Modern Farmhouse Landscapes & Urban Retreats in Delhi NCR
We create private sanctuaries where landscape and architecture breathe as one. Whether it is a sprawling farmhouse in Chattarpur or a vertical garden in a Gurgaon home, our designs are rooted in the local land, bringing nature into the heart of your living space.
The entrance to C Farm in Chattarpur is marked by a wooden deck and a pergola supported by unique, cone-shaped columns. This walkway is flanked by a stone wall and a water channel, creating a multi-sensory journey into the home.

The garden pavilion at C Farm is a study in simplicity and form. Nestled into the landscape with stone and plaster walls, it provides a secluded, sheltered space for relaxation with a direct connection to the surrounding greenery.
The pool area at C Farm is designed with clean lines and natural materials. Stone decking and integrated planters create a seamless transition from the water to the lawn, while a feature wall adds architectural interest and privacy.
This multi-level Gurgaon home is designed as a vertical garden, with terraces and balconies at every level providing green spaces. The landscape lighting accentuates the architecture and plantings, turning the home into a glowing sanctuary at night.

"Whispers by Chalets" is a project featuring two cottages nestled into a Himalayan hillside. The design uses local stone for retaining walls and building facades, grounding the structures in their mountainous context and creating terraced gardens that follow the slope of the land.
About Contemporary Farmhouses & Urban Retreats
When we design these retreats, we do not just look at the plot; we study how the sun moves across your land and how your daily routine connects with the outdoors. We use local materials like laterite or Teakstone to ensure the structure ages gracefully in our climate, which results in less maintenance and a deeper, more authentic connection to the site. If you are planning a space that needs to feel like a sanctuary, it starts with how we site the pavilion or pool to catch that perfect breeze.
Architecture That Breathes
Our approach to contemporary farmhouses and urban retreats centers on erasing the boundaries between inside and out. We believe a home should not just be built; it should belong to the land. Through the use of wrap-around verandas, light-filtering pergolas, and strategically placed courtyards, we create living spaces that offer a sense of timeless repose.
Materiality & Craft
We avoid the sterile feel of modern trends. Instead, we look to the earth. Our projects often feature a palette of local materials—exposed concrete, hand-chiseled Teakstone, and Dholpur stone—that ground the architecture. This commitment to materiality is paired with innovative sustainable practices, such as rainwater harvesting and bioclimatic design, ensuring your retreat remains a cool, comfortable refuge regardless of the Delhi heat.
Designing Your Sanctuary
Whether you are developing a large-scale estate or looking to transform an urban plot into a private forest, our process is tailored to your site's unique topography and wind patterns:
- Site-Responsive Zoning: We map the site to maximize privacy and natural light, ensuring that your home and garden talk to each other.
- Indoor-Outdoor Integration: From infinity pools that mirror the sky to garden pavilions that act as secondary lounges, every element is designed to pull nature into your daily life.
- Technical Precision: While our aesthetic is poetic, our execution is rigorous. We provide comprehensive master planning, civil drawings for structural integrity, and planting plans featuring native species to ensure your landscape thrives with minimal intervention.
Saka Studio
We started Saka Studio back in '99 because we believe architecture can be poetry. We are not interested in just putting up walls; we want to build spaces that feel alive, where you can watch the light dance on a wall or feel the breeze in your courtyard. Every home we design is a collaboration—we listen to the land, and to you, to create a place that truly belongs.
