Private Villa
Cheliya - Elathur, Kozhikode

The client, a vendor of high end flooring and other finishing materials, had a very refined taste in terms of quality of space and material finishes. This made our communication quite easy and rewarding, especially while conveying climate-responsive and passive climate-control strategies to counter the tropical heat and humidity of the region.

​

The project brief was very clear; minimise the building footprint, maximise the natural green area, and essentially design a house-in-a-garden.

The slope of the site allowed the vehicular entry to be positioned to the higher end of the plot which also was its rear end. This enabled the house to appear free of any vehicular driveways toward the front, which is usually very difficult to achieve in a compact plot.

​

The car parking space was also planned in such a way that it remained hidden from outside views, fully achieving the requirements of a ‘garden house’, where almost all spaces have expansive views toward the natural landscape and garden outside.
