āranya is a young, rural design and research studio, working at the intersection of landscape architecture, architecture, art, research, and ecology. Our work is imagined as a series of collaborations across disciplines and species, with co-designers, co-makers and co-habitants. 

We have faith in a beauty that emerges from ecological processes, and transcends traditionally imposed boundaries of built and unbuilt, inside and outside, natural and artificial. 


We are  deeply invested in research and advocacy on rural socio-hydrological resilience systems, indigenous wild food and foraging networks, and public spaces within our indigenous rural context. Our studio is partly based out of orchards and rural farmlands. We use this luxury to experiment with farming, rewilding, afforestation, drought and flood resilient design as well as new practices and materials of construction.
