The vision for this land was to create a self sufficient farm with the help of a community which is connected to, contributes to and consumes from the farm. The clients also wanted to host guests and environmental enthusiasts, while conserving local flora and fauna.

The focus of the design was on accounting for wildlife movement (elephants, wild boars, leopards) as well as the shifting land dynamics upslope of the farm, due to changing earthworks in neighbouring farms, the presence of major water flows and sediment flow into the farm. For this, an interconnected earthworks system was designed, with ponds, basins, overflow channels and bioswales. Earthworks like berms and sheet flow spreaders were suggested in areas with existing orchards (like the mango orchard in the southern portion), to enhance infiltration and manage flows.

Planted areas were zoned according to type and intensity of maintenance, and the eastern section dedicated for wild flora and fauna. Veggie gardens were zoned within the habitation zone, which was designed with a dense living fence. The periphery of the land itself was not fenced, to allow for wildlife movement. A comprehensive plant list supported the planting plan. Built spaces (farmhouse, animal systems, produce processing units) were placed along a central vehicular path connecting entry and exit, for ease of access and material logistics.
