A contemporary + traditional Kerela home in Coimbatore.

We wanted to creat a work of art which is contemporary yet reflecting our traditional elements. Keeping that in mind we used Kerela traditional roof profile but used wooden shingle to give it a contemporary expression. Coimbatore is a hot and dry area, so we used courtyards and larger openings for the free flow of air. The wooden panels in the first floor balcony has been used as a design element and it provides privacy when required.
