About this document
Traditional House Designs of Sikkim by Koushik is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Sikkim has a mountainous terrain with cold weather. Traditional house designs in Sikkim are influenced by the local Lepcha and Bhutia tribes. The houses have sloped roofs to shed rain and mist, as the climate is wet for most of the year. External features include sloping roofs and details on pillars and overhanging eaves, reflecting Tibetan influences in the architecture.
