Architecture that listens-before it builds

At Br.ane Collective, design begins with observation. Before we draw lines, we tune into the land, the memory of the place, and the voices that inhabit it. Our work is shaped not by a fixed style, but by sensitivity—to site, to culture, and to change. Listening isn’t just a step in the process—it is the process.

Recent projects

Within Wild Walls

Within Wild Walls is a 5,000 sq.ft residence that retreats into itself—embracing the wild rather than resisting it. Half the site is intentionally left untouched, becoming a layered landscape of native greens, shifting light, and quiet thresholds. Architecture here acts less like an object and more like a frame—allowing life, wind, and wilderness to flow through. Vertical timber screens offer privacy without isolation, filtering views as gently as the foliage outside. This is a home that listens—to its land, its light, and its silences.

Samāhita

Samāhita is a 15,000 sq.ft care center designed for differently-abled students—a space where nature, dignity, and accessibility converge. Instead of isolating, the architecture opens up. Gardens weave through the built form, allowing movement to be free, sensory, and intuitive. Brick jaalis soften the sunlight while layered vegetation calms the senses. Every threshold, ramp, and pause point is designed not just for access, but for belonging. Here, architecture listens—not only to the land, but to the quiet needs of those it shelters.

The Warm Fold

The Warm Fold is an interior intervention shaped by craft, curvature, and quiet luxury. Walnut-toned wood wraps across walls and ceilings, creating a sense of visual warmth and spatial continuity. Light pockets and recessed curves soften the volume, while built-in furniture and shelving dissolve the line between architecture and interior. Each detail—from the fan cavity to the display niches—is designed not just for function, but for feeling. It’s a home that doesn’t perform—it welcomes.

ಅಯ್ಯನ ಮನೆ (Ayyana Mane)

Ayyana Mane is a home built not just on land, but on memory. Tucked into the misty folds of Kodagu, its sloping roofs echo the rhythm of rain, while courtyards gather the quiet of the forest. Half architecture, half landscape, the house is a gentle return—to roots, to silence, to the way things were before they were drawn.
