Project description
Since the beginning of human history, caves have carried a deep significance, both spiritually and culturally. They served as humanity’s first homes, offering refuge from harsh climates and predators. Over time, caves became more than just places to live, they were sites of ritual and creativity. Caves remind us that architecture didn’t start with towering cities—it began with the simple act of finding shelter and then turning it into something meaningful— a home.
Linear façade composition with horizontal slit windows, stone cladding, and cantilevered balconies emphasize minimalism, privacy, and sharp geometric articulation.
Curved wooden staircase, exposed brick jaali, and indoor courtyard blend biophilic design with warm textures and open-plan spatial fluidity.
Exposed brick jaali, curved staircase, and skylight create a dramatic interplay of light, texture, and indoor-outdoor spatial fluidity.
Minimalist corridor with sleek flooring, horizontal windows, and clean lines emphasizes linearity, natural light, and functional spatial transition.
Its white and stone façade is complemented by a sleek boundary wall that protects the private realm within.
