Greenfield Rice Mill
Type Industrial
Area 7 acres
Location Kharagpur, West Bengal
Status Completed
Set amidst the lush green fields of Kharagpur, the Greenfield Rice Mill exemplifies agricultural progress and sustainability. The complex includes a large milling unit, silos, an office block, and residential quarters for workers and staff. An artificial lagoon, designed for water storage and sedimentation, supports efficient husk cleaning and promotes eco-friendly operations.
At the centre of this lagoon lies a small temple—offering spiritual respite within the industrial setting. The design balances functionality with environmental consciousness, ensuring resource efficiency. Ample green spaces and natural water elements enhance the site’s visual and ecological quality. The layout fosters a sense of community among workers through well-planned residential and common areas. Structural clarity and durable materials ensure long-term operational reliability.
The project demonstrates a seamless integration of technology, tradition, and sustainability. It stands as a model for responsible and human-centered industrial design in rural India.
