Seoidin Courtyard House

We were commissioned to design a new 3-bed house for a family with historic connections to Ratoath Village in Co. Meath. This family was deeply rooted in the area, and therefore it was important that this house would blend effortlessly into its surroundings. The form and layout were inspired by the local vernacular, in particular the Irish farmhouse typology, which is found throughout the region. The building was organised around three courtyards and three chimneys.The external forecourt deals primarily with the arrival. The building itself is wrapped around an internal courtyard, with each wing carefully positioned in terms of its daylighting and privacy requirements. The bedrooms and private spaces look outwards towards the landscape, and... More

RAMJULA

Ramjula is conceived as a contemporary homestead where architecture emerges from the landscape rather than occupying it. Designed as a second home for a family, the project reinterprets the spatial logic of traditional Indian rural dwellings—courtyards, shaded verandas, and garden thresholds—through a restrained and climate-responsive architectural language. Tarun hirapara The site planning is led by water and terrain. At the heart of the property lies a central lake that anchors the project both visually and ecologically. Rainwater harvested from the building roofs and paved surfaces is directed toward this water body, with overflow recharging an existing well on site. Earth excavated during construction was reshaped into... More

iKyam Farmhouse

Located in the foothills of the Western Ghats near Ghargaon in Maharashtra, India, Aher Design Studio conceived iKyam Farmhouse as a restrained architectural response to its natural setting. Occupying 8,180 square feet within a one-acre plot, the house touches the land lightly. It frames distant ridgelines, channels prevailing breezes, and modulates sunlight as a primary architectural material. The project reflects a relationship between craft, climate, and context. Its sustainability strategy is rooted less in technological add-ons and more in spatial orientation, material sourcing, and passive environmental performance.

The Enchanted Wood

There was so much whispering, that it felt like a thousand leaves rustling at once…A landscape design project in Chikhli, Gujarat, recently undertaken by Studio DesignSeed, 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.

Villa RN

At right angles to an existing farmstead, JUMA positioned a new volume for expansion. In terms of materialization, both differ greatly from each other so that it remains architecturally readable what is authentic and what is new. The new black volume has a wooden facade and roof cladding that is given rhythm by choosing a specific profiling where an extra beam is added every three planchettes. This unique finish is also recognized in the kitchen, creating unity between the exterior and interior. Caption The new section forms a buffer between the driveway and the garden for the desired privacy. The new "extension" adopts the typical formal language of the farmstead, to create a coherent whole. The two each have a simple rectangular gro... More

Creemore Farm

The Creemore Farm is a frugal renovation and 85m2 extension to a turn of the century farmhouse north of Toronto, overlooking rolling hills and expansive views.
