Dominated by massive, stratified columns and overhanging volumetric forms, the design creates an immersive spatial experience that blurs the boundaries between structure and enclosure.

It all began with a simple vision: a desire for a home that is in harmony with nature, where sunlight, breeze, and landscape become an integral part of daily life. Tucked away on the outskirts of Hosur, Tamil Nadu, this house sits within a flourishing forest, where previously barren land has become a home for many indigenous trees.
