This farmhouse is built as a weekend getaway on 6 acres of farmland with mango and other fruit bearing trees and silver oak plantations. The house was designed to resonate with the vernacular surroundings, using the earth blocks from site in combination with a Mangalore tiled pitched roof. One interesting feature about this house was the client’s requirement for the house to be able to be partitioned equally at a later date. Therefore, provisions were made for a future division that included a central double height skylight that could be divided with a wall, and stairs on both sides leading up to the top floor. Large windows are used to frame the exquisite views of the site.
