An earthy retreat on the outskirts of Channapatna, this farmhouse celebrates the rugged warmth of laterite. Thick exposed walls root the home in its rural setting, while skylit courtyards weave light, landscape and living spaces into one continuous experience. 
 
An open living–dining–kitchen wraps the central court, with sunken seating, water bodies and pockets of green softening the strong material palette. Light steel, timber details and custom shelving balance the weight of the laterite, giving the space a contemporary character. Muted stone, warm wood and soft furnishings keep the interiors calm and minimal, echoed in the bathrooms with garden-facing windows, seamless stone and backlit mirrors. 
 
The result is a home that quietly balances rustic and refined, remaining closely connected to nature.
