Set against the rugged slopes of the Aravalli hills, this hillside villa feels a world removed from the city, yet sits within easy reach of Delhi and Faridabad. Rocky ridgelines rise behind the house, palms and conifers frame the lawns, and the air carries the stillness of open countryside. On clear evenings, the sky above the ridge fades from amber to deep blue, and the city feels much further away than it is.

Mornings here belong to the view. Draw back the curtains to green canopies and craggy hilltops, then step out with a cup of chai to watch the sun warm the rock face. The three bedrooms are calm and uncluttered, dressed in crisp white linen, warm wood and soft accent lighting, with large windows that keep the outdoors close. One of them looks straight across the pool towards the hills.
