Private villa , Meppadi
Meppadi, Wayanad, KL
Located on a scenic cliff side in Meppadi, Wayanad, this site for a private villa is proposed for a renowned writer & philosopher, as a permanent residence.
Making use of the scenic views, the structure is elevated so as to minimise the impact on the ground, and also to maximise views outside. Additionally this also serves to improve natural ventilation & air flow through the house.
Large decks provide ample spaces for contemplation or leisure, as and when required.
The structure is designed as a lightweight steel frame with lightweight floor boards, wooden decks, and wooden floor finishes.
Operable glass shutters provide flexibility in terms of acoustic privacy and openness.
Above all, the design responds positively to the tropical upland climate of the region — enhancing user comfort, without being energy intensive.
