Dr. Reshmi and Dr. Shivakumar's WEEKEND HOME at YERCAUD
This weekend abode in Yercaud is designed for a Salem based doctor couple; Dr. Reshmi, a gynaecologist and Dr. Shivakumar, an Oncologist. We thank them for entrusting us with the project.
Weekend getaway is all about relaxation and rejuvenation and this best describes this dwelling. With Yercaud's cool, foggy and pleasant climate being no secret, an addition to this habitat is a picturesque landscape. An alluring entrance path encompasses a series of stepping stones on a lily pond in the North to the pathway which ceases at the welcome pavilion.The scenic view laid out by the bamboo trees in the east and a water body in the North east is taken advantage of by providing a glazed wall commencing at welcome pavilion and extending till the fancy kitchen. The facade is fabricated in an interesting aspect by designing the slope angle of the roof to be more inclined. The able design team of MA aimed at an environmentally responsive design and hence the contour and existing trees were retained with the abode being designed in accordance with it. The usage of locally available stones in the construction not only adds to the sustainability factor but also to its affiliation with the region. This is further enhanced by providing spaces such as chat terrace and gazebo that capture the breathtaking views vindicating the phrase; bringing the outside, inside. In precise, this skillfully designed weekend getaway is a joyful escape from the hectic lifestyle that aims at relaxation and rejuvenation.
