Shanavas is thrilled as his friends and relatives shower praise on his brand-new house built at Tirur in Malappuram, Kerala. The family wanted a minimal house that looked compact but with all the modern facilities in the interiors. A sloped roof in multiple layers that are paved with roofing tiles is the highlight of the elevation. The house might look like a single-storey structure from the outside, but it, in fact, is a spacious two-storey building.

Adding the perfect contrast, the laterite wall cladding breaks the monotony of the plain white hue. Meanwhile, the car porch has been built separately without marring the scintillating look of the elevation.

The spaces are lavishly arranged in the interiors that are vaster. Designed in 3400 sqft, this amazing abode has a car porch, sit-out, formal and family living area, dining space, courtyard, kitchen with an adjacent work area and two bedrooms on the ground floor. Meanwhile, there are three more bedrooms, a living area and balcony on the upper floor.

The interiors have been designed as public, semi-public and private zones. Beautiful passages are what connect these perfectly furnished areas. Moreover, the interiors boast of lavish supply of natural light and cool air.

The staircase is built by paving wooden planks on GI frame. Meanwhile, the glass hand railings add a chic designer quality to it. The courtyard with a pergola and glass ceiling is the family’s favourite spot in the house. The golden sunlight that comes in through the pergola ceiling beautifully lights up the courtyard. This cosy courtyard is the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee or a hearty conversation. Moreover, the indoor plant terminalia too adds a hint of refreshing greenery here.

The dining area dons the classic colour combination of black and white. The nano white table top is sleek and clean. The chair done in black upholstery elevates the classy look of the dining table set.

The bedrooms are mostly designed in white and wooden theme, with lots of windows to enjoy the greenery outside. Meanwhile, the master bedroom is quite special with luxurious facilities. The bathroom here has an open-to-sky ceiling, bringing in a slice of nature. Moreover, a spacious walk-in wardrobe too is arranged in the master bedroom.

The cabinets built in multi-wood with laminate finish plays a pivotal role in making the modern kitchen space-efficient. The wooden colour of the cabinets grants a perfect contrast against the white walls. The countertop, meanwhile, has been paved with nano white. Besides, a quaint breakfast counter too is arranged here.

This house is located where you can enjoy clean air and beautiful greenery. The family is joyous that they have built a house that complements the surrounding nature.
