House in a Field

Nadiad, Gujarat

Residence for a young couple, located amidst an organic farm. The design tries to explore the
idea of living ‘in-between’, through spaces like verandas & courtyards, to build a soulful dialogue
between the ‘built’ and nature. The site was far away from the city for a young couple who were generously and passionately
spending time with their farm. The building responds to three interdependent design decisions to simultaneously affect the
layout, the choice of construction system and the siting of the building within the farmland.The design incorporates rain-water harvesting, ground-water recharge, reed-bed based waste water
treatment and ecological landscape using local species.

Clients: Brinda & Vivek
Climate: Hot & Dry
Area: 225 Sq.M
Status: Unbuilt
