inspiration behind the elevation of
"The Bougainvillea House"
"The Bougainvillea House"
The design of “The BougainVillea House” draws inspiration from George Orwell’s residence in Oxfordshire. Eric Arthur Blair (better known by his pen name, George Orwell) was a renowned British novelist, poet, essayist, journalist, and critic. He lived in this traditional English farmhouse in Oxfordshire while writing The Road to Wigan Pier in 1937.
The architectural style is a classic representation of traditional English farmhouses, featuring a steep gabled roof, a wide wrap-around porch, and a simple yet elegant aesthetic. Emphasizing both charm and practicality, the structure is distinguished by its rustic wooden exterior with vertical planks. The elevated foundation and tall, shuttered windows enhance natural ventilation, making it ideal for warm climates. The expansive porch, supported by robust columns, functions as both a welcoming social space and a seamless link between the indoors and the outdoors. With muted tones and clean lines, the design embodies a vintage appeal, gracefully merging functionality with timeless country elegance.
