Designing a home on a one-acre farm requires a balance between architecture and the land. At the Celadon residence, we blurred the edges between built space and nature to create a sanctuary that breathes.

An exterior view of the Celadon residence, showing how the built form is nestled into the lush landscape. The koi pond wraps around the edge of the home, creating a natural moat that connects the structure to the garden.

A quiet corner of the covered verandah, demonstrating our tropical modernism approach. This space provides a sheltered outdoor seating area that feels both part of the garden and an extension of the home's interior.

The interior lounge is visually connected to the central courtyard through expansive glass walls. This design choice ensures that the garden and natural light are a constant presence within the home, fostering a sense of calm and openness.

About Ground-Level Havens: The Celadon Farm Retreat

The koi pond at Celadon is more than a water feature. It acts as a structural anchor that defines the boundary between the formal living areas and private residential wings. We designed this deep, multi-layered water body to regulate the temperature of the courtyard and provide a constant, grounding auditory element, proving that even a large 10,000 sq ft home can feel intimate and connected to the earth.

We are Komal and Muzamil, the designers behind this practice. We believe every space should tell a story, and at Celadon, we let the landscape lead the narrative to build a home that feels like an extension of the earth.
