This hilltop farmhouse in the Western Ghats near Pune overlooks a dam, with a north-facing infinity-edge pool framing uninterrupted lake views. Deep overhangs and a sloping Mangalore-tile roof deflect heavy monsoon rains. Local stone walls, plaster finishes and warm wood detailing lend the modern design a vernacular feel. Sliding glass walls open the living spaces to decks and a central courtyard of greenery, blurring interior and exterior, and imbuing a sense of continuous immersion in nature.
