A Colonial-Style Residence in Vijayapuram, Kottayam – 2700 Sq. Ft. of Timeless Grace
Set against the lush green backdrop of Vijayapuram, this 2700 square foot residence reflects a refined interpretation of colonial architecture, tailored for modern tropical living. Designed for a family that values both tradition and comfort, the home combines graceful proportions with carefully chosen details that speak to its context.
The facade is composed of a harmonious blend of plastered walls and stone cladding, lending texture and permanence. A series of steeply pitched gable roofs in deep maroon break up the massing, creating rhythm and adding to the structure’s vertical elegance. Arched wooden windows punctuate the elevations, their forms echoing classical sensibilities while bringing in generous daylight.
The entry verandah is framed by slender columns and vintage-style lighting, setting a welcoming tone. Inside, spaces flow organically—from the expansive living area to a double-height dining space that draws the eye upward, enhancing the sense of openness. Every element—from the traditional balustrades on the upper balcony to the patterned driveway laid in Bangalore stone—is thoughtfully curated to balance heritage charm with contemporary functionality.
With tropical landscaping, ambient lighting, and a car porch seamlessly integrated into the overall form, this residence becomes more than a house—it becomes a serene statement of architecture rooted in place and memory.
