Copper House II / Studio Mumbai

“It seeks to understand the landscape it denies, explain the world it excludes, bring in the nature it fears and summarises all of this in an architectural composition.”

Let’s celebrate living environments that blend into their natural surroundings as well as protect against them, offer natural light, seductive flow, and elegantly combine the materials of wood, glass + concrete. Located in Mumbai, India, the Copper House Studio, also known as the Monsoon House, is a peaceful, modern retreat for the city dweller.
