A reading bench looks out to the garden.

In each room, the toilet walls are finished in ‘kadappah’ – a black stone cut in to tiles.

A peaceful library offers a moment of contemplation in an inspiring environment. All the buildings of the Kumaon are equipped for rainwater harvesting with a drainage system that brings collected water from the roofs to a large holding tank at the bottom of the site.

The top floor of the home offers striking views of the surrounding dunes and North Sea. Simply accented with a suspended bubble chair by Aarnio Eero, the viewing platform is the owners’ favorite part of the home.
