Gautam’s Home: A blend of Contemporary Design and Himalayan contextual elements:
Maurya Gautam’s home carefully combines natural stone, wood, and sleek metalwork. Despite the challenges posed by the relentless rains of the monsoon season, construction slowly and steadily progressed. While we are approaching the completion of the family home, the mountain architecture interior quality emerges.
Expansive windows bathe the interiors in natural light, while the airy attic and the pop-out room offer stunning, unobstructed views of the Trishul, Nanda Devi, and Mrigthuni mountain ranges.
One of the home’s standout features is the spiral staircase, soon to be embellished with the designed pattern of glass and timber inserts. The staircase space on all levels will welcome subtle shadow patterns as the sun moves across the blue sky and as the moon moves in the night.
The home's robust metal framework ensures a structural durability and flexibility needed in earthquake prone environments. The connect between nature and interior is turning each view into a framed living landscape. Once completed, this serene retreat will provide a peaceful haven for film maker/ camera man Maurya Gautam, his mum and his sis. Expectations are that the family will be able to move by the cold end of the year, perhaps there will be a White Christmas. . .
