Life is more tranquil in rural areas
In the heart of Nashik, India, a unique residential project has emerged, blending seamlessly with its picturesque surroundings. The 1,400-square-foot home, designed by Studio Symbiosis, is a minimalist concrete structure that follows the lay of the land, mimicking the layout of the surrounding countryside.
The architect, Shrutika Raut, aimed to create a home that would belong and become part of the architecture of its setting – the Chartreuse Hills. Raut's design philosophy is a testament to the enduring charm of mountains, a recurring theme in literature, art, and cinema.
Many people prefer the tranquil allure of mountains over the bustling beaches. This preference is evident in the works of Romantic poets who were drawn to the majesty of mountains, and in films like "The Sound of Music" (1965), which features Julie Andrews in the Austrian Alps. The sight of a mountain slope often inspires writers and filmmakers alike, and it seems that Raut has been inspired by Nashik's own chartreuse hills.
The home in question splays across the valley, creating an effect similar to a sleepy-eyed countryside ranch. The horizontal layout of the house is a deliberate choice, designed to blend in with the rolling hills of the valley. The dismay of sunburnt beachgoers is a stark contrast to the charm of mountains, and it appears that Raut has successfully captured the serene beauty of the mountains in this minimalist concrete building.
Despite not being the subject of a sonnet by any bard (yet), this home in Nashik, India, is a testament to the enduring appeal of mountains. It stands as a symbol of harmony between architecture and nature, a home that is not just a structure, but a part of the landscape itself.
