Baankahi is the newest addition to our studio’s work — a restaurant born from the land it stands on.

The architecture follows the language of the traditional Assam-type bungalow — a form long rooted in the tea gardens of the region. Built with ekra looking walls, generous verandahs, and sloped roofs suited to the heavy monsoons, the structure carries a familiar rhythm while being crafted entirely with materials and skills that belong here. Inside, mahogany and teak sit alongside hand-woven cane furniture, made by local artisans, keeping alive a culture of making that is both resourceful and refined. It’s a space that doesn’t imitate heritage — it continues it, thoughtfully and with care.

Designed with love and memory - Zellige handmade tiles dance across the wall in patterns and hues deeply familiar to the Angami tribe.

Just an hour away from Guwahati, Pobitora National Park quietly holds a world record - the highest density of one - horned rhinos.

It's not only about the rhinos, though. The floodplains are alive with rare birds, wild buffalo's, and that unmistakably stillness only such type of nature can offer.

We've just finished tucked at the banks of Brahmaputra - a space shaped by Assamese tradition, wholesome food and slow rhythm of the wild.

More soon!
