Hillside Cottage & Retaining Wall
Engineered stone revetment foundation with cantilevered timber balconies overlooking the valley.
A house in the mountains begins with the land beneath it. Amelia Infratech plans and builds private homes in Mukteshwar, Kasauli and Dharamshala, bringing design, engineering and construction together around each site.
From initial geological site assessment to custom turnkey architectural delivery.
Site-Specific Planning
A steep approach, seasonal rain, slope stability and drainage can shape a project long before the floor plan is final.
We look at access, sunlight, views, ground conditions and local requirements at the outset, then plan the structure and living spaces accordingly.
The result should work on an ordinary day as well as on a holiday: comfortable rooms, practical storage, reliable services and outdoor spaces that can actually be used.

What We Do
Amelia Infratech provides an integrated, end-to-end building solution across the mountains — managing planning, hill engineering, construction, and finishing under one roof.
Review the plot, approach road, orientation, levels, available services and the approvals that may be needed before design and construction begin.
Develop the layout and coordinate structural design, drainage, water, electrical systems and material choices for the site.
Manage civil and structural work, roofing, waterproofing, finishes and on-site coordination, with attention to the details that matter in a mountain climate.
Plan kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, lighting, terraces, pathways and planting as part of a coherent home.
Bring the design and build stages under one coordinated process, from early discussions to final finishing and handover.

Our Approach
Engineering & Finishes
Locations
Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand • Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh • Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh
We plan and construct private residential homes across three distinct mountain regions in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh — engineering each dwelling around local topography, sun orientation, climate, and site access.

Here, a good plan makes the most of changing light and long views while taking the slope, access and rainwater movement seriously.

Kasauli’s wooded setting and sloping sites call for careful decisions about building footprint, privacy and arrival.

In Dharamshala, orientation can be as important as the view. We consider exposure to rain, access and sheltered outdoor spaces.
