A meticulous design that is intrinsically nature centric and complemented by an alluring contemporary outlook; 'home REALM' is a labour of love, designed and curated by STUDIO MOON – a Trivandrum based Architecture studio – with exacting care that assures a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.

With the land spread across 8 cents in boundary, whether it is the verdant teak plantation gradually revealing the structure as we move towards it or the beautiful view towards the far away hills on one side, nature exists alongside this family that resides in this 1848 square feet home.

Observing the site surroundings, we decided to maximize its impact by framing nature and its prospect from every nook and cranny of the house. The landscape unfolds to accommodate a well, a steel structure car porch and an array of flowers and trees respecting the client's choice. They also required a contemporary design that equally integrated architectural elements that respect the notion of truth to materials. The house is Vaastu compliant with its main door facing east and south west serving as the Kannimoola for continuous ventilation.

The formal living room features rich views of the garden around and an incandescent ambience. The space emulates a lively yet elegant and soothing design language with tints of minimal elements in its course. The ceiling in the dining area portrays the study in chiselled wooden recess covered in veneer which drops from the ceiling. The interspersed spot lights on the false ceiling and other cove lights provide a gentle diffused ambience. Adding life to the design, one of the most attractive aspects stem from the client's love for window seating spaces and it gracefully blends with the designer's elements.

The dining space overlooks a double height space that displays an uncluttered square for the stairs, while the huge frosted glass window heightens the drama, as the stair space accommodates a constant trail of natural light. The bedrooms were conceptualized negating the use of ornamental luxurious elements and a simpler design brief was employed with creative elements. Even with its simple material play, the bedrooms still exude a luxuriant charm, mainly because of the spacious feel created, beautifully offset by the surrounding verdure. The designer brought magic into the space through a cosy reading area at the bay window.

A side facing private balcony abutting the bedroom makes the foliage appear almost like a natural screen. The tryst with nature continues throughout the house with more aesthetically pleasing materials and colour palettes with a minimalistic approach of contemporary architecture.
