Firmly believing in the power of the built environment to meliorate the human condition, Arnav brings perspective to the design process through a strong consideration of context, human scale and meaning systems in architecture, and seeks to create poetry and character in spaces, adding value to utilitarian programmes. Taking inspiration from his mentors Ar. Sanjay Prakash & Prof. Christopher Benninger, Arnav endeavours to work closely with crafts persons to create unique and sustainable solutions. Every project is taken as an opportunity to develop forms of spatial enclosures closely coordinated with the building programme, social context, environmental context and construction technology
