The Ragunath farmhouse nestled in the middle of a tea estate in Kotagiri with harmonious views of the surrounding landscape, which seamlessly combine modern luxury with the tranquility of nature. The farmhouse integrates a rocky outgrowth as its central element, excavated to form two levels, emphasizing its design around natural contours and the rock as the focal point that creates a unique entrance to the first floor. There are two main access points to the farmhouse: one parallel to the road while the other is as per the contour which allows the entry to the living space through the deck.

The farmhouse spans as two parts at two levels. The one part comprises of living room, bedroom and a deck space. The opening in the bedroom provides a scenic view of the surrounding landscape. The other part of the building is further divided into two halves which accommodates home theatre, dining, kitchen and bedrooms. The balcony and deck that corresponds with bedrooms provide a sense of comfort and a perspective of surrounding landscape. A bridge acts as a central gathering space that connects the two parts of the farmhouse creating a sense of homogeneity, unity and cohesion.

Various spaces like stairs, openings, fireplaces, balcony and decks acts as both functional and aesthetic elements in the farmhouse. The staircase transcends its role as a mere connector between levels and more of a seating space and an amphitheatre—a space where form meets function, and everyday circulation blends seamlessly with social interaction.

Natural light is established into the interiors through the clerestory windows and the truss which adds drama and creates a well-lit environment that makes the space inviting for relaxation and to reach its full potential.
