A Journey Through the Roads of Darjeeling

Being from the plains and lived in the plains since childhood, the roads of Darjeeling intrigued me the most during our visit. They are completely different from the straight, orthogonal mundane roads, where due to the high altitude, the curvature of the roads follows the form of the landscape, which shifts the focal points and hence creates a surprise element. Taking inspiration from the journey I developed my concept that revolves around a similar idea to create spaces that take you on the Journey of the roads of Darjeeling and taking inspiration from the facades of the buildings.
