The Brick House / Studio VDGA

Miwa Negoro — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Brick House is a recently completed private residence located in the heart of Pune's dense urban fabric. Occupying a compact footprint of 4500 square feet, the design is a considered response to the spatial constraints and climatic challenges of its context. The project is rooted in a conscious reinterpretation of traditional Indian architectural principles while integrating a restrained material palette and passive design strategies suited for contemporary urban living.

Jali House / Studio VDGA

Miwa Negoro — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Set within the dense fabric of a bustling urban neighbourhood and constrained by a modest 4,000 sq. ft. plot, Jali House reimagines the potential of urban residential architecture. Far from feeling confined, the home crafts a serene and poetic spatial experience, proving that powerful architecture can emerge despite limitations. As its name suggests, Jali House is a thoughtful response to both climate and culture. India's abundance of sunlight, the availability of locally sourced materials, and a deep architectural heritage formed the basis of the design strategy. The jali (lattice screen), a traditional element reinterpreted here in a modern idiom, becomes both symbol and solution; a tool to filter light, frame views, and moderate climate.

The STREET / Studio VDGA

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 02:00:00 +0000

The Street is envisioned as a community house designed for a plotted residential development of modest 1500 sq.ft. plots, where each homeowner builds their own dream home. As urban land becomes increasingly expensive, many families are moving to the city's peripheries. This transition, however, often comes with a loss of the vibrant social life found in traditional neighbourhoods. The Street seeks to bridge this gap by offering a shared space that complements the Indian way of life, rooted in community interaction, cultural continuity, and everyday connection.

The relocation of the existing shrine due to a new residential project presented an opportunity to design a space that seamlessly integrates tradition with contemporary needs. The given 400 sqft site was envisioned not merely as a shrine to Lord Datta, a local deity, but as a vibrant community space, fostering connection and togetherness.

The Stream House / amoeba design

Andreas Luco — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 18:00:00 +0000

Not very often, you come across clients who are extremely free-spirited and uninhibited, people who are not defined by the norms of society. When Nikhil and Anjali first came to us to design their house, we knew that this journey was going to be nothing short of creating a poetic manifestation of their lives into their home, which we call the ‘Stream House’ When we conceptualized their house, we knew it was a lively stream, not a placid river. While rivers wind slowly, gathering water and shaping civilizations along their banks, our design mirrored the youthful energy of a rushing stream akin to that of Nikhil and Anjali. It surged ahead with vigor, embracing its twists and turns as it flowed freely forward.

The Out School / Studio Infinity

Hana Abdel — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 18:00:00 +0000

The Out School is an attempt to explore a new design vocabulary for pre-primary schools. The aesthetics, spatial planning and architectural detailing are a direct response to the constraints that revolved around this project. The client, two dynamic ladies who were running a small pre-primary setup, approached Studio Infinity with a site where they wanted to expand their endeavors into a larger space. This new site was an old dilapidated house, set amidst a residential neighborhood.

House 180° / Studio VDGA

Hana Abdel — Sat, 14 Aug 2021 23:00:00 +0000

Respecting the site emboldened by the views of Khadakwasla back-waters and the hills beyond, this submerged house was conceptualized as a piece of architecture merging with the contours. 35 degrees sloping site with the contours seemingly stepping down into the lake were the guiding factors when we set out to design this 3375sft rural belvedere. A series of parallel, free-standing walls erupting from the slopes encompass the spaces.

Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, this 3,600 sq.ft. site hosted a 25-year-old single storey house. Unfortunately, we decided to bring down this structure as it was in a dilapidated state, its interiors were gloomy & also, it wasn’t a ‘vaastushastra’ (traditional Hindu science of architecture) compliant house – which was the client’s main requirement.

Hana Abdel — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 21:00:00 +0000

“We want to go back to nature!” was a simple brief given to us by our esteemed and lively client couple. For them, this was a conscious step to cut off from the urban clutter and experience absolute solitude. Staying true to their brief, our response was an unimposing structure tailor-made for the beautiful serene site. The site is a hillock on the outskirts of the city of Pune, India with panoramic views of the city and mountains.
