Brick by brick, stone by stone.
Constructed using the old ways of binding hand chipped stone with chuna, this village retreat like was designed keeping in mind the rugged, sparse landscape that surrounds it. Many, independent units open into central, communal spaces to maximize interaction with the landscape while being stark structures across it. The indigenous Chhaija stone and old-school exposed stone masonry make for a naturally insulated, zero-maintainence structure that is built to last through harsh desert conditions.
Watching as it takes shape.
