Mountain Dust House / Mahesh Naik

Concept - The idea was to stitch the house ( the Man ) with the three attributes-  the huge towering mountain, the sun rising, and the moon. This led to a  sacred knot - a Triskelion geometry for the house. This geometrical system gives the house more surface area, giving a maximum 360-degree view of the surrounding mountain. The program's requirement, together with this unique triskelion geometrical system in response to the site context and the climatic condition with the minimal natural material palette, generated the Form of the house from within. The external appearance of the house is the natural result of the process. Thus, the house Form expresses a highly specific relationship to the site and the client's program.
