The main goal of this project is to use the local materials with the help of local labours. The site is located in the village where the local people construct their homes with stone and mud motors. Day by day their skill and works are reducing so as to bring back their works we used the local labours for construction of the stone retaining walls. Also, when we first visited the site, there was already a man made contour in the site, since we do not want to disturb the natural landform we utilised the space and made it camouflage with the existing landscape. 

The site has a deep valley on the opposite side. It causes heavy wind flow which will make a glass wobble. In order to avoid that and not to disturb the beautiful view of the mountain ranges, we proposed the gabion wall where it is suspended. The position of them is according to the anthropometric activities inside each space. The rocks used for them are sourced from the site. We sourced two to three types of rocks in each layer of the contour where the stronger ones were used for the stone retaining wall and others were used for the gabion wall.

The site is located in the midst of the mountain ranges. It has a 180 degree view of the beautiful mountains with a deep valley in front. The site has natural rock bed and we as architects, do not want to disturb the natural landform present. Also, The site already had a 6m deep land cut when we visited for the first time. We used that landform to bring out the structure with view towards the valley. Also the site has more rocks with a slope difference on an average of 2 to 4 m deep throughout the site.

The spaces are focused towards the valley with an open courtyard in the middle which helps in natural lighting and ventilation inside the building. The main character of the site is that, the wind flow is unbelievably heavy and it might make difficult for the glass partition and heavy noise is created if it was exposed directly. The main challenge here is we wanted to have a great view but also do not want the direct wind flow. Hence proposed a gabion wall, where the rocks are placed according to the anthropometrical activities inside the spaces which gives a view towards the valley. All the rocks used in the gabion wall are collected from the site.

There is always a difference between viewing directly and viewing indirectly at a sight. The indirect look always gives interesting factor and increase an urge to find out about the space. This is also a major factor for this gabion wall where we look through the series of mountains in various perspectives. The walls in between the spaces are poured earth wall where the mud used in the walls are from site which made us easier for the construction. The Floor finish is made of green oxide which helps in keeping the spaces inside cooler than the outside temperature. During summer, the place gets really hot, to avoid that, oxide flooring and open courtyard helps in maintaining cool temperature inside the spaces.

The water body in between the room and the gabion wall helps in reducing the hot air temperature when it travels from outside to the inside. The wood which are used throughout the building are all collected from the scrap and reused to doors, bar table, arm chairs, bar stool and kitchen cabinets. Infinity Pool was designed which gives an amazing experience to swim with a valley mountain view in the opposite. The natural landform of the site is not disturbed and the building is camouflaged with the surrounding which helps in experiencing the nature. The materials used in the building meets the maximum level of sustainability. This building acts as a connecting bridge between the human and the nature.
