Hi Guys,
I want to build a farm house / Glass house in piece of land of about 50000 sq ft. Farm house should be of some 2000 to 2500 Sq Ft. I have checked so many design but I am yet to convince with any one. I request all of you to suggest some economical yet beautiful design of farm house which fits into my tiny budget. Herewith, I post some designs which has impressed me. Though they seem to be costly, I can take some clue to make a house of my dream. I am a poor man, so do not post very huge and costly design which I can not think think to make even in my dreams.
Some criterion I have fixed are
1) there should be a swimming pool and a fountain in the front.
2) Drawing room/ Hall/ living room should have glass at least two side.
3) It should have 4 bed rooms and one kitchen.
4) It should have a provision of terrace garden.
5) Bed Rooms should be of 250 Sq ft atleast.
6) Desugn Should not be boxy.
7) there should be some provision for plantation in house or adjecent area.
8) Ceiling height should be atleast be 11 ft.
Kindly suggest some good design. If I like that, you will be able to stay there whenever you come to India with your family and friends.

best of luck brotherGood one but too big and not asthatical.
I don't want privacy. For privacy, bed rooms are there.
I know it's too costly but I want best design in my budget. I want it to be a master piece of design. I hope I would be able to freeze design in an year and half.

May be you are right but there need to be too big windows to enjoy beauty of Greenery outside.
best of luck brother
why not... wish for a dream home after spending your fortune. the best thing will be to achieve your dream within your means.
you main challenge will be reliable and honest contractors and labour force. they tend to **** you up with over spread due to deliberate misguiding and waste and they have laugh behind your back,. this tendency is true for all races, religions and nationalities and all times these guys get dark humor by making the owner suffer.
knowing the costs and time and staying on top of your game might reduce your losses
also please hire a good architect and designer he / she will give you best options and advice specially given the climate and suitable material and your dream design.
may you achieve your dream soon and spend long time with your family and loved ones with pride and joy

Some of my favourite designs. View attachment 520214View attachment 520215View attachment 520217View attachment 520218
I understand that you are looking for aesthetically pleasing design which is challenging and has utility as well. having a rough Idea in mind is good. you might want to get a good 3 D program to start with a rough layout and then morph it as you add or remove design ideas. I would even go for SIM4 for a start until you get a proper program. I would like a design that takes advantage of the landscape and has some self sustaining features like some own electricity etc.Thank you very much sir. Your post conveys lot more than written it. Your just one post is enough to let me know how kind and innocent hearted human being you are. True, my life is a piece of life having lots of injustices and backstabing but yet god has given me enough to fullfill my small dreams. Yes, I will hire some good architect but I want to have some basic design my mind because I don't want anything less than best in my budget. I will invite you and many others when I will inauguratie it. I will post photos as well. I do have good contracrors working with me. They can do my work with almost no profit. I want to incorporate so many goodies into it. I have some very good friends there who will help me in this. I will go to see lands next month. I will keep informing here. A rough idea has started evolving in my mind. The most chellinge work is working out some good design. I will work on it for almost a year to freeze it. I expect some valuable feedback from forum members.
Thank you very much.

tell us about the topography, the climate and general weather conditions so that we can visualize it better.
given the harsh environment and very limited water and power issues I am eyeing for subterranean deign of my house with solar panels and means to conserve rain water if and when it falls to use for sewerage/ flushing and keeping fresh water only for drinking.
Thanks .please refine my requirements. I will be greatful.
I have something like last in my mind.
Ya but it can have big windows like my current house.
