Agrarian's Shelter is a project in which we were able to meet the needs and budget of a farmer's family who harbored hopes of having a home of their own. An abode of tranquility amidst a lush green coffee plantation merge with the foggy landscape of Wayanad.

The client's primary requirement was for a single-story house that maximizes human interactions and does not rise much in height. This design approach was influenced by the client's living conditions and daily routine as a farmer. For instance, the need for a detached backyard sitout and a common toilet reflects the client's lifestyle. Since the client spends most of their time on the land, a long sitout in the backyard fulfills their day-to-day activities while offering a direct view of their field.

The design also takes into account the climatic conditions of the area. The house showcases a unique statement of tropical architectural style within the rural context of Wayanad, evoking a sense of rawness and newness. The client desired a humble abode with plenty of natural light and ventilation. Given the ample rainfall in the region, a sloping roof provides protection from rain, and the butterfly roof with a water gutter in between allows for maximum rainwater collection, which can be used for irrigation.

A multipurpose living area with a courtyard serves as the core of the house, connecting its two parts where family members can interact. A tropical landscape planned in levels, wide steps, and the hue of exposed brick walls provide a welcoming entry to the house.
