Kamshet Farmhouse Architecture and Design

The entrance to the Kamshet farmhouse is designed as a welcoming, open-air passage. The combination of red brick, a stone foundation, and lush, layered planting creates a seamless transition from the garden to the interior spaces.

The farmhouse in Kamshet is defined by its long, covered verandas supported by a timber frame structure. These spaces provide shelter from the sun and rain while maintaining a constant connection to the surrounding landscape.

The courtyard of the Kamshet farmhouse takes shape, defined by a timber colonnade. This central space will become the heart of the home, an open-to-sky area that connects the different wings of the house.
