Residences for Mr. Dinesh & Mr.Raghunathan are being constructed at Thanjavur & Vallam - Beautiful Regional traditionalism infused modern houses.
Social interactive spaces and green courtyards intertwined together to create an ambiance that has the openness of the Tamil houses, simultaneously achieving privacy needed in the modern world. The use of Thinnai in a modernized touch gives a sense of being really at home.
The roof of the house is a rendition of the vaulted construction of the Cholas and Maratha kings, Mostly in South Indian Temples. It's a predominant feature. Both the clients respect for tradition equals our own and that healthy bond made these unique features possible.
The use of local materials such as stone, exposed brick, laterite, and other materials helps in reducing the cost of construction and makes the buildings more responsive to the climate, hence giving us a better atmosphere within the house.
The houses feature double-height courtyards which give a divine feel to the entire living. The skylight is positioned in such a manner that it does not invade the privacy within the house, yet illuminates all the spaces inside. The courtyards in the house are designed for gathering and talking, keeping a continuous bond within the family as the good old times.
The Incorporation of locally available materials in different and unique ways can be seen achieved in both projects.
