Plants and greenery represent life; they nurture and nourish a space and vice-versa. The soft green is naturally soothing to the eyes of all ages, the idea of bringing bits of a garden inside every little nook served to find a common ground amongst all family members thus. We wanted to create the space that has oodles of freshness, cozy and warm in every nook and sprinkled with a touch of traditional local flavours.

The villa with its three floors gave way to the concept of a tweaked Japanese garden with its three levels, public, semi- private and private.

We involved local artisans and craftsmen in creating furniture, tiles and other designs as a contemporary ode to the bygone era. We also visited dilapidated houses in and around Kochi and sourced out old woodwork from there so as to salvage and restore them within this project.
