Narratives
in Light

I'm Manav Muraleedharan — an architect and creative designer based in Dubai, with a practice rooted in the belief that space must respond to its context — climatic, cultural, and deeply human.

In collaboration with leading large-scale developers across the UAE, my work spans from intimate private homes in Kerala to a mass housing development in Djibouti, Africa. Currently at Danube Home International, I lead end-to-end design execution from concept through installation.

My work has been featured in Volume Zero International Magazine, and my research into thermal comfort and passive design has been published in international journals. I bring the same rigour to a 3D render as to a construction drawing — every output is an extension of the idea.
