House Around the Two Courtyards

Situated in the quiet village of Phaltan, this house responds sensitively to its hot, dry climate and rural landscape. Inspired by the road journey through non-agricultural lands dotted with boulders and dry grasses, the design embraces simplicity and a deep connection to its context, reflecting a humble and grounded spirit. The material palette seamlessly weaves indoor and outdoor spaces, with courtyards functioning as natural extensions of living areas. The spatial flow fosters intimacy and openness, engaging the senses through light, breeze, and earthy textures that echo the village's vernacular character.
