Homestead – Design a farmhouse
Longing for green
“My wish is to always live like this, living quietly in the corner of nature.” — Claude Monet
The lush of the farms is something that attracts everyone’s attention. Especially the urban dwellers, who live in a concrete jungle and are seldom exposed to the natural realm. And oftentimes these spaces are preferred to live in and attracted towards.
The lush and abundant natural availability creates a kind of environment that makes it attractive to the people who wish to cherish living in spaces that extend beyond the cities and roads.
And often in such environments, one wishes to stay and live a little longer. This can only be possible through resorts, hotels, and other stay places that help them experience both worlds.
Although there are rare places where one can have a luxurious stay as well as experience nature at its best and at our doorsteps.
Nature at the doorstep
To be able to live inside nature for a longer period of time is something we all often wish for.
How can we find ways to accomplish this without having to limit our vacations to just holidays or longing for one more vacation every year?
Can this be made possible by creating a space that expands itself into nature by giving us a wholesome experience?
Will a space that offers us a kind of comfort of the house and also the variety and experience of the farm work? To enjoy moments of peace can a homestead; a farmhouse give us that valuable and long-lasting experience?
A Farmhouse expands its horizons beyond typical households and connects the building with the context closely. Not just through the built environment but also through the integration of the flora and fauna of the context. It offers us numerous activities including farming, animal rearing which help one live a sustainable lifestyle.
Short Description
