This house in Luing makes the most of its south-facing position, catching plenty of winter sunlight and offering stunning views of Gangtok and the hills around it. The split-level design follows the natural slope of the land, blending public and private spaces smoothly. Semi-open areas connect the inside with the outdoors, and the bedroom blocks are positioned to keep the house looking low-profile and integrated with its surroundings.

At Assamlingzey, this retreat includes a restaurant on the east side, with a bar, kitchen, and changing rooms to the south. These areas open up to a swimming pool in a flatter section of the site. The design arranges the buildings to make the most of the views and functionality, while the cottages are spread out across the land to fit naturally with the landscape.
