Inside This Stunning Home Carved Into the Indian Hills | Ekasham House

ByMyProperty Life

Tucked away at the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, Ekasham House blends old and new structures into a single, monolithic silhouette. Designed with care and precision, this private residence in the Shivalik range of India offers over two thousand one hundred seventy square meters of serenity, elegance, and seamless integration with the natural surroundings.

This architectural masterpiece features a rooftop with built-in seating, an outdoor lounge with acrylic inlay patterns, a circular fireplace, and a barbecue station — creating a social landscape that blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Its limestone brise-soleils, CNC-cut and suspended with hidden steel framing, filter light while dissolving the building’s mass and creating tranquil courtyards throughout.

Inside, a flowing Gwalior Mint stone wall leads to a gaming retreat anchored by a built-in bar, brass inlays, and custom furnishings that elevate comfort and style. The middle level houses two distinct bedrooms and workspaces, united by a shared lounge that reflects individuality and harmony.

The spa-like ground floor is a true sanctuary. Nude-toned walls and ceilings merge softly, while a curving wall forms cozy alcoves for spa and lounge areas. A seamless circular hot tub wrapped in kit-kat tiles, a brushed stainless steel ceiling above the steam room, and porcelain-clad benches offer luxury rooted in subtlety and tactility.

Ekasham House is more than a home — it’s a retreat that speaks softly yet powerfully. It embraces its natural environment, honors local materials, and redefines contemporary mountain living.

    Situated in Tulum, this small boutique hotel rises between the trees, in which the main concept consisted in preserving 70% of the existing vegetation in order to build around it. By achieving this, every space of the project is always in relation to its natural surroundings. The hotel has five 50m2 lodges, formed by a double height room, a mezzanine or “tapanco”, a terrace and an indoor-outdoor bathroom. At the back of the lot the social areas are located, with a dining space and yoga pavilion hanging in cantilever over the pool. The main idea of this water element is to be extruded from the ground in between the vegetation. For this reason, two old zapote trees were preserved, which look as they were rising from the pool itself. All the project is composed by local materials, as well as low maintenance and natural textures, which provide a warm atmosphere to the buildings. A particular finish found on the walls is “chukum”, a Mayan stucco characteristic of the region, which uses a tree resin to give its distinctive color, appearance and durability. The objective was to use materials that age with dignity, so that with the passing of time the architecture acquires character and a deeper sense of belonging. The different volumes of the complex are scattered along the lot, between the trees and stone paths, which provide a sensation of being in a small village in the Mayan jungle. Throughout the design process there was a search for pure forms and natural materials that could blend with the surrounding context. In a sense, Jungle Keva is like an abstraction or simplification of vernacular architecture, easy to read, simple and with a social, natural and economic conscience.
