A single story residence offering the secure sense of home to the family by creating for them a world within itself. This tranquil home in Edathirinji, Kerala, India, is an amalgamation of modern architecture elements into a tropical architecture, giving prime importance to the ‘MAJLIS’ (sitting room) and interactive spaces. Spaces here were conceived to allow a natural flow and interaction within, wrapped in the most stimulating elements of nature- light, air, and water.
‘The first glance of this residence and its quite difficult to take your eyes off. A pattern of lines is in a unison effort around the house. The design approach is like a breadth of fresh air with sound and warm materials.’- Nishal Sevak(Co-Editor)
