Nestled in the serene locality of Kollad, Kottayam, this 5936 sq.ft residence embodies the essence of traditional Kerala architecture while addressing the functional needs of a modern family. Although designed for a four-member household, the home’s spatial planning thoughtfully accommodates extended family gatherings and communal living.

​

The house features four spacious bedrooms with attached bathrooms, and two large halls—one on each floor—interconnected by wide hallways that enhance circulation and openness. The upper-level hall serves as a social hub for family activities, while the ground floor is designed with flexibility in mind. Here, operable partition walls allow the space to adapt easily into extra sleeping areas or a study, depending on the need.

​

Taking advantage of the site's natural terrain, both floors have separate vehicular access, providing convenience and privacy. A highlight of the residence is its first-floor roofed terrace, offering scenic views of the surrounding paddy fields. This terrace seamlessly extends into an open seating area, ideal for relaxation and outdoor conversations.

​

Adding to the functionality of the site is a 500 sq.ft outhouse, constructed using steel frames and lightweight panel boards. This compact structure includes a bedroom with attached bathroom, a kitchen, and a loft—perfect as a guest house or secondary living space.
