The main requirement was to design an efficient, comfortable, well-lit house with a good view of the surroundings. The entrance to the house and property is from road level although all living spaces are 10’ above.

The main staircase has a large tower of space above it eventually opening up to the sky over 45’ above. A single-story house which was roughly 10’ above the road level, was demolished to start the construction work of the new project. When we consider the specific engineering details, a 60-tonne excavator with a demo hammer was used to carve a cavity into the kabok rock. The entire basement is surrounded by a C shaped RCC retaining wall. We want our clients to embrace their lives amidst the ongoing urbanization of the countryside since we believe in bridging the gap between local closeness and modern life.
