“Aaranya”, an agriculture farmstay, is located in a rural setting at the edge of Sasan Gir Lion Sanctuary, Gujarat.
Rather than spending millions on the best technology to create the greenest of green-building when very few Indians can associate with them, while even fewer can afford them, the architect has come up with simple, established, and honest systems, offered by vernacular architecture.
On a plot area of 2.5 acres, the built-form of 6,000 sq.ft. attempts to sit lightly within the grid of an existing mango farm. Each cottage of 500 sq.ft. creates solace for the visitors.
Ar. Himanshu Patel narrates his practice ideology through the story of Aaranya Farmstay Resort. Using local materials, local labor and technology, based on vernacular systems form the core of the design.
