The Hill House is located in a serene little village cocooned in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. At 2300m above sea level, between Darmoli and Dhaura, the site of the Mountain Home is surrounded by miles of dense jungles, orchards and pine trees. Its steep 1:3 slopes, terraces down towards the view of the Himalayas.It’s a humble second home for a young couple away from the city. The architectural intent of the house was condensing the content and form of a design to its bare essentials.
It’s a minimalistic house that effortlessly merges with the outdoors landscape with breath-taking view of the mountains and the cliff.
