Custom homes & villas
Family homes across Kerala, built for hill climate and craft traditions.
Our Kerala studio works across the state on residential, holiday-home and hospitality projects. From plantation bungalows on hill estates to boutique homestays and family homes, we design and build in a way that matches Kerala's climate, materials and craft traditions.
Kerala is not a city, and a house in Kerala cannot be built like a house in an inland metro. The hill country sits at 700 to 2,100 metres in the Western Ghats. Monsoon arrives in June and lingers through September, with a second spell of post-monsoon rain in October and November. Humidity stays high through much of the year.
Local building tradition has answered all of this for centuries: sloped clay roofs with deep overhangs, raised plinths, breathing walls in laterite or country stone, oxide and IPS floors, deep verandahs and central courtyards. Our practice draws directly on that vocabulary, whether the brief is a traditional plantation bungalow or a sharply contemporary villa.
