Set within a 2.5-acre plot, The Equilibrium Farmhouses, a group of five homes are developed for the same family to open out onto a verdant landscape, celebrating multiple dialogues between the built and its environment.
A clear distinction between private and public space forms a defining factor, driving the planning with landscaping to create soft boundaries between one house and the other. Private gardens and internal courts are planned with striking landscaped elements that act as focal points, anchoring each space to the site.
Designed as a framework within which nature can be experienced, the architectural expression itself is explored as a medium for fostering intimate relationships with light, air and greenery, seeking refuge from the chaos of urban life with houses that celebrate peace and well-being through biophilic design.
