We believe a farmhouse should emerge from the land, not be imposed upon it. Our designs prioritize the existing ecosystem, using local materials to craft retreats that feel timeless.

The 'Grid in the Grove' farmhouse was designed to be in complete harmony with its surroundings. The facade, with its terracotta roof and traditional details, is perfectly framed by the coconut and areca nut palms.

About Rustic Retreats & Farmhouses

When we design a farmhouse, we do not start with a blueprint—we start with the trees on your plot. At our Amberle project in Yelagiri, we kept every single mature tree standing, adjusting our building footprint to weave the house into the grove. This approach ensures your retreat feels like it has always belonged to that specific patch of earth.

This is the heart of a home, a traditional *thotti mane* or courtyard, built right in the middle of bustling Basavanagudi. It pulls the sky and rain inside, creating a living, breathing space that connects the family with the elements. The exposed laterite stone wall and classic rain chains complete this tranquil urban oasis.8

A home should flow. Here, the dining area opens to a courtyard on one side and a sit-out on the other, blurring the lines between inside and out. The archway frames the kitchen, which features an accent wall with a Lohi lime finish, creating layers of texture and warmth.
