Khorakiwala Residence
A private one-of-a-kind experimental house in Alibaug near Mumbai. The concept echoes a deep understanding of centuries of traditional ‘Konkan’ construction techniques albeit interpreted in a contemporary syntax. The site is deeply forested and the architects’ intention was to achieve the final product with a minimum impact on the existing flora, without disturbing nature’s equilibrium.
