Modern Indian architecture and interior with traditional twinge

“None of the homes we design have screaming facades. They have nothing to prove to anyone”, says the architect Sandeep Khosla.

He with his associate Amaresh Anand (khosla associate) creates spaces which are heady mix of ideas, layers, textures, levels, water bodies and pebbled planes. He balances basic energies with natural and luxe materials, solid walls and glass expanses side by side.
