This project embodies the firm’s commitment to merging aesthetic beauty with practical functionality and environmental sensitivity.

Designed as a country house, the farmhouse exudes a sense of rustic elegance. Large windows and doors are a prominent feature, allowing natural light to flood the interiors while offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The floor height is of 12 feet to enhance the sense of spaciousness, providing an airy and open feel that complements the tranquil rural setting.

Climate-Sensitive Design

One of the standout features of this farmhouse is its climate-sensitive design. Located in a very warm part of the country, the farmhouse is oriented to minimize solar heat gain. This strategic orientation ensures that the house remains cool and comfortable even during the hottest months. The design takes full advantage of cross-ventilation, reducing the need for artificial cooling and making the home more energy-efficient.

The farmhouse welcomes visitors with a grand entrance foyer, setting the tone for the luxurious and inviting interiors. The spacious layout is designed to accommodate the needs of a modern family while retaining the charm and warmth of a traditional country home.

The original farm house next door in this farm land was also designed by Metamorphosis Architecture in the 1980s, this new farmhouse pays homage to the family’s legacy while introducing contemporary elements. The original farmhouse utilized vaults for the roof due to cost-effectiveness of materials at the time. The seamless blend of old and new creates a harmonious living environment that respects tradition while embracing modernity.

A swimming pool fed via a tube well adds a nice touch.

The farm house is beautiful and functional and also environmentally responsible.
