Simple structures with glass walls and wooden doors, the houses appear as they grew with the trees. They are interspersed with semi-open spaces such as staircases washed with skylight, and courtyards
Amidst streams flowing down from the gentle hills of Alibaug, lies a multi-family weekend home in an 8-acre lush mango orchard.
Nestled within the natural landscape
House in mango orchard architectural design ensures that the building treads very lightly on the earth to least disturb the existing flora and fauna; with plantations being grown carefully to allow the indigenous species to co-exist. Each home nestles within the branches of the trees, encloses a swimming pool and is connected through pathways and plinths.
Shades courtyards and inside outside seamlessness
Simple structures with glass walls and wooden doors, the houses appear as they grew with the trees. They are interspersed with semi-open spaces such as staircases washed with skylight, and courtyards that stream filtered light from between mango trees.
