Set in a landscape that reminisces residential properties of yesteryear Kerala dating back to the 80’s when houses were placed in the middle of a relatively larger plot which not only accommodates a private garden, a kitchen garden and held flora and fauna that was more than of ornamental purpose. The ones that remind you of settings in a Sathyan Anthikkad movie where the story is set in a quaint rural village of sorts with all its innocence. The clients: husband, wife and their two kids decided to live within close proximity with both of their parents once they settle down in their own home.

Staying true to the narrative, the house is placed as far as possible from the boundary enabling good enough frontage that becomes room for many varieties of local plants and trees. The husband’s ancestral home can be reached from the backyard making it one large property than a minuscule box that just contains the house.

The planning of the house is done in such a way that majority of the functions are assigned to the spaces in the ground floor with just one bed room and a utility space happening in the first floor. 

The planning is somewhat axial where courtyards and passages divide the spaces into quadrants based on their nature. As in segregation between private, semi-private and non-private spaces are delineated with just enough walls being used.

The courtyards thus formed makes room for adding a touch of green in the interiors also providing niches wherein the users can sit idly and stargaze sometimes during the night. 

The palette of materials and textures reveals the house as a humble entity with just enough things tailor made for the users involved, also trying to evoke a sense of warmth for them.
