TreeVilla at Forest Hills / Architecture BRIO
The Tree Villa perches on the cliff of a 160 acre hilltop ‘treesort’ property surrounded by a meandering river landscape. The idyllic setting in Tala on the West coast of India, is a stone’s throw away from the Kuda caves. Nearly 20 centuries ago, Buddhist monks instinctively understood the qualities of this meditative landscape and made the hills their home.

Delhi Home, India
The three-level home is buttressed from below by a warmly lit basement meant solely for the purpose of entertaining guests; that rounds out the spaces on this plot of land which is abutted by thick foliage. Saini worked with landscaping studio Waho to complement the already-existing green lung, and even found space for a 3-metre-narrow pool alongside the house.
