House of a Seed Saver

House of a Seed Saver

Meeta Jain Architects as Architects

  Sangita Sharma, an avid organic farmer and campaigner created a seedbank, Annadana on the very farmland she grew up in.

Back in 2002,  when she returned home to Bangalore, after a long stint at globetrotting, she was gifted a site within the coconut tree grove by her loving parents to build her own haven.

   A small 2 bedroom house with a living space positioned itself under the tree grove, unobtrusively. The sculpting of house was attempted through these elements

  The tilting roof of living room , opening to sky to gather the “being under the canopy” experience

  The sweeping curved stone wall that backdrops the living space. Also directing itself to the western horizons

   The cylindrical shaft that at once contains 3 special functions, the study, the meditation room and the water tank.
