Whispering Arc House / IDIEQ

Nestled in the tranquil Bhabar region of Uttarakhand, adjacent to the Jim Corbett National Park, Whispering Arc is a contemplative retreat that merges human ingenuity with natural grace. Conceived as a four-bedroom farmstay, the project explores a delicate equilibrium between raw materiality, sustainability, and the poetry of place. The journey begins with a bold gesture: a red Corten steel gate that stands as both threshold and artwork. Set against the verdant landscape, its warm rusted tones mark the transition into a sanctuary where architecture feels rooted in the earth and open to the skies. This entry sets the tone for a project deeply attuned to its surroundings.

In their ancestral village, which is rapidly transforming into a satellite town of a major industrial city, Amandeep Singh Virk and his wife Rajveer Kaur envisioned a home that would echo sustainability. The site selection was evident: right where their old, dilapidated house stood. The couple resisted leaving their comfort zone; this was the place where Amandeep had grown up, surrounded by family.

Atop a hillock, overlooking 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, avoiding excessive vertical structural elements.
