To carefully create an enveloping space that offers a sense of safety and groundedness, particular attention was paid to the size of each of the partitions as a way to fine-tune the overall feel.

Status: Completed
Rishikesh, a small Himalayan town has been a center for old-age homes throughout Indian Vedic
History. We emphasized a similar typology to be rebuilt as a senior living for our old age couple clients who were retired from their urban lives after serving in the Middle East.

To carefully create an enveloping space that offers a sense of safety and groundedness, particular
attention was paid to the size of each of the partitions as a way to fine-tune the overall feel. Further, the grounds were surveyed to determine the prevailing wind in order to work out the placement of openings to allow winds to effectively pass through the house. Besides, keeping in mind the spectacular views through the openings. Agreeing to a final residence that offers both comfort and insulation for an elderly couple.
This project supported in not only flourishing the employment model for the village economy, but also as a learning center for women and child education of an almost abandoned village. This project has always been special as it not only cherishes the beauty of nature but also helps in paying humankind, the gift of passing knowledge.
