Japanese Garden

This courtyard house in Kerala has an eye-catching sloping roof



Described as a ‘tropical home’ made to hold the passer-by’s attention, this home in Kannur is surrounded by greenery and blends traditional Kerala architecture with modern design elements. This was a result of the client’s desire to create a unique home with elements of surprise.

One of these elements is a green courtyard that sits in the centre. Naturally lit from all sides, the courtyard separates the public spaces from the family spaces in this 4-bedroom home. This also opens the home up, with minimal construction of partition walls.

The sloping roof, floating staircase and natural material palette are some of the key highlights of the project. The Principal Architects walk us through the home and explain the design elements and key materials that make the spaces feel open yet cosy.

  2. I loved the way you designed the house. Simply too good. The traditional interior was stunning.

  3. I saw a Japanese house designed by architects for their family like this. That was made of wood, of course. And trees were peeking out of the open space in between sloping roof which is covered with glass here.
    Good to know architects think like this in India as well.
