He has worked internationally before returning to India in 1995 to establish Studio Mumbai, a practice known for its collaborative approach and innovative designs.
Sustainable Construction: The house is constructed from earthen bricks pressed from the dry earth excavated on-site, minimizing the need for transporting materials and enhancing sustainability.
Design Inspiration: Inspired by everyday brick stackings, Bijoy's design integrates local skills and materials, emphasizing the importance of drawing inspiration from one's surroundings.
