2017-Muvattupuzha, Kerala
As luxury meets the enthralling landscape of Kerala, this project is a reflection of maintaining the essence of simplicity in residential design. The design brief narrates a composition, standing true to the nuances of the site. It was an exciting journey in wrapping the needs of the client, within our design beliefs. The living, dining and family room, being the crux of the plan is kept close and intact, having private spaces that include the bedrooms on one side and the kitchen and utilities on the other. The site is located on an elevated ground and hence, the highest point has been chosen to achieve a gradual flowing landscape into the built mass. All the liveable spaces have been consciously designed to have verandahs and pockets in between to enjoy good light, ventilation and surroundings. The neutral colour palette, the prominent use of wood in the interiors and Italian marble for flooring were techniques to emphasize classical and modern design decisions. Another integral part is a gazebo located on the north eastern side of the site which is approached by a colonnaded walkway made of reclaimed wood. The entertainment room on the first floor adds to the most opulent part of this home. The project is a measure of true joy in living, redefining the experiences of a residence.
