Taking a step back in time—while building forward.
We’re restoring this 1940s Mysore home with deep respect for its heritage and a vision for the future.

From uncovering rotten timber beams to carefully replacing them with structural steel, every decision is made with care—for the architecture, the light, and the landscape.

Restoration comes with surprises, but that’s part of the story.
We can’t wait to show you how it all unfolds.

You’ve seen them on rooftops, shopfronts, construction sites — wide-eyed, tongue out, always watching.
We call them dhrishti bommai, nazar battu, buri nazar wale… but what are they really doing there?

This reel is a “Tall Storey” about India’s painted faces — not just as superstition, but as design, psychology, and quiet technology.
Turns out, there’s more than meets the eye.

Everyone’s heard of Corbusier and Kahn in India. But almost no one knows the woman who made their Indian journeys possible.

This “Tall Storey” is about Gira Sarabhai—the quiet architect in black in that family photo, who apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright and came back to Ahmedabad with a new way of thinking about design.

Her vision turned the Sarabhai family into patrons of modernism. She opened the door for Corbusier’s first projects in India, which in turn led to Chandigarh. She supported B.V. Doshi, who brought Louis Kahn to Ahmedabad, giving us IIM.

One woman’s choice—to study under Wright—reshaped the course of modern Indian architecture. Without her, Corbusier might never have come, and Kahn might never have followed.

What happens when you redesign a home around a tree instead of a courtyard?

This is the story of how we transformed a quirky 20-year-old house with odd corners, dark rooms and all - into a bright, flowing home that opens up to nature.

Thanks to for the amazing photography of the new house!

This is a Tall Storey about a strange but wonderful collaboration between architecture & science.

The Einstein Tower is located in Potsdam, Germany - and was designed by Erich Mendelsohn in 1922 as a solar observatory to test Einstein’s theory - measuring the gravitational red shift of light from the sun. What I love about it is not just the science, but the ambition.
Someone decided that a revolutionary idea deserved a revolutionary building.

This is a Tall Storey about how we taught sand to dream.

We think of sand as something ordinary. Something that slips into our shoes and gets brushed away without a second thought. But this quiet, granular earth is the foundation of almost everything we’ve built.

From lenses that let us see the cosmos… to microscopes that revealed invisible worlds. From silicon chips that compute our thoughts… to fiber optics that carry our voices across oceans.

We melted it. Refined it. Etched it.
And somewhere along the way, we turned it into memory. Into signal. Into intelligence.

Civilization, it turns out, is written in sand.

Design remembers even when we forget.

Objects carry traces of where they’ve been. Even when their meaning changes, their form often holds onto something older.

Chess feels Ancient. Unquestioned. But one small detail on one of its most familiar pieces has a history that most of us have never really thought about.

A grandmaster (Igor Smirnov) recently asked a simple question about it. The responses were mixed. But the real story goes much further back than most people imagine.

That detail did not originate in Europe. It did not begin in a cathedral. It did not even begin as the object we now associate it with.

It traveled across cultures. It was translated, abstracted and renamed. And through all of that, its shape endured.

Chess is a game about strategy and power. Yet its journey across the world was shaped more by exchange than by conquest. It moved through trade routes and royal courts. It was adopted and adapted.

And hidden in one small feature of the board is a reminder of that journey.

If you think you know what it used to be, put your guess in the comments.

In anticipation of Part 2 in our video series on the Evil Eye faces of South India, we’re reposting an improved and remastered version of our original video for your viewing pleasure. :)

The Drishti Gombe goes by many names but one things for sure… it’s more global and ubiquitous than most people realize. When we look closer, there is a hidden logic that explains their presence and why we still find them in our homes and across our cities.

Being a part of our architecture and our cities, there’s a special place for them in our Tall Storeys!
