Buildings that
answer to the
hillside.

Hotels, resorts and luxury residences shaped by the terrain, climate and vernacular craft of the Western Himalayas and beyond.

03 / The Practice

Local wisdom, built with modern means.

We design architecture that complements the terrain, reading the climate, culture and geography of each place. Our work carries traditional building knowledge forward with contemporary materials, technology and construction methods.

Where we build

From 996 to 3,080 metres

Our projects sit at very different heights, each designed for its site. Here they are lined up by the elevation of their town, from the Chamba valley to Lahaul, with the Rajasthan and Gujarat plains at the start.

Elevation profile of project towns, sorted from lowest to highest.
Sorted by height, not by map. Elevations are approximate figures for each town. Select a town to see its projects.
