The Aalok Farmhouse, conceived by the project team, is a three-bedroom country house located near Bengaluru. The project proposes a reinterpretation of the traditional country house typology, using a series of autonomous pavilions interconnected through landscaping.
Instead of considering the outdoor area as a mere continuation of the built structure, the design allows elements such as patios, trees, and open thresholds to define the architecture itself. The residence was planned to serve both as a family retreat and a venue for professional meetings.
This need to reconcile privacy with the possibility of collective interaction motivated the project team to abandon the usual country house format, characterized by closed rooms connected by internal corridors. Instead, circulation was directed outdoors, transforming movement into a succession of shaded paths, patios, and framed views.
