Atariya
A metal staircase from the ‘Darbar’ leads us to the ‘Atariya’, which is our name for the Attic. The steps lead to a triangular prism space with clear head height along the center.
The space on the left is separated by a partition wall rising all the way up to the ceiling, with a Dutch door. The space on the right leads straight to the other side which ends with a window facing east.
This has mesmerizing view of the local shelters seated in the lap of the mountain and one can glimpse rare birds flying across the clear blue sky every now and then. The mid part of this section has another window bringing in warmth from south.
The doors to each of our enchanted homes are open now. Come, experience the magic of living in a one-of-a-kind, hand sculpted, mud home.
