The architects believes that a companys beliefs, visions, and values can be epitomized in a 3-D built form and its interior ambience. His designs are provocative and unpredictable.

He explains architecture can give form to beliefs,and can make building into a real and arresting symbol of brand intent.

Methodology
Previously he was more inclined towards a form based architecture but later on he designed in very mathematical manner.( site condition, clients requirements, construction methodology and economics.) He has no style, he works according to clients need; if client want work according to Vaastu then he incorporate that in the design. He doesnt do many details (but he wants) because of time and cost his forms so powerful that the building still looks detailed. He believes that your building should really reflect your socio-economic and climatic relations.

Give stress on landscaped terrace. He picks elements from various typologies and use them as adornments for the exterior skin of the building. He always treats the the corner of the building.

 Lake castle is especially interesting because of a combination of POP aesthetics, with conventionalized classical stylistics . Egyptian motifs are used in building facades ,like the treatment given to the columns,the friezes and the details of the iron work. The crescent shape projecting balconies ,curved projection and egyptian columns on the facades relieve the monotony into which building would have otherwise slipped . Large French windows are repetitive features on the facades.
