The hospitality project in Sikkim is rooted in the quiet poetry of offering—a gesture embodied by the khada, the ceremonial scarf that carries with it blessings, goodwill, and reverence. Each color of the khada unfolds into a spatial experience—arrival, gathering, rest, reflection—stitched together like verses in a prayer, forming a journey of welcome and belonging. Inspired by the proportions of the Bhutia house, the architecture rests low and steady, embracing the land with a sense of stillness and intimacy. Ikra walls, a traditional technique using bamboo or wooden frames with various infills like woven cane, earth, or stone, are reinterpreted with modern materials as flexible partition and screening systems, filtering light, holding silence, and framing moments. The design language speaks softly, in textures of the hand, the rhythm of footsteps, and the warmth of material, offering guests not just shelter, but presence. High Resolution Portfolio here.
