Imagine spending your working day on a mountaintop, connecting in real time with clients from a bioclimatic structure in one of the planet’s most beautiful and remote corners? This is the idea behind Pankhasari Retreat, a new co-working and co-living concept (still in construction) from Carlo Ratti Associati. Situated in West Bengal, near the border with Sikkim, the project aims to promote sustainable tourism and digital nomadism.

Says Carlo Ratti:

Though a mountain top might be a bit extreme to some, the Himalayan valley of Pankhasari is an ideal place for staying connected and testing new longer- term concepts of international living and working, trying to build a bridge between the local and the global communities.
