A farmhouse rooted in tradition and function
ACE Update Design Sense
|September 2025
"This farmhouse is more than a residence-it is an experiential haven that celebrates Kerala's architectural legacy, enhances comfort, and honours the beauty of slow, mindful living."
The goal was to design and realise a Kerala-style farmhouse that harmoniously blended tradition with modern functionality.
Rooted in vernacular architectural language and cultural identity, the design seeks to create a timeless retreat that offers comfort, authenticity, and a deep connection to place. The home embodies principles of heritage, sustainability, and craftsmanship, while accommodating the client's lifestyle needs with refined simplicity.
Drawing inspiration from Kerala's traditional architecture, the farmhouse is a haven with sloping tiled roofs, deep verandahs, and wooden columns. At its core lies the philosophy of openness—where courtyards and extended verandahs promote cross-ventilation, natural light, and a seamless connection to the outdoors.
