The farmhouse spread over 70,000 square feet is located on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The whole plot was green heaven with thick plantation which enveloped built forms which are placed in planned pockets across the plot. The transition paths between built form and green were done with Kota stone which goes along with the surroundings. We wanted to extend the sense of comfort, creativity, and luxury in this spacious farmhouse.

The main building block includes 1 spacious living room with a smaller dining space overlooking the kitchen and 3 bedrooms spread over two floors along with the terrace. All these built forms a connection via curved pathways which creates a dramatic feeling as we move.

There are dense plantations on both sides of the pathways making the connection between different units very interesting and adding an element of surprise. As one moves along the path slowly the building is unveiled. Originally when the client thought of developing this plot as their weekend home/farmhouse, the area was predominantly covered with green bamboo plants. All of these plants were retained during the development stage and hence the name - “BAMBOOZ FARM”.

The concept behind the design was to create architecture that would be provided for a great functional blending between the built mass and the landscaped areas, and simultaneously would give us an opportunity to create a visual contrast between the two.

As we had a very powerful landscaping around the buildings, we had to create humble but powerful architecture. The design of all the units were kept minimal and cubic, with a monochromatic outer terracotta look. Although the form of all units were simple the color itself made it stand out amidst lush green surroundings and blue sky.
