---

This jumbled house in India features an elevated steel tunnel, bridged corridors and a rooftop swimming pool on stilts. Designed by Indian studio Malik Architecture, House at Alibag is located on a hilltop facing the Mumbai skyline. Faceted walls and ceilings line rooms throughout the house and are perforated by both rectangular and triangular windows. At the centre of the three-storey building is an open courtyard, over-sailed by bridges connecting rooms on the first and second floors. The angled tunnel that drives through the upper storeys of the house encloses a bedroom at each end, joined by another of these bridges. The rooftop swimming pool shelters an external terrace at the rear of the house.
