Architect Amey Kandalgaonkar designs a minimalist modern house inside a giant ancient rock.

Inspired by the Mada’in Saleh rock tombs in Saudi Arabia, architectural designer Amey Kandalgaonkar has conceived a modern home embedded into the side of an enormous rock. Exploring this subtractive method of construction, the idea introduces concrete slabs which cut through the rock in clean angular vectors. Kandalgoankar, who is a master of creating 3D concept renders continues to develop fictional reinterpretations of historical precedents with his modernist pagoda.
