Evident by the presence of jagali, defined as “a roofed platform elevated from the ground, along the outside of the house”, in the vernacular architecture of Karnataka and the use of materials like sandstone, wood and granite proves that this farmhouse is a throwback of rural architecture, both functionally and aesthetically.
Forming a strand, the jagali, deck and the utility space revolves around the house creating a cooling effect which keeps the interiors cool.
The house receives natural air and light from all four sides during the major part of the day which results in less usage of electricity.
Large glass windows on the northern side allow indirect light to infuse the internal spaces of the house.
The terrace is connected to the semi covered extended study area which is itself a piece of art, filled with the kinetic patterns responsive to the sun and the partition screen with planters.
The light and shadow configurations are further complemented by the rustic finishes used throughout the house.
A handmade block of terracotta, being a nontoxic and natural material, was the ideal choice for the ventilated facade screen. Each block broken down into openings of various sizes that restricts the harsh glare of the sun, creates patterned light inside, facilitates air flow into the house, different sized multiple openings acts as a dust trap and obstructs direct views into the house.
The portrayal of the house is dictated by the natural palette of sandstone and wood with muted colors, vivid Indian art and landscape together in different compositions are integrated beautifully with the lush green farm.
Being the focus, the ventilated jaali screen forms one half of the external facade with an impact in the vision, air and light of that space.
To sum it up, this home keeps aside all the formal layers of life and helps the users to be in a tranquil surrounding.
