Briefly

The Gorakhpur Farmhouse / DW5 Architects
"The Gorakhpur Farmhouse is an unwritten dialogue between architecture and nature-an intuitive response to land, climate, and craft. It does not impose itself but rather listens, adapts, and emerges as an organic extension of its surroundings."
"Located in a 20-year-old mango-teak orchard, the project follows a fundamental principle: to build without erasure. Every tree on site remains untouched, guiding the home's spatial layout, shaping courtyards, and framing views."
Gorakhpur Farmhouse responds intuitively to land, climate, and craft, forming an organic extension of its surroundings. The design prioritizes preservation by keeping every tree on the twenty-year-old mango-teak orchard intact. Existing trees guide the home's spatial layout, shape courtyards, and frame views throughout the property. The building adopts a listening posture rather than imposing itself, adapting to site conditions and integrating built forms with landscape. Circulation and open spaces orient around tree positions, producing modulated light, shaded microclimates, and framed vistas. The guiding principle is to build without erasure, maintaining ecological and cultural continuity.
