The walkthrough
Eighty seconds inside the house
Shot on location: the approach through the pines, both floors, the glass wall from the inside, and the deck at the edge of the valley.
The idea
Some houses sit in a landscape.This one is folded into it,and the clouds arrive first.
SkyGrove is a three-bedroom A-frame at 2,133 metres, built where the pine line meets the valley. Floor-to-ceiling glass on every side, a chef who cooks in the house, and a deck that looks straight down into the mist.
Arrival
A silhouette against the hills
Slate-grey shingles and a wall of black glass, folded into a hillside of terraced green. SkyGrove is the house people slow down to look at.
The Glass House
Nature, floor to ceiling
The living room seats ten under the full height of the A-frame, with panoramic glass that pulls the valley indoors. Mist rolls past while you are still on your first coffee.
Rest
Wake up inside the view
Three bedrooms, every one with a king bed, an attached bath with hot water, and its own frame of the hills. Fresh linen, quiet mornings.
Evenings
Fire, food and city lights
As Kodaikanal lights up below, the villa glows. Campfire and barbecue on the lawn, dinner cooked in-house by the villa's own chef, and a sky full of stars.
