Floor Area:3300 sq.ft

This house belongs to a family who has a modern lifestyle but is deeply rooted in tradition. Certain motifs are developed towards a design language exemplifying the fusion of contemporary needs and elements of traditional south Indian houses. Location of pooja, opening up and bringing focus to the core of the site and building – the brahma-sthana is central to the house. Athangudi tiles are used throughout the house which imparts that distinct Chettinad-charm. Use of the handmade articles, be it floor-tiles, brackets, fabrics, carved-wood panels, tiled mural in the light-well or the hand-crafted furniture, give this home its distinct flavour. Deep wood tones coupled with exposed brick and red/yellow athangudi tiles, lit up by plenty of natural light, give this home its warmth.
