Spread over a substantial plot area, this house is located at Alibaug in the picturesque Raigad district. With ‘ecologically conscious design’ as the operational maxim, Banglore based Shahrukh Mistry Architects have triumphantly patterned a close-to-nature atmosphere for a family retreat. Uninterrupted serenity is the key element of design in this generous abode. Open to guests all year around, and to periodic meditation camps which are a regular feature of the household, the home is extremely low on maintenance and very strong on design aesthetics.
