The Barn House is a modern tropical home wrapped in nature on a vast Awlegama plot, where a distinctive gable roof, single-storey ease and a forest-view roof terrace create a private sanctuary surrounded by greenery.

Modern Barn Aesthetics

A striking gable roof gives The Barn House its warm, modern-tropical character, a fresh take on the barn form that feels both contemporary and deeply at home in its lush green setting.

Efficient Single-Storey Living

Everything the family needs sits on one level, with elegant living and dining areas, a well-designed kitchen and comfortable bedrooms arranged for easy, breezy tropical living.

A Terrace Above the Forest

The home's roof terrace looks out over lush forest and landscaped garden, a private outdoor retreat for unwinding, entertaining or simply breathing in the surroundings.
