The Palay house is located in an old cluster of Phey village houses which have been abandoned by the newer generation. These modest and earthen village houses built incrementally over a period of 200-300 years ago are now in a dilapidated condition and need revival.

The project aims to be a Makerspace and Research Centre of Himalayan material culture. The cultural space aims to be a pioneering influence on the process of urban development in a fragile ecosystem, by generating circular economies deeply rooted in the region's cultural heritage.

The project space will include:
- Residential facilities for scholars and partners
- Spaces for collaborative making
- Studios for various materials research
- Library and archives of regional relevance
