Overview

A weekend house on a site in Karjat, about ninety kilometres from

Mumbai, where the Western Ghats push annual rainfall past 3,000 mm.

That single fact drives the scheme: how far the roof projects, where

water goes, which faces can open and which have to be protected. The

plan is organised around a covered outdoor edge so the house is usable

in monsoon and shaded through summer. Scope covered design through

[drawings / GFC / execution].
