Client: Mr. Varun
Location: Pathanamthitta, Kerala
Built-up Area: 3,150 sq.ft.

Nestled in the serene greenscape of Pathanamthitta, Kerala, this 3,150 sq.ft. residence is a harmonious blend of traditional Kerala architecture and clean contemporary design, crafted for Mr. Varun. The home is a thoughtful response to the region’s tropical climate and cultural identity.

A striking pitched terracotta roof defines the visual character of the house, offering both climatic efficiency and contextual harmony. The layered sloping volumes add depth to the façade, while overhangs and recessed balconies provide shade and shelter, creating a comfortable living environment throughout the year.

The material palette is grounded in simplicity and elegance—crisp white walls contrast with warm terracotta, exposed concrete elements, and natural timber fenestrations. Vertical and horizontal projections punctuate the elevation, offering dynamic shadow play and enhancing passive cooling.

Landscaped green buffers, cascading planters, and shaded sit-outs seamlessly connect the indoors with nature. The main entrance, framed by a clean portico and flanked by lush planting, leads into a home that emphasizes openness, cross ventilation, and natural light.

Sustainable, serene, and culturally rooted, this residence reflects a modern family's aspirations while respecting the spirit of Kerala’s architectural heritage.
