Good Karma Farmhouse,
Alibaug

 
 
 
 

Nestled in the interiors of Alibaug, the site of the project remains quite secluded and is surrounded by farmlands and mountains as the backdrop. The architectural language of both the structures is subtle, coherent, and designed to respond to the climatic and topographical conditions of the site. Two-way sloping roofs with large overhangs raised floors, and six feet deep verandahs on all four sides together ensure minimum heat gain while offering maximum protection against the torrential rain. The wattle and daub wall panels, made out of split bamboo and timber frames are mud plastered to keep the interior atmosphere cool while the ventilators in the roof allow the hot air to escape freely making the structures breathable in the hot & humid climate of Alibaug.
