Project in Focus: For this house for artists  in a palm grove by an Alibag beach, the architects played with the walls to ensure flexibility of spaces and a seamlessness with nature.

Collaboration: A cluster of bespoke homes in Goa, with four other architects—Zameer Basrai (the Busride), Sameep Padora (sP+a), Riyaz Tayyibji (Anthill Design), Saurabh Malpani (Artha Studio).
