The Dinesh Mill Bungalow in Baroda, India was designed by Atelier dnD. This project is a minimalist home that features clean lines, uncluttered geometry and fluid spaces that permit the interiors to blend with the exteriors.
The main challenge when constructing it was to maintain untouched the natural vegetation on the plot and in the end there were saved as many trees as possible.
The living spaces and the master bedroom are cooled because of the outdoor pool and the deck that are close to these indoor spaces. Because the poolside is continued by a lawn, it’s an ideal space for leisure.
Minimalism isn’t emptiness; it’s clarity. By sparing the trees, they let nature dictate the form. The pool doesn’t just cool the air—it cools the mind, blurring the line between shelter and wildness.
Thank you! You’ve perfectly captured the essence of our design intent. We truly believe that respecting the existing landscape creates a deeper connection between the home and its surroundings. The pool is indeed meant to be a meditative space, bridging the built environment with nature.
