Amidst the greens of Nashik, A Nook in a Polyhouse reimagines landscape planning as an intimate dialogue between architecture and ecology. Rather than asserting itself, the project thrives in its restraint—light on the land, yet rich in meaning. It is not just a space within nature, but of nature—shaped by seasons, sounds, and the gentle pulse of life. The polyhouse is treated not as a shell, but as a nurturing frame for both botanical and human growth.

 

The design’s brilliance lies in its purposeful minimalism. Reclaimed packing wood, cane furniture from local artisans, and exposed brick reflect a deeply rooted ethos. Movable elements—floating floors, retractable shade nets—make the space flexible and alive, evolving with time rather than freezing it. Here, impermanence is celebrated, creating a circular system where the landscape adapts and thrives.

 

Most of all, A Nook in a Polyhouse is a landscape that feels. It breathes with the mist, hums with laughter, and listens to the soil. It is this rare empathy—designing not to impress, but to harmonize—that makes it a deserving winner of Asia’s Best Landscape Planning 2025.

The Princess, The Silk Village, and The Hotel That Refused to Shout: Inside Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa

Named 2026 Asia’s Best Hospitality Architecture Design at the Asia Architecture Design Awards, the Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hotel makes a contrarian case: in Asia’s fastest-growing tourism market, the most valuable architecture is the kind that defers to its place - and is built to last decades, not news cycles.
