You could say this modern farmhouse plan has one up on the rest – this rooftop garden house by Japanese architecture firm, Archi Farm, blends the flair of Japanese house design with the function of a farmhouse. But the result isn’t quite what you might envision. The open concept home features living areas delineated by different levels, minimizing the need for walls and promoting socialization. This raised house plan is most notable for its green – a lawn in the unconventional spot of the second-floor walk-out. It makes sense though when you think about it, as below the lawn is a sheltered and hidden storage space to park the heavy (not to mention unsightly) farm equipment. And speaking of “green,” another great feature is the well-water cooling system that naturally regulates indoor temperature by pumping ground water up. Archi Farm
