When we designed Oakwood for our library, we envisioned a well-travelled, adventure-loving minimalist—someone who cherished the mountains and wanted every room to frame the panoramic view.

In an incredible turn of events, a client reached out with a dream that mirrored our vision: a cliff side property overlooking the breath taking Sahyadris. His brief was clear—a muted, minimal retreat that blended seamlessly with nature, free from imposing architecture. A monsoon and autumn glassy cabin, designed to embrace the raw beauty of  the monsoon in the Western Ghats.

With three sides of full glass, and a massive skylight above the shower area. It gives you this surreal alfresco shower experience like you’re bathing in the clouds. And to building something that exposed meant the structure had to withstand heavy wind and intense rain. Every fitting, every joint had to be flawless. And on top of that, we had to integrate an RCC base with a steel prefab structure — which is no small feat. But the final outcome… absolutely magical.”

And so just like that, our concept found its perfect plot, perched above the peak.
