The house is designed as a hilltop retreat, located in the scenic landscape of Nandi Hills. Its spatial character draws inspiration from the natural world, specifically a pebble perched on a mountain ledge. This design seeks to fulfil the innate human desire to climb and take in expansive views, with the house strategically placed at the hill’s summit.

The form balances protection, comfort, & openness, allowing for a seamless connection to the surrounding scenery. The house is a classic yet elegant interpretation, featuring an iconic and innovative form with poetic spaces that frame views of the beauty of Nandi Hills
