Farmhouse 1.0 - by ENIGMA design studio

FARMHOUSE 1.0

An opportunity came around to design a Farmhouse with all the Modern amenities and luxury. The brief being that it should look like Farmhouse outside and feel like Goa inside... which made us question "what do people think as the aesthetics of a Farmhouse?" Researching on that we saw boxes with roof as a hat sitting over a piece of land with beautiful vegetation and waterbody around. We felt maybe people are right in their interpretation of taking reference from actual farm huts and village homes with the thatch roof and modest feel.

But while taking design decisions we felt a strong urge to use organic flow of lines to compliment the organic aesthetics of nature itself. We felt using sharp angles is like us superimposing our ego over nature. This lead us to create this form which is like a shell when you see it from outside I might appear to be closed a secluded but when you enter inside it surprises you with it's connectivity with the surroundings ...

Even though we realize after we made it that It doesn't appear like any other Farmhouse but again back to the questions "what is a Farmhouse?" Is it the aesthetics? Or is it the experice that the built environment creates for an individual ?

The question is like a ENIGMA and We are still thinking about that answer... and trying to sketch our way through it !
