Having started as a single member office with just a vision and zero capital, designQube is now a creative team of young, enthusiastic and eager architects, rated among the top architecture and interior design firms in Chennai, with a team of 20 architects and designers, having carved a niche in the field of imaginative yet efficient architectural and interior design, across southern cities of India.

During his internship, his interests grew in the field of building science related to Vernacular Indian Architecture and Intuitive Green Design Methods. Contemporary and modern in design approach, his design efforts focus in space and material efficiency, minimizing resource consumptions and running costs, while not compromising on the visual elegance of the projects.
