Farmers Den

Farmers Den is an office landscape design located in Gandhinagar, India. The layout follows a simple grid plan, and the building is raised slightly on a platform that flows into the surrounding landscape and water channels. Local yellow sandstone is used for its color and texture under changing sunlight. Native tree species and insect repellent plants are combined with water, fish and turtles to form a small ecosystem. Raised mounds and tall trees shade the southwest side from strong heat. Openings in the breakout wall guide the breeze over the water to cool the cabins.

Sandane

Sandane is a public table tennis table designed for an urban park. The frame is made from simple steel plates painted with dark reflective paint. A chain of four wooden spheres works as a crossbeam. The spheres reflect in the paint, so a continuous chain appears to pass through the metal, making the structure seem translucent and light. The metal frame is built from only three unique pieces, which simplifies production and assembly. The design gives a robust piece of street furniture sculptural qualities.
