Project Description
Situated on a perennial hill station Khandala in Maharashtra, the contoured site offered breath taking view of the Sahyadri Mountains. Adapting to the topography, the weekend house is oriented towards this view. The aim was to cater to the vernacular architecture of the region which had prominent elements like pitched roof, cobble stone, etc. This was to cater to mindset of an urban user. Developed in phases, the house and the extension have been developed along a strong axis and are spaced as articulated pavillions with a perfect balance between the indoor, outdoor and tradition, modern life.
