We incorporated a forty-foot Kota stone wall to guide entry, ensuring the interior architecture remains focused on the surrounding coffee plantation views rather than competing with them. For the Polibetta Farmhouse project, the primary design challenge was to create a modern structure that felt honest within a sprawling coffee estate. We developed a two-wing plan connected by a well-lit, linear gallery that maintains sightlines to the outdoors throughout the day. Material selection was driven by local availability and climatic response. We utilized cement oxide for flooring and white-rendered walls to create a light, reflective interior that contrasts with the misty Coorg climate. A key technical feature of the project is the upcycling of timber rafters from the previous structure, which were repurposed into false ceilings and custom door frames, reducing waste while adding warmth to the living areas. Bathrooms incorporate ocean green granite in various finishes, creating a calm, monochromatic environment that responds to natural light via skylights. The overall structure is sited to maximize cross-ventilation and views, using a pitched roof system that provides protection from the heavy monsoon rains typical of the region. This project serves as a model for how contemporary architecture can respect rural site context without resorting to traditional decorative tropes. ## About Studio 4A We are a Bangalore-based architecture studio focused on creating spaces that respect their site context. Our work at the Polibetta Farmhouse reflects our commitment to blending minimalist modern lines with natural materials like Kota stone and reclaimed timber.
