Architect in Nongtraw
Architecture for Nongtraw, rooted in context.
A quieter East Khasi Hills locality — community-led planning and contextual private residential work.
Nongtraw's work tends toward private homes rooted in the village fabric — materials, massing, and access responding to the site and the community around it.

Designing for Nongtraw
What shapes a project here.
01
Climate to design for
East Khasi Hills climate — heavy monsoon, cool year-round. Roof form, moisture protection, and cross-ventilation lead the detailing.
02
Typical plot
Often larger, community-adjacent plots. Siting responds to neighbours, paths, and water sources as much as formal setbacks.
03
Approval path
KHADC with Dorbar Shnong endorsement on our prior work here.
