Located in the heart of Kollam, Fore House stands as a calm tropical retreat within the city center. Set on 15 cents out of a total 26-cent west-facing property, the 3,500 sq.ft residence blends modern design sensibilities with an earthy and minimal palette. The home is planned around two breathing courtyards that bring in light, air and a strong visual connection between spaces. Corridors and double-height volumes enhance this openness, creating fluid movement throughout the house.

With four bedrooms, an office, formal and family living areas, dining, kitchen, work area, upper living, and serene patios sheltered under generous roof overhangs, every corner is designed for comfort and practicality. Entering into a foyer corridor, separating public and private spaces, gives direct view to the breathing courtyard.  Fore House reflects a perfect balance of modernism and grounded tropical living — simple, functional, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
