Along the high contours of Port Blair, Kuhu is a home for a six-member family that blends simplicity with grandeur. Its language is minimal, with basic geometries and an elliptical ramp leading to the entrance as a welcoming gesture.

A vintage car showcase on the ground floor, guest suites, a family level with a circular infinity pool and a landscaped terrace rise in linear, inclined massing that follows the terrain and frames views of the Bay of Bengal.
