Farmhouse and Pavilion Architecture

My approach to farmhouse and pavilion design rejects the traditional suburban villa typology in favor of a site-specific architectural language. Each project begins with a reading of the landscape. Whether utilizing exposed concrete volumes that cantilever over the earth or steel structures that frame the horizon, the intent is to create a transition between the interior and the garden.

Material Logic and Construction

I employ a palette of raw materials that age with grace. Exposed concrete, zinc, and timber-laced stonework are selected not for their aesthetic alone, but for their structural honesty.

• Structural Cantilevers: By using long-span cantilevers and steel trusses, I create column-free spaces that offer unobstructed views of the landscape.
• Precast Technology: For modern estates, I utilize precast concrete and modular wall panels, which allows for precise detailing and reduced on-site material waste.
• Climate Response: Incorporating brise-soleil, perforated steel jaali screens, and deep overhangs allows the building to self-regulate temperature, drawing natural light while shielding against the harsh glare of the Indian summer.

The Pavilion as Typology

I treat the pavilion as an exercise in reduction. These structures, often serving as pool houses or meditation spaces, prioritize transparency and lightness. Through the use of slender steel frames and floor-to-ceiling glass, the barrier between the inhabitant and the natural environment is dissolved. This is a deliberate search for an archetypal form, grounded in the logic of construction and the specificities of the local climate.
