Architect in Nongstoin
Architecture for Nongstoin, rooted in context.
West Khasi Hills district headquarters — generous plots, village-council-led planning, and quieter context.
Nongstoin is the district headquarters of West Khasi Hills. Plots tend to be more generous than central Shillong's, terrain is less extreme, and projects tend to sit in a context where village-council coordination is part of the picture.
Approval path
KHADC
The studio has routed past Nongstoin submissions through KHADC with village-council (Dorbar Shnong) endorsement. As always, verify with the authority for your specific plot.
