This Contemporary Farmhouse Merges Indoor Comforts with the Outdoor Peace | Studio MOB
The architectural journey begins with a meticulous southwest-oriented site plan to optimize natural light and ventilation. Surrounded by swaying coconut palms in a serene farm setting, the home offers serene vistas on one side, contrasting with the city’s bustling energy on the other.
Thoughtful design includes separate vehicular and pedestrian entries, lush landscaping, and minimal west-facing openings for privacy. Large east-facing windows bathe interiors in natural light without excessive heat, while a central external garden becomes a tranquil focal point, shaded from the afternoon sun.
A distinctive staircase, adorned with a skylight and towering louvered window, illuminates both the space and the sacred Puja room at its heart. This architectural marvel floods the home with natural light and facilitates gentle ventilation. The result is an atmosphere of serene grace and spiritual tranquility.
Additionally, each detail, from the expansive 16-foot main door to custom louvered shutters, underscores the blend of modernity and functionality.
The material palette of concrete, exposed bricks, and accents of white and wood reflects a minimalist ethos. Thus complemented by black granite and steel perforated gates for a contemporary edge.
Innovative design touches include an open-to-sky courtyard in the son’s bedroom. The anthropometrically integrated staircase railings cater to residents of all heights. Thus ensuring individual needs are met while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. Sustainable principles are echoed in furniture crafted from leftover wood, ensuring every element serves both form and function.
This project not only meets but exceeds client expectations, delivering a harmonious living environment that balances tradition with modernity, privacy with connectivity, and simplicity with sophistication.
A custom-designed screen elegantly separates the main entry passage from the private garden adjoining the son’s bedroom, ensuring privacy while enhancing the aesthetic harmony of its surroundings.
Moreover, i stands as a testament to thoughtful design, seamlessly integrating architectural innovation with the natural and urban landscapes of Coimbatore.
