Hushstay x Khaas is a home where heritage, craftsmanship, and slow luxury come together through architecture. Designed and built by renowned architects and designers working in sustainability and local Himachali craft, the structure rises from the ridge in the traditional kath-kuni style — deodar wood and stone interlocked in a unique manner.
The tower with a skydeck (aaKaash) marks the home’s most defining silhouette, standing tall above the trees and offering uninterrupted views of the Western Himalayas on one side and the deep Deodar forest on the other — a vantage point that immediately sets the tone for the stay.
From this elevated perch, the home unfolds gradually into its living spaces. On the second floor, two warm, sun-washed bedrooms form an independent 2-bedroom unit with a private verandah. The first floor opens into three beautiful bedrooms that form the 3-bedroom unit. The 6th room in the house is reserved for the owners. Throughout, sweeping windows frame ever-changing ridgelines and balconies become open viewpoints, inviting you to pause, breathe, and simply look outward.
At the heart of the home lie the common spaces — a welcoming living area, a cosy dining space, a foyer lounge with sloping ceilings, a pool table, and a Marshall speaker that sets the mood for long evenings. And then the conservatory: an all-glass room embraced by towering deodars, where sunlight glows softly through the day and conversations stretch long into the night. Here, the sun wraps you in sardi ki dhoop as you enjoy garam garm chai — a memory that stays long after the holiday ends. Gentle aesthetics, layered textures, and shelves of thoughtful books create corners made for romance — whether shared between two or felt in the warmth of a big family gathering.
Outdoors, the home opens into a serene garden space where bonfire nights unfold under a sky full of stars, the flames flickering against the silhouette of the forest. Every inch of Khaas is designed to make you slow down — to connect more deeply with your companion, your family, or the mountains themselves. A home for pauses and possibilities.
