The main idea was to merge the built within the landscape. As the building ages and trees grow, the built and unbuilt will become more and more seamless. The design responds primarily to the context and brings its essence within. The central court is kept as the focus by the allure of red bricks representing the traditional nadumuttam. Areas have been woven together to create seamless floor spaces with a few landscaped elements.
Editor’s Note: The Pavilion House is one with Kerala’s tropical landscape, leaving one feeling like a mere speck in cosmic nature. The lush trees by the window aren’t mere spectators but welcoming hosts, treating the inhabitants as a guest in their own home. The material and colour palette are raw, earthy, and minimalistic. The elliptical lightwell is the protagonist, creating artworks of light and shadow on the interiors. – Gopika Pramod
Pavilion House’s Central Court is a Dynamic Storyteller | Attiks Architecture
The split-level renders better connectivity within the house, allowing private spaces to overlook the central court.
The Material palette is kept minimal, Kota stone flooring captures reflection and the exposed concrete ceiling adds a rustic charm.
Wooden flooring and the details bring in richness, with white walls tying it all together. Courtyards have been designed to serve multiple functions, making the space flexible and multifunctional.
Deck could occasionally turn into a gathering space / even a stage during festive gathering which the client had expressed a need for early on, in their requirements.
Skylights were added to create interest within the space. A well-lit home, the house sufficiently lit in the daytime with the light that comes in through skylight and slit windows eliminating the need for artificial light.
