This brand-new home, which is surrounded by lush greenery and swaying coconut palms, is a beautiful mix of Kerala's traditional architecture and modern design ideas. We're excited to show you this project: a home that honors custom while also living in comfort and being environmentally friendly.
🏏 The idea that led to the design
With all the comforts of modern life, this home was made for a family who wanted to stay connected to Kerala's rich cultural values. The end result is a building that fits in with its surroundings and is made of beautiful and useful materials and shapes.
What is the key point? Several sloped tiled roofs that look like traditional Kerala nalukettu homes but are designed in bright geometric shapes. The roofs of these buildings are not only beautiful to look at; they also do a useful job by letting rainwater drain easily during the rains and keeping the house cool and airy all year.
😱 Things That Matter Natural Laterite and stone cladding gives a building a rustic look and keeps the inside at a comfortable temperature.
Clay Roof Tiles: These traditional tiles add to the tropical look and help build in a way that is good for the environment.
Wooden Louvres and Slatted Panels: These add warmth and privacy, let air flow through, and make beautiful shadow patterns during the day.
Concrete and steel frames: make sure the structure lasts and is up-to-date. 🥵 Gardening and Getting Close to Nature
We paid extra attention to making sure that the link between indoors and outdoors was smooth. The building's footprint is covered in lush courtyards, vertical gardens, and green borders that make the home blend in perfectly with its tropical setting. A beautiful pitched roof provides shade for the car porch, which opens up to a green path that leads to the front door of the house.
️ Rooms That Show Off Your Style This house has the following rooms:
A living room with two levels and clerestory windows that let in lots of natural light
Private decks are perfect for a morning coffee or some quiet time to think.
For modern family life, an open-plan kitchen and eating area
Systems that use less energy, smart lights, and passive cooling methods
