FARMHOUS AT DINDORI, NASHIK

The area is encircled by a lot of flora. This farmhouse has been designed to look like an Indian wada since the client wanted it to have a traditional appearance. This farmhouse is equipped with a veranda, windows, doors, a Tulsi Vrindavan in the courtyard, ornate fascia boards, and lanterns in the garden in place of bollard lights. The facade’s exposed brick cladding completes the rustic appearance and offers the ideal setting for the vegetation.
