Works of Dhammada Collective aim to celebrate rural Madhya Pradesh’s design ingenuity through local materials, traditional building methods, and space typologies. The projects embrace indigenous techniques to honor the region’s heritage, showcasing a profound appreciation for craftsmanship and cultural identity.
A plunge pool designed as a homage to the timeless Indian step-wells, the kund is constructed using locally sourced basalt stone with a top surface of red sandstone. Water from a nearby pond fills the kund through a spout, echoing the charm of farm tubewells. Excess water flows into a neighbouring well, completing the cycle. The team engaged with local grinding stone makers to contribute to the project. This infusion of craftsmanship fosters a sense of community, enriching the project with heritage and shared purpose, creating a sanctuary that tries honours the past while embracing the present.
