The late legendary architect and landscape artist Charles Jencks’s lifelong interest in cosmology, the science of the planets, was realised in his last project—The House of Light in New Delhi, owned by designer Shalini Misra. The house breaks all boundaries in its spiralling, circular form, and the landscape tracks the cosmic swirl in twists and folds. Seven moon gates rise along a meditative path based on the Hindu philosophy of vyatireka. And, an alluring addition—an infinity pool that closes the figure of eight.
