted site by site for Mahisagar, Aravalli, Dahod, and Panchmahal. Panchmahal is the most fully documented of the four, so it's the one featured here in full.

My RoleModeling & Rendering
Institutional · Campus—Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Gujarat Technological University

A university campus proposal has to sell a feeling of academic life, not just floor area. We visualized the boardroom, library, computer lab, and classrooms in full, and coordinated the exterior studies with an overseas rendering team to keep the whole submission consistent.

Residential Tower—Gujarat

Site Area · 5,304 sqm

Urban House

This residential tower needed visuals that worked for two audiences at once: a design team reviewing the architecture, and buyers deciding whether to invest. We rendered the tower in both daylight and dusk so it could do both jobs well.

ASI Eran — Site Museum

A Gupta-period archaeological site needed a museum that could hold its own beside 1,500-year-old ruins without upstaging them. For the Archaeological Survey of India, we proposed six interlocking sandstone-clad volumes — reading as six chapters in the site's history — linked by a colonnade that extends directly into the archaeological ground, with immersive and AR-based galleries inside.

My RoleExploring Design Options
Museum · Cultural—Garudeshwar, Gujarat

Site Area · 95,895 sqm

Tribal Museum, Garudeshwar

This national museum, dedicated to India's tribal freedom fighters at Garudeshwar on the Narmada, needed a facade that felt genuinely tribal, not decorative. We built the design from real research into Warli art and regional motifs, then carried that same attention into the board room, the auditorium, and a full walkthrough film for presentation.

Heritage · Museum—Vadodara, Gujarat

Baroda Museum & Picture Gallery

A heritage building doesn't get a second chance at a bad renovation. This adaptive-reuse project needed stakeholders to trust the plan before construction began, so we visualized the grand arched galleries and sculpture halls in full, then built a suite of walkthrough films to bring the renovated museum to life.

Iconic Destination Tower

A design competition often comes down to first impression. For this lakefront observation tower, we produced renders across day, dusk, and night — including long-exposure night shots — so the jury could feel the landmark's presence, not just see its shape.

Academic Block, IIT Bombay

A new building on a campus like IIT Bombay has to look like it belongs. We visualized this academic tower in both day and night light and paired it with a walkthrough animation, giving the design submission a strong, confident presence.

AMC Auditorium

Choosing the right form for a public auditorium means comparing real options, not just one idea. We visualized five distinct massing options — from folded-plate roofs to a colonnaded facade — so the client could weigh them side by side, then delivered high-resolution interior renders of the final seating bowl.

Landscape · Public Realm—Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Ahmedabad Haat

A crafts market only works if people actually want to walk through it. We visualized this public haat's shaded pergola walkways, courtyards, and radial plaza from an aerial masterplan all the way down to eye level, so the design could be judged the way visitors would really experience it.

August — Township Clubhouse & Landscape

People choose a home based on the life they can picture living there. For this township, we visualized the clubhouse, gatehouse, and landscape — tree-lined boulevards, sports courts, and play areas — around a central masterplan, turning a site plan into a place buyers could imagine calling home.

A lobby is a company's first impression, built in stone and light. We visualized this sculptural staircase and boutique lobby in warm timber and brass tones, giving the client a precise picture of the arrival experience before a single finish was installed.

Institutional · Campus—IIT Indore, Madhya Pradesh

IIT Indore Campus

Some campuses are defined by their buildings; this one is defined by the space between them. We led with the landscape, visualizing an academic campus built around a continuous green axial mall so the masterplan's real idea came through clearly.

Civic · Government—Gujarat

Site Area · 30,000 sqm

Urban Bhavan

A government office building for the Gujarat Urban Development Company needed real options on the table, not one predetermined answer. We visualized three distinct massing directions — a curvilinear "petal" tower, a rectilinear podium-and-tower, and a glazed, wood-louvred tower — compared across two FSI scenarios so the client could weigh scale against character before committing.

My RoleModeling & Rendering
Institutional · Campus—Lengpui, Mizoram

NIT Mizoram — Permanent Campus

A hillside campus competition for India's newest technical institute needed to work with a steep, forested, riverine site instead of fighting it. We planned academic, residential, and community zones around the existing contours and natural drainage, drawing the massing language from traditional Mizo settlement patterns — elevated structures, steep sloping roofs, deep overhangs.

My RoleWalkthrough
Civic · Infrastructure—Ranip, Ahmedabad

Site Area · 7,056 sqm

AMC Fire Station, Ranip

One site out of a 17-site fire-station programme for Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation — Ranip is the first to go from concept to a fully tender-ready design, combining a fire-vehicle garage, admin and training spaces, and on-site staff housing on a single municipal plot. We developed two facade options for the client to choose between before it went out to tender.

2020

I spend most of my time translating design intent into something a client, a jury, or a government committee can actually see and believe in.

Getting the massing right before the render gets pretty, building a facade language from real research rather than a mood board, and iterating in the open — most projects here show more than one option, because that's how the decision actually got made.
