Text description provided by the architects. The role of a designer extends beyond creating forms; it involves challenging conventions and rethinking spatial narratives. At Achyutam Designs, authenticity is key—celebrating raw, unembellished materials and redefining architectural experiences. For this farmhouse on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, designers Shikha Parmar and Ashish Parmar began with a fundamental question: Why must walls and ceilings be separate elements? This inquiry led to a fluid, monolithic design where enclosure and structure merge seamlessly.
