Angaadi Veedu - Traditional Home

This is a contemporary house design rooted in tradition, with elaborate pillars, decorative ceramic tiles, and a sloping roof with Mangalore tiles. The house is covered by a sloping roof, a distinct feature of Kerala architecture to protect the walls from extreme weather. Large courtyards, verandahs, and sit-outs bring the outside warmth into the spacious interiors. The entrance faces the green fields, unlike the customary practice of the verandah overlooking the road. Traditional timber furniture, translucent furnishings, and light-coloured clean walls bring attention to the flooring. The open ventilators on the top floor and wooden windows in this sloping roof home also help keep the house cool. The sunken floor space in the foyer and the use of natural stone and timber add to the traditional charm of the house. A contemporary house that seamlessly integrates peace and comfort into the busy lives of the occupants. Client: C.A Abraham Panjikaran
