The Enchanted Woods | A Tropical Escape of Courts and Meandering Paths https://lnkd.in/g-dwzSuT A landscape design project in Chikhli, Gujarat, exemplifies how thoughtful design choices can transform a 40,000 sqft plot with existing dense orchard area into a sanctuary that complements the natural environment and engages the senses. Designing landscapes is an artful blend of natural beauty and intentional human intervention, shaping spaces that tell a story, evoke emotions, and serve functional needs. Landscape design encompasses much more than mere planting; it involves orchestrating textures, colors, heights, and spatial forms to create an immersive experience. #landscapearchitecture #india #Chikhli #Gujarat

FARMHOUSE 1.0 An opportunity came around to design a Farmhouse with all the Modern amenities and luxury. The brief being that it should look like Farmhouse outside and feel like Goa inside... which made us question "what do people think as the aesthetics of a Farmhouse?" Researching on that we saw boxes with roof as a hat sitting over a piece of land with beautiful vegetation and waterbody around. We felt maybe people are right in their interpretation of taking reference from actual farm huts and village homes with the thatch roof and modest feel. But while taking design decisions we felt a strong urge to use organic flow of lines to compliment the organic aesthetics of nature itself. We felt using sharp angles is like us superimposing our ego over nature. This lead us to create this form which is like a shell when you see it from outside it might appear to be closed a secluded but when you enter inside it surprises you with it's connectivity with the surroundings ... Even though we realize after we made it that It doesn't appear like any other Farmhouse but again back to the questions "what is a Farmhouse?" Is it the aesthetics? Or is it the experience that the built environment creates for an individual ? The question is like a ENIGMA and We are still thinking about that answer... and trying to sketch our way through it ! -ENIGMA design studio #ENIGMA #enigma.ds #enigmadesignstudio #architecture #farmhouse #ahmedabad #india #indianarchitects #indianarchitecture

Residential Architecture @ Jaipur Courtyard House, Jaipur The courtyard house was an exploration to evolve architectural form as a response to the strong context addressing parameters such as climate, amalgamation of local building materials, construction techniques and craftsmanship creating a building which is a reflection of the lifestyle for the residents. The wind movement guides the proportions of the courtyard enabling the spaces to be naturally ventilated and lit throughout the year. Deep colonnaded external verandahs in this semi-arid climatic zone while prevents the excessive heat to directly penetrate into the façade during summers also responds to winters where it is utilized more for outdoor seating. On the other hand, the internal courtyard which reaches deep into the house, blurring the boundary between inside and outside, is an ideal summer gathering space. Designed for a traditional Indian, close-knit joint family that loves spending time with each other, the emphasis is to ensure a variety of semi-open and enclosed common spaces that encourage a sense of togetherness and community spaces that holds a large family together - celebration of 03 generations living together. The courtyard house has series of motifs forming ever-changing shadows on the walls and geometrically designed flooring patterns with the movement of the sun over the day. #residentialarchitecture #CourtyardLiving #ArchitecturalExploration #ContextualDesign #ClimateResponsive #LocalMaterials #Craftsmanship #NaturalVentilation #SustainableArchitecture #ColonadedVerandahs #SemiAridClimate #OutdoorLiving #InternalCourtyard #BlurringBoundaries #TraditionalDesign #JointFamilyLiving #SunShadowPatterns

𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 At Samashtti Designs, we believe architecture is more than just buildings—it’s an art form, a canvas to weave stories, cultures, and experiences. Our recent work is deeply inspired by Kerala’s rich weaving traditions, where artisans bring life to every thread on the loom, crafting vibrant textiles with skill, patience, and reverence for nature. Just as the weaver creates beauty from local materials, our architectural philosophy also draws from the essence of local craftsmanship and sustainable practices. Each project we design seeks to integrate art, nature, and tradition, creating spaces that are not only beautiful but deeply rooted in local culture. By blending Kerala’s timeless artistry with sustainable, experiential architecture, we aim to create spaces that inspire connection—with both the environment and the heritage around us. At Samashtti, we’re not just designing buildings; we’re crafting experiences that honor the past while embracing the future. #𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗶 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 #𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 #𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 #𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗮 #𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 #𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 #𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 #𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 #𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

The Branching Roots A quaint abode that's coming up soon, delicately sits within a dense grove of trees. The beauty of the existing site features embraces this family home nestled in Pali, Maharashtra. The home branches itself to seamlessly accommodate the existing trees on site which creates sculptural spaces and enhanced experiences while it looks to create an ambient microclimate within. The planning and orientation of each of the branches capitalises on the beautiful vantages of the hills and farmlands, thus creating a sense of retreat, rejuvenation and relaxation amidst nature. We can't wait for this home to break ground soon!

Choosing the colour pallet for any space or environment plays the core role in determining numerous elements in future; example- material tone, lighting and many more. Thus finalising the colour pallet is one the initial but extremely crucial decision. This residence in kota demanded Bohemian aesthetics on facade giving it minimal but unique look. The surreal play and blend of earthy tones which harmonise with the environment also stands out because of its unique structure and distinctive material tones. Project - Bohemian style Residence in Kota, Rajasthan. #architecture #bohemian #kota #kotaarchitecture #kotadevelopment #kotaresidentialprojects #2024architecture #exterior #exteriordesign #residential #residentialdesign #bohemianstyle #bohemianarchitecture #minimalism #minimalistic

Redefining Residential Spaces in India India's residential architecture is a rich blend of tradition and innovation. From sprawling courtyards that honor cultural roots to modern, sustainable designs that embrace the future, every home tells a unique story. As an architectural designer, I believe homes should go beyond aesthetics—they should reflect the people living in them, adapt to their needs, and harmonize with the environment. In India, where diversity in lifestyle and climate shapes our housing, the challenge is designing spaces that are both functional and meaningful. Whether it's optimizing compact urban apartments or crafting luxurious villas, the goal is the same: to create spaces that feel like home. I’m passionate about exploring design solutions that balance tradition, innovation, and sustainability in Indian homes. Let’s connect to exchange ideas or collaborate on crafting the future of residential spaces! #ResidentialDesign #ArchitectureInIndia #SustainableLiving

Excellent use of Building orientation and Architecture.
“The family wanted a ‘cool’ house literally, so that is what we delivered. We used the direction of the winds, design and cooling materials to lower the heat of the house,” says Samira Rathod, the principal architect of this remarkable house that defies the norm of blasting ACs to beat the peak summer heat. “The house looks inwards and we have created courtyards with trees so it feels like you are looking outside rather than inside. In the middle of the courtyard on the first floor, we have a beautiful tree with a view like a garden,” she adds. The house, which is built on a 10,500 sq ft area, has a unique design structure that allows the wind to pass through the home. To combat the heat, the house also utilises 18-inch thick external walls and a soothing lime plaster interior, effectively keeping the rooms cool and breezy. Additionally, the house also uses reclaimed wood in its interior and also has solar panels as well as solar geysers. "The house remains so breezy and cool even in peak summers. Three generations of my family reside in this house, including my parents, and we enjoy every inch of it,” says the current owner.
