Sympathetically designed to blend into the pristine landscape, the Flintstone6 project features debris wall construction. Using materials from the site, such as soil and waste, it was possible to complete construction despite the supply limits of the COVID-19 pandemic. The layout of the house of 180 square meters was created by Mitte Architects For Mr. Abhishek Upali and Ms. Sunaina.
