Aranyam club house designed for a master layout is located in the southern outskirts of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. The 8600sq.m site is enveloped by dense forest land, where nature asserts its dominance through a rugged terrain, whispering canopies, and an untouched ecological rhythm.
Aranyam — derived from the Sanskrit word for forest, emerges as an architectural dialogue between the wilderness and the human instinct to find order within it.
The conceptual foundation of the clubhouse with a built space of 1650sq.m lies in the fusion of architecture with landscape where built form and terrain are perceived as one continuous gesture. The form emerges from the earth as a series of angular shards that fold and open, creating dynamic spatial experiences while maintaining a low and fragmented skyline that blends with the forest foliage. The club stands as a sculpted response to its landscape — a convergence of geometry and origami, permanence and fluidity, silence and human presence.
The architectural language avoids vertical dominance. Instead, it stretches horizontally, emphasizing connection over hierarchy, a deliberate move to ensure that the built mass dissolves into its surroundings rather than claiming visual supremacy.
Designed in natural materials, with locally available grey basalt stone & wooden framed roof, the embodied carbon footprint is kept minimal. The layout facilitates natural light & ventilation to each space ensuring energy efficiency.
In this natural symphony, the clubhouse does not seek to overpower or intrude; rather, it strives to coexist.
