"A retreat designed to frame the Himalayan peaks."
Perched on a steep slope, this residence minimizes its footprint while maximizing views. The design emphasizes thermal comfort in a cold climate using passive solar heating.
The design process involved a rigorous study of the vernacular architecture, reinterpreting traditional cooling methods for a modern context. Every line drawn was an attempt to capture the ephemeral quality of light and the solidity of the earth.
