The Design
The Coconut Grove house is a sustainable farmhouse designed with a traditional touch. The load-bearing structure is inspired by the local architecture of Karnataka and features elements such as the Jagli Katte and Angla, which add an old-world charm to this contemporary retreat. Built using local materials such as Kadapa stones, oxide flooring, and Betham Cherla stones, the farmhouse boasts ample ventilation and natural light. The interior design is simple yet elegant, with a focus on comfort and relaxation. The design incorporates sustainable architecture principles, allowing natural ventilation and optimizing the use of natural resources. It is set to be completed in monsoon this year and is the perfect weekend home to enjoy the lush farmland, coconut plantation, and the company of farm animals.
