At first, Sukoon was a drawing on paper—lines and ideas shaped by a longing to build a home in the hills. I wanted light to fall softly on stone, wind to move through open spaces, and every wall to feel part of the land it stood on.

 

Together with architect Upendra Narayan, we built it slowly—around boulders that refused to move, a fig tree that insisted on growing through the courtyard, and materials that carried their own stories. It became a home where wood, sky, and silence found their place.

 

Now, the forest has found it too. Mornings begin with the chatter of bulbuls and the shimmer of sunbirds as they feed on scarlet clock vine flowers. At night, a snake may slide past the garden wall. What began as a design journey has become something far richer—a quiet coexistence with the life around us.

​

Sukoon, once a project, is now a living canvas. The blog traces that evolution—from architecture and craft to these daily encounters with the wild. It is a journal of making and of being—of learning that home is not only what we build, but what chooses to visit and stay.​​
