The undulating white walls are inspired by the dynamics and material of a cloth as Nyori is the Malayalam word for the pleats that are made in traditional clothing. It is designed for a family looking for a [peaceful retreat away from urban environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cloud-house). The studio explains, "The design was shaped by the clients' desire for a simple, peaceful life away from the city. The flowing, wave-like lines on the facade, which evoke the graceful movement of pleats in traditional Indian clothing, create a sense of softness. They also integrate the modern design with the natural surroundings, enhancing the house's tranquil, retreat-like atmosphere."
