Located in the hot and dry region of Dhrangadhra, renowned for its abundant sandstone resources, the site spans a 20,000 sq ft plot within a larger 13-acre expanse of farmland and a stone factory. Designed as a second home for a growing multigenerational family, the house emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and traditional construction techniques, using natural materials such as locally sourced bricks, sandstone, granite, and teakwood as primary finishes.
The design envisions a grounded primary structure for the main house, complemented by two additional buildings - a guest house and an office - arranged loosely around a central courtyard. This courtyard, surrounded by inward-facing verandas, opens seamlessly to the pool area, creating a harmonious balance of privacy and connection. A peripheral boundary wall unifies the structures, fostering a sense of cohesion and enclosure.
Flexibility defines the design, with thoughtfully planned common gathering spaces that allow for seamless separation of private and communal areas, accommodating the evolving needs of the family.
