The client is a large IT business company based in South India. They have 150 acres of the organic farm a few km from Pondicherry. The farm produces over a dozen varieties of pulses and grains. They have been conducting high-quality research in organic farming methods and wish to now disseminate their learnings among other farmers in the community.
The purpose of the training center is to bring the community of farmers together and serve as an active tool in changing their mindset from chemical farming to organic farming. The building should make them feel ‘at home’ and yet at the same time, give them enough stimulus to be able to think differently and accept a new paradigm of learning and practicing.
The client wanted the administrative office to be built in two phases. The first phase would consist of the Reception, admin office, Training hall and Services.
The second phase would include the private offices of both founders along with conference facilities and an office for their PA. Yet, the whole office should be seamlessly integrated around courtyards with views to the farm from all sides.
Our Design Solution integrated climate-responsive features to reduce thermal heat gain inside the complex, active strategies for water recycling, daylighting, energy efficiency, use of natural materials, and a design that would promote interactive learning and community collaboration.
I have an organic farm at Kenipet near Pondicherry, where I am setting up a guest house, admin block, and staff quarters. I needed an excellent eco-friendly design with a heritage look. Trupti Doshi worked as a Consultant Architect on the designs and she did a fantastic job. She is very creative and is able to come up with unique designs. She worked very patiently with us as we modified some of the designs. I wish Trupti all the best for her future projects.
