Privé lit at night on the hillside above Nathia Gali

You arrive in the mid of it.

The section

Four levels above the door. Four below it.

The road meets the building halfway up the slope. Everything above the entrance rises to the penthouse; everything below it steps down the hillside, level by level, until the mountain takes over.

No residence looks at a neighbour. All of them look at open valley.

Loft and penthouse, second, first — then the road — then four levels down to the base.

You walk in through the restaurant.

Test Kitchen by Grey sits at the level the road meets.

At the door

The heart of the building is its kitchen.

A bar set against full-height glass, a terrace over the valley, and a dining room that looks straight at the range. Reception sits beside it under a double-height volume, with a library off the lobby.

It is the reason to come up here in February as much as in July.

Six residences, each one with its own fire.

Two levels above the road, one below.

The residences

One continuous room, eleven feet to the ceiling.

Bedroom, lounge and bathroom in a single volume. Oak, concrete, warm light, and the same timber lattice that runs through the rest of the building.

Outside each one, a private terrace with an open fireplace, a dining table, and the valley in front of it. Small rooms done properly, rather than large rooms done cheaply.

Bed, lounge and terrace running together as one room

And then the morning arrives.

The whole valley, from your own bed.

The penthouse loft bed at golden hour, the living room visible below through the mesh floor

The penthouse sleeps above its own living room.

There is one, and there will only ever be one.

At the top

A double-height volume, glazed to the apex.

The bed sits on a timber mezzanine open to the room below. Lounge, dressing room, kitchenette and powder room beneath it; the loft bedroom above, with its own bathroom and a hammock lounge looking down over the living room.

Outside, a terrace laid for dinner under the sky.

A lobby that borrows the mountain.

Four levels below the road.

Below the door

The mountain was brought inside.

The lower levels sit against the hillside with no outlook of their own, so a backlit stone wall runs the length of the corridor, lit from within, with the stair cut through it.

Beyond it, a residents' lounge with its own kitchenette, a private cinema, a games room, and reeded glass doors that hold the quiet in. The main kitchen, the linen rooms and the staff are down here too, out of sight of the residences.

Built for the months everyone else closes.

On the artery road, cleared on priority through snow.

Own it. Let it work. Never run it.

Privé is operated year round by the team behind The Grey, House of Grey, The Den and Kaiyo. Owners take a share of gross revenue; the operator's share carries every operating cost, including staffing, housekeeping, utilities, marketing and maintenance.

House of Grey, our three-bedroom property in the same valley, has been achieving PKR 150,000 a night at sixty per cent occupancy across the year. Privé is modelled on that record and not on a better one.

Areas, price, the payment plan and the full revenue model are sent on request. Test Kitchen by Grey is operated separately and its revenue forms no part of the residence revenue share.

Six residences, and we would rather sell them to six people we can talk to.

Write to us and we will send the floor plans, the payment plan and the full revenue model — and find you a time to walk the site.
