421 Indian Garden Design Ideas

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

Divided into public and private spaces, this residence provides pockets of green spaces that is tailored to provide comfort and lounge in.

Located in Ayroor, Kerala this family home that sits on the banks of the Chalakudy river is nothing less than a mini-ecosystem within itself — self-sufficient and symbiotic. Using local masons, carpenters, contractors and construction methods, this home was completed with natural materials such as terracotta and laterite tiles, kota stone and terracotta jaali blocks. A generous verandah wraps around three sides and a large open terrace on the upper floor maximises the spectacular views out onto the river. The house is an extension of the clients’ (perfect) idea of living a retired life.
