This place can be described as a quiet, multi-faith meditation and retreat centre nestled into the Himalayan foothills, where the architecture feels like it has grown naturally out of the landscape rather than being imposed on it. Overall character The centre is designed around stillness, contemplation and connection with nature. It is not a conventional religious institution belonging to one faith. Instead, it creates a shared spiritual environment where people of different beliefs, or no particular belief, can come to meditate, reflect, pray or simply disconnect. Architecture The buildings are low-rise clusters of stone, timber and earth plaster, stepping gently along the natural contours of the hillside. Sloping slate roofs, deep timber verandahs, stone retaining walls and courtyards give the centre a strong Himalayan vernacular character. Rather than one large building, the centre is made up of smaller pavilions connected through covered walkways, gardens and courtyards. This makes the journey through the site part of the experience. Sacred spaces At the heart is a quiet central meditation hall, with a simple circular or octagonal geometry and a timber roof structure. Natural light enters from above, creating a changing connection with the sky throughout the day. The interior avoids prescribing a particular religion. Instead of a single deity or icon, the space can incorporate abstract symbols and elements representing different traditions, while leaving enough visual emptiness for individual interpretation. Landscape Nature is treated almost as another architectural element. Stone paths follow the slope, passing through dense Himalayan vegetation, flowering gardens, small streams and waterfalls. Water is deliberately incorporated into the experience, creating a continuous background sound. Large existing trees become gathering and meditation points rather than being cleared for construction. Experience The centre is intended to feel progressively quieter as one moves inward: Road → entrance → courtyard → garden paths → meditation spaces → landscape terraces The transition from the outside world to the inner spaces is gradual. Covered verandahs, filtered views, changing light, the sound of water and framed mountain vistas create moments of pause throughout the journey. Material palette Local rough stone for walls and foundations Timber for columns, beams, screens and ceilings Slate for pitched roofs Warm earth/lime plaster Hand-finished metal details in brass or copper Natural cotton, wool and woven textiles Stone paving and locally sourced landscape materials The result should feel timeless, grounded and slightly imperfect, rather than polished like a luxury resort. The luxury, if any, comes from the setting, silence, craftsmanship and views. Humans have finally managed to build somewhere where the mountain gets to be the impressive part. 🌿⛰️

There are times when people want to hit pause on their fast-paced lives, to detach and relax, to recuperate from the effects of a bustling city, and spend quality time with their friends and family. Private retreats that provide such an opportunity hold a special place in people’s hearts. Blossom Farm is one such place where one would yearn to go. The villa combines entertainment, nature and wellness-based experiences. This micro-resort covers 1,100 square yards . This property aims to be a modern wellness villa made with vernacular materials, using site conditions and existing topography to its advantage as an energy-efficient and sustainable building. The journey around the property unravels this resort to the visitor’s eyes. Reaching the place, the visitor circles around the resort and views it in its full glory. The "opus incertum" stone cladding, punctured with a white porch, has a large timber pivot door, opening the visitor to a world of serenity. The dining and kitchen areas make for a communal space, which leads toward the infinity pool against the backdrop of the lush tropical garden with palm trees. The main building is comprised of two stacked perpendicular blocks, with the cantilevered block supported by a signature "V" column. This volume composition ensures the shading of the pool from the sun and its protection from rain. Similarly, all the private and communal spaces light up naturally and adequately while shaded. The floating slabs arching over both ends of the infinity pool hold a pool bar on the right and a sunken pool lounge on the left. These spaces are covered with fabric gazebo atop timber posts. This design of the gazebo mimics the vista and the sensation of boats on the still sea. The villa's character and growth unravel as the visitor traverses through the spaces and host of amenities. The modern and rectilinear forms of the resort serve as a brilliant canvas for more fluid forms within the property, such as the black spiral staircase within, the random pathways, the hammam and the plunge pool with a natural rock waterfall. This deviation encourages its guests to be at ease, relax and indulge. It makes this project a physical manifestation of Yin & Yang.

Set in the midst of a rural forest area, this resort captures the ethos of this region and how it’s been for centuries. People, nature and wildlife coexisting in harmony

The geometric architecture, sculpted spaces, and use of refined materials in shades of sand, earth, and stone, drench the home with a sense of calm and warmth. The neutral shades throughout set the stage for a beautiful play of light and shadow. It took two months to develop the project concept.

I designed this house and its Japanese garden as one continuous experience rather than two separate elements. The architecture is intentionally quiet, so the landscape could lead the conversation. From the moment you step outside, the garden slows you down. That was the goal. The layout follows traditional Japanese garden principles but interpreted through a contemporary lens. There is no single focal point. Instead, the space reveals itself gradually. A winding stone path guides movement, encouraging pause rather than passage. Each turn frames a different composition of moss, gravel, water, and foliage, carefully balanced to feel effortless, though nothing here is accidental.
