Windveil

The Garud Residence, crafted for the elite Divyashree Garuds, perches atop the Arcunach Arches in Darshan, embodying their elevated lifestyle and reverence for height, strength, and the skies. Positioned on the highest arches, where only the wealthiest build, it asserts power—unyielding and defiant of nature. A lightweight Calcium Phosphate frame, draped in translucent Induri fabric, forms a graceful veil against the rugged Arunach terrain. The design respects the Garud’s physicality and hierarchy, with high-level entrances. Core spaces provide shelter, while outer zones capture light, air, and panoramic views.
