Nestled in the rolling Alloa Hills near the Sabarmati River in Gandhinagar, India, Studio Sangath has conceived of a bold, contemporary home using terracotta and recycled brick. Headed up by principal architects Khushnu Panthaki Hoof and Sönke Hoof, the project serves as a peaceful retreat where its owners can reconnect with nature and host visiting writers, artists, and filmmakers in an environment conducive to creativity.

The building’s angular archways, stairs, veranda, and interior surfaces are constructed using compressed bricks made from the powdered waste produced in brick kilns. “The design prioritises harmony with nature, featuring an open interior courtyard that draws the landscape inside, framing views from every angle,” the studio says.
