The house looks simple and minimalist at the very first glance itself with its design features leading the way to it. The laterally spread orientation of the elevation design is subtly disrupted with a cantilevered box, that cuts across and breaks the massiveness in elevation into lighter sections. The house balances the space proportions in a way that makes it rooted to its environment.

The Focus element of the design pops out breaking the horizontality of the front facade

The view from the rubber plantation,captures one’s attention right from the far access. The dwelling morally gels in its natural context with its exemplary features popping out to catch the eye’s gentle attention.

Solids and voids in the design ensures the penetration of lights to the exteriors and creates the play of light with pattern during the night.

Camp jali screen and large window opening towards the outdoor garden area offers a play of complimenting red and green combination at the threshold of the house.

Camp jali screens provided on either side of the core area and large windows opening towards the outdoor garden area ensures enough light and ventilation to the interiors.

The Exterior landscape also follows the simplicity and adds on to the minimalistic concept of the design.

The house has a total of 3 bedrooms- two on the ground floor and one on the first, which are zoned and placed considering the requested privacy.

The Car porch and much welcoming sit out area are separated using a small Koi pond and camp jali screens which offers a play of complimenting red and green combination at the threshold of the house.

The living, dining and kitchen spaces, all aligned in a row, have very limited wall separations between them. Thus these spaces which forms the active core of the house remain connected and open all the time. This also helps in overcoming the space constraints due to limited footprint that was available to build.

A courtyard is provided beside the dining area and between the bedrooms, bringing in the landscape to the indoors as well. The courtyard adds life to the space with breathing walls and plants.

The interiors are adorned with minimalist furniture and designs in plywood, aiding in increasing the visual capacity of spaces. A color pallet of Red, white and grey are chosen for the house interiors as well as exteriors. The boldness of red balances the subtleness of grey and compliments the indoor and outdoor greens in the most natural way.
