Entry Description

This villa, located near Gazipur, takes inspiration from the surrounding landscapes. The design aims to create a labyrinth-like journey through the estate, which includes a courtyard, five bedrooms and a living-dining space under a large super-roof. Local resources and handcrafted materials are used for construction. Further, the villa touches the ground lightly, allowing flora and fauna to thrive. Significant trees are preserved, with void spaces incorporated into the roof and ground plate to accommodate them. This project balances modern living and nature preservation with local culture.
