Designing spaces that
shape how people live.
A fictional architecture practice creating refined residential, commercial, and urban environments.
Aether Arc is a fictional practice rooted in the belief that architecture is not simply built — it is composed. Every line, threshold, and material is an act of authorship, intended to be inhabited slowly and remembered clearly.
We work with clients who treat their buildings as long-form commitments. Our projects span private residences, commercial towers, and master plans — always pursued with the same quiet intensity and editorial attention to detail.

Of Practice
— Selected Work
Projects, considered
one site at a time.
A curated selection from our portfolio — drawn from residential, commercial, and urban commissions across India.
Commercial Mumbai, IN 2023
Meridian Office Tower
A 42-storey commercial tower with a sculpted bronze façade, layered terraces, and a sky lobby reimagining the vertical workplace.
Private Home Hyderabad, IN 2024
Courtyard House
A minimal private home organised around a central planted courtyard, where thick masonry walls meet sliding glass panels to dissolve inside and out.
— Services
A complete practice,
from concept to handover.
01
Residential Architecture
Private homes and villas designed with quiet authorship, material depth, and enduring proportions.
02
Commercial Architecture
Workplaces, hospitality, and retail environments that elevate the everyday into something considered.
03
Interior Design
Furnishings, lighting, and surface design choreographed with the same rigour as the architecture itself.
04
Urban Planning
Master plans and mixed-use districts shaped around public life, climate, and long-term resilience.
05
3D Visualization
Photoreal imagery and spatial walkthroughs that let clients inhabit a project long before ground is broken.
06
Renovation
Adaptive reuse and considered restoration of existing buildings, treating heritage as a living material.
— Process
How the studio works.
A long, attentive process. We move slowly at the start, so the building can be lived with for decades.
01
Discovery
We begin by listening. Conversations about the site, the programme, the everyday rituals, and the long view — long before a single line is drawn.
02
Concept
Early sketches, material studies, and spatial diagrams emerge. The idea is allowed to settle, sharpen, and earn its right to exist.
03
Design Development
Drawings deepen. Structural systems are coordinated. Materials are sampled by hand. The project begins to take physical form on paper.
04
Documentation & Build
Tender sets, site visits, and ongoing dialogue with craftspeople. We remain the client's advocate through every pour, joint, and detail.
05
Handover & Beyond
The project is delivered, but our involvement continues — guiding how the building is inhabited, furnished, and maintained for years to come.
— Testimonials
Words from the
people we've built for.
"Aether Arc treated our home as if it were a piece of literature. Every proportion was argued, every material was justified. The result is a house that has only grown more ourselves with each year."
Aanya & Rohan Mehta
Clients, Skyline Residence
"They listened more than they spoke, and that is the highest compliment I can pay an architect. The Meridian Tower is the most assured building our company has ever commissioned."
Vikram Sethi
CEO, Sethi Holdings
"Working with the studio felt less like hiring a service and more like commissioning an author. Quiet, deliberate, and somehow effortless on the surface."
Priya Reddy
Client, Courtyard House
