His most significant work was the Maharaja's Palace in Mysore, Ambas Vilas. There is also much of his work still extant in Madras in this style.
During his years in the imperial summer capital, Simla, (1881 - 1888) he was responsible for many public buildings including the Viceregal Lodge, which still today bears his name on the frontage.
