Designed to foster creativity, wellness, and connection with nature, the structure is a dynamic space that adapts to a variety of artistic and recreational activities.
Concept:
Farmshaala embodies the idea of flexible, collaborative living. The structure is conceived as an open, multifunctional space that dissolves the boundaries between the indoors and outdoors, encouraging interaction with both nature and one another. With its open-plan design, it serves as a creative hub where diverse artistic expressions, performances, and practices can unfold. The location of the project, alongside a serene stream, amplifies the calming, restorative experience that the space offers. The sound of the flowing water and the surrounding natural beauty play a crucial role in helping individuals relax, reflect, and find inspiration.
Design Approach:
At the core of Farmshaala is its sustainable bamboo construction. Bamboo, with its lightweight and flexible nature, was chosen for its ability to create open, airy spaces that allow for fluid movement and collaboration. The structure blends traditional building techniques with contemporary design, maximizing natural ventilation, light, and the connection to the surrounding landscape. The open architecture allows for seamless integration with the environment, offering a tranquil setting where creativity can flourish.
