The Reserve
Not another plotted development. A deliberately limited community of thoughtfully designed homes, held together by land, forest and quiet.
Shukrana Mountain Reserve sits above Dolsi Village in Tehsil Dhanaulti, within District Tehri Garhwal — shaped with restraint, low density and long horizons as the governing principles.

The Land Today
Actual site — Dolsi Village, Tehsil Dhanaulti

Architecture
Homes set into the hill, not on top of it.
The cottages are being studied in stone, seasoned timber and lime plaster, with slate roofs and deep decks that follow the contour rather than flatten it. Each design is held to the same material language, so the Reserve reads as one place rather than a collection of houses.
