Farmhouse 392-A

The tires crunch its face across the pervious concrete pavers to the shaded porch. The high portico is supported by vertical brick-belts casing the form as it marks the two entrances. The horizontal flow of planes gives a face to the modern and clean design. Subtracting masses, the balance is matched by seamless window panes and glass railings. The roof breaking through the shade satisfies the overall geometry of the facade.
The house emulates the vocabulary of openness, permeability, and clean lines. As you enter the hall, a sunbathed foyer awaits your footsteps. The drawing and guest bedroom sits at the front end of the house. The kitchen lies adjacent to the lounge overlooking the backyard and the waterbody behind the staircase. The master bedroom opens through the passage lit by the open-to-sky area. Lying at the back is a verandah leading to the lawn, gallery seating, and the pool. Two servant bedrooms with external access are open to their private views.
The floor above holds three bedrooms, a kitchen and greasy kitchen, and a lounge opening to the terrace.
