Nila House opened in October 2019 as a vibrant centre for cultural exchange, featuring open studios, collection showrooms, an archive and research library, an exhibition gallery, a textile vault, and artists-in-residence spaces. Originally built as a family home in the 1940s, it was carefully restored over nearly two years. The structure showcases local, natural materials, including araish lime plaster, jute furnishings, and handmade paper railings, preserving traditional craftsmanship and sustainability.
