该项目位于一个相当拥挤的地区，距离连接喀拉拉邦南部两个沿海城市科奇和科济科德的国家公路几公里，朝东的场地在南北边界上已经被房屋包围，这成为住宅体量设计的一个决定性因素。住宅被设想为三个街区，大部分开口都朝向中央庭院，用屏风墙遮挡住前面的道路，让微风沙沙地吹进来，同时建立所需的隐私。
Set amidst a fairly occupied locality, a few kilometers away from the National Highway that connects Kochi and Kozhikode, two coastal cities in the southern state of Kerala, the east-facing site was already sided by houses on its north-south boundaries, which became a deciding factor in the massing design of the residence. The residence was envisioned as three blocks with the majority of openings directed towards the central courtyard, shielded from the front road by a screen wall allowing the breezes to rustle in while establishing the required privacy.
清晨的阳光照亮了整个家庭生活和用餐空间，成为住宅的连接区。较高的南面建筑容纳了双重高度的客人起居室和卧室，用最小的开口来对抗南方刺眼的阳光，同时在下午也为庭院遮阳。将上层建筑限制在南区，并将底层建筑的高度限制在最佳水平，是改善住宅内部流动性的一个基本考虑因素。
The morning sun brightens the entirety of the family living and dining spaces acting as the connecting block of the residence. The taller south block harbors the double-heightened guest living and bedrooms, with minimal openings to counter the harsh southern sun, while also shading the courtyard in the afternoons. Restricting the upper floor to the south block and limiting the ground floor height to optimum was a fundamental consideration contributing to the improved mobility inside the residence.
毗邻家庭生活区西侧的赤土瓦桁架屋顶创造了一个放松的环境，同时确保了对西方阳光的最大保温。根据客户的额外要求，北区的第一层包含了一个俯瞰中央庭院的露天聚会区，并设置了一个钢架屋顶，同时作为下面楼层的隔热层。
The terracotta tiled truss roof abutting the west side of the family living creates an ambient spot to unwind while ensuring maximum thermal insulation from the western sun. According to the additional requirements from the client, the first floor of the north block incorporates an open-air party area overlooking the central court is all set to get a steel trellis roofing also acting as a thermal barrier to the floor below.
在粉色色调的家庭生活区旁边，餐厅的特点是以粗糙纹理的石块作为桌面，木质的腿和椅子以焦琥珀色进行装饰，增加了整个空间的舒适感。内部装饰由我们的实习生完成的迷人的艺术作品，崇尚巧妙的印度织物的遗产，为不同的空间设置所需的情绪。体现在水泥、木头、石头、风化的钢铁和清爽的白色色调中的建筑结果，得到了引入该地的热带植物的很好的补充。
Alongside the family living overjoyed in pastel hues, the dining is characterized by a rough-textured monolith as the tabletop, with wooden legs and chairs tastefully finished in Burnt Amber adds to the cosiness of the overall space. The interiors are graced by charming artworks done by our interns, revering the heritage of ingenious Indian fabrics sublimely setting the moods required for different spaces. The resultant built, embodied in the shades of cement, wood, stone, weathered steel, and crisp white, is well-complimented by the tropical flora introduced to the site.
