Bird's Nest

Perched on a contoured site in Barabkunda, Chattogram, the Bird’s Nest is an elevated bungalow shaped to harmonise with its landscape while holding privacy and long views. Lifted off the ground to ease access, limit site disruption and capture the outlook, its form is two elevated box volumes split and reunited by a vertical circulation core — clean solid masses set against louvred screens. Those louvred façades do triple duty: privacy from the nearby ship-breaking yard, a visual buffer, and uninterrupted natural ventilation. A bridge links the roof level to the eastern hill, opening a spatial dialogue between the built form and the terrain — a modern retreat that blends solitude, openness and sculptural form within nature’s embrace.
