VT Thomas’ brand new house at his home town in Poovarani near Pala in Kottayam district, Kerala, instantly grabs attention for its stylish and contemporary elevation. The family wanted a single-storey house with all the modern facilities. The square-shaped design features and the terracotta tile claddings add a classy elegance to the elevation. Besides, the green landscape, the garden and the compound wall enhances the grace of environs around the house.
The stylish and space-efficient cantilever car porch is the highlight of the exteriors. Meanwhile, the interiors are arranged according to the flow and direction of wind and natural sunshine.
