The Open House / MANTIS
The one-acre site of Saukhya Farm is nestled in the lush valley of Beze Village, on the outskirts of Nashik. Surrounded by small farms, it offers sweeping views of Beze Dam and surrounding hills. The clients' brief was to transform the site into a farmhouse and to cultivate part of it into an orchard. Work on the farmhouse began amid lockdown delays. Frequent visits to the site inspired us as we observed the valley's dramatic seasonal changes—from vibrant green in the monsoon to muted brown later in the year. These observations became central to the design of 'The Open House,' a farmhouse that frames and integrates with its surroundings, encouraging users to slow down and engage with nature.
