Architecture Design of Glasshouse Celeste

Description About The Project

Glasshouse Celeste designed by IDIEQ, this house allows residents to enjoy the beautiful mountain view from every corner of the property. The house offers a panoramic view of the Himalayan peaks to its occupants. The client wanted a simple, comfortable weekend place, far from the chaos of a bustling city. The residence located atop a hillock with a generous view of the mountains. Also, the objective of the project is to maximize this luxury so residents can enjoy the stunning views while inside the house.

On the other hand, the client believes that the house should be designed to look out, not be looked at. IDIEQ decided to dispense with elaborate traditional Indian interiors and unnecessary mod cons. In addition to this, the client only wanted to capture all the ultimate luxury from a bed in a bedroom with a sweeping view of the mountains. Instead of using contemporary heavy Indian boxes, the bedrooms have floating beds. Besides, in the living area, the architect deliberately sunk the sitting into the floor to avoid any obstacles as occupants looked through one glass wall across the other. They also positioned the opening through all the spaces to permit a fascinating view.

Indeed, Glasshouse Celeste takes onlookers by surprise. It is a simple block of glass that has been built to look diverse from each angle. The mix of glass, paint, concrete, and wood on the facade changes as one moves around, because of the ever-transforming perspectives of interiors which go along.

The landscaping also planned to maximize the panoramic view of the clear and pollution -free sky from every corner of the property. To achieve this, planets spread across the greenery of the garden and created textures of various planets with natural stone. This detail inspired the name of the project: Celeste.

Moreover, the architect shares that the Glasshouse Celeste harvests all its water needs from rainwater stored next to a steam bath in the Southern part of the property. The elevated slab on the rainwater harvesting tank another spot and landscaped to enjoy gusting winds from the West.

The slanted glass on the corridor blocks weather but not the natural environs around.

In the bathroom, the bath tub and the wall matches the tone perfectly.

Text by the Architects: Atop a hillock, overlook a panoramic view of the Himalayan peaks. The clients, Sourabh Upadhyay, Aman & Ankush Rohilla knew from the very start that the house should be designed more to look out, rather than be looked at. Driving up from Jim Corbett National Park towards Ranikhet, a tiny spiraling road opens to this meadow – like soft landscape where Himalayan mules were the only help to carry materials to the top. Since the challenge at hand was to build the glass pavilion in this untouched wilderness, where transportation was a major setback, it was decided to keep the whole house at one level, avoid excessive vertical structural elements.
