Designed in response to the tropical climate and local architectural character, this residence draws inspiration from the vernacular architecture of coastal India. Sloping tiled roofs, deep overhangs, exposed timber columns, and handcrafted brick jaali walls come together to create a timeless built form that is both functional and contextually rooted. These passive design elements provide shade, promote natural ventilation, and establish a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
