The double height sunken living room is brightly patterned with locally sourced handmade Athangudi tile. A stack effect with ventilation openings on top allows hot air to rise and cool air to enter, resulting in a cool microclimate year round.

The entire house is suffused with natural light. This view of the staircase from the lounge engenders a feeling of openness and light.

Lounge - view of the rice fields.

This wood and ferrocement built in dining table integrated with the flooring pattern is a cost effective and comfortable statement piece.
