PROJECT: Arunyam, Kondiwade, Pune; ARCHITECTS: IMK Architects
Arunyam is a 95-acre second home development project by IMK Architects located in Kondiwade, at an hour’s drive away from Pune. Located at an altitude of 2185 metres, Arunyam is nestled in the lap of nature surrounded by forests, hills, and a lake.
Arunyam, derived from a Sanskrit word that translates to ‘forests’ is designed to offer an experience of an urban retreat in a rustic setting with modern comforts, offering a connection to nature. The ‘designing with nature’ approach focuses on building alongside the site’s natural elements.
The entry to Arunyam is through a large, inviting gate inspired by nature. Phase one of the project comprises 68 villas, a community clubhouse with a swimming pool, lakeside activities and a forest trail. The 1.5-kilometer-long lakefront features a promenade, camping area, and jetty – allowing direct access to the lake waters.

#BEATTHEFIRE - WHAT YOU SPECIFY CAN DECIDE WHO SURVIVES
In moments of fire, there is no second chance. The materials you choose today determine whether a building protects lives tomorrow - or puts them at risk. In an age where speed of construction and visual appeal often overshadow safety, one critical truth must remain nonnegotiable: fire safety begins at the specification stage.
