Located around 160 km west of the capital city Kathmandu, Amarapuri is the small village bounded by Mukundapur VDC in the east, Rajahar VDC in the west, and the Narayani River in the south.
This village is beautifully located on a hilly area above the plain that adjoins the Narayani River. It is situated in the lap of Mahabharata hill range
CONCEPT
An amalgamation of Nepali and Scandinavian homes.
Paying homage to Nepali architecture with the earthiness of natural materials and open courtyard, while combining practicality and coziness of “hygge” of a Scandinavian home.

A double-height courtyard with a skylight welcomes you as soon as you enter the area, interconnecting the living space and kitchen/dining, all based on an open floor plan.
Through the courtyard, access to the rooftop is provided that exhibits a panoramic view of the hilltops.
Bedrooms are tucked away on the rear end but open up to a beautiful wide balcony that overlooks the garden.

The villa correlates with the local heritage and craftsmanship found within the community.
The soothing warm color tone of timber and stucco walls radiate a natural aura. The building has a metal skeleton that contributes to its light-weightiness.
