Sloping Roof Structure – A Classic with a Modern Twist

The dual-pitched sloping roof stands out as the most striking architectural element, drawing inspiration from Kerala’s traditional homes.

• Rainwater runoff advantage: Perfectly suited for Kerala’s monsoon climate, ensuring no waterlogging issues.
• Roofing material: Clay roof tiles, concrete shingles, or fiber cement sheets, painted in a deep blue shade that contrasts beautifully with the subtle exterior tones.
  This roof style not only adds elegance but also provides practical thermal insulation, keeping the interiors cooler during hot summer days.

Exterior Color Palette – Subtle and Soothing

The off-white and grey exterior strikes the right balance between contemporary minimalism and timeless appeal.

• Stone cladding accents: A vertical stone-clad column enhances the front elevation with its rustic texture.
• Natural wood elements: The warm wooden tones on the window frames and front door add an earthy touch, creating harmony with the lush greenery surrounding the home.
  Together, these design elements make the house look inviting and grounded, merging seamlessly with the natural environment.

Stone-Clad Column – Vertical Emphasis with Character

A prominent stone-clad column on the right side of the house adds an eye-catching vertical element.

• Functionality and beauty: Apart from being an aesthetic feature, the column can house structural supports, staircases, or even built-in storage units.
  This detail breaks the monotony of the smooth exterior walls, adding a layer of texture and sophistication.

Balcony and Flat Roof Section – Cozy Outdoor Spaces

The flat-roof balcony offers a cozy nook for evening relaxation or casual gatherings.

• Minimalist black metal railing: Provides safety while maintaining a sleek, modern look.
• Flat roof as a multipurpose area: Ideal for terrace gardening or even drying clothes on sunny days.

This additional outdoor space is not just functional but adds visual appeal, especially for those who enjoy spending time outdoors.

Front Porch and Entryway – A Warm Welcome

The covered porch serves as a charming entrance, supported by simple white pillars. It provides:

• Shade and rain protection for visitors.
• A perfect place to relax with a cup of tea, watching the rains pour down without getting wet.
  The front door features minimalistic geometric patterns, adding a modern twist to the otherwise traditional exterior.

Lush Landscaping – Nature’s Perfect Compliment

The house is surrounded by well-maintained greenery with flowering plants and shrubs.

• A gravel pathway leads to the entrance, adding to the home’s organic feel.
• Uplighting possibilities: Adding lights along the pathway or at the base of the plants would beautifully illuminate the exterior at night, enhancing the home’s charm.

Ventilated Upper Sections – Cooling Without Compromise

Vent panels under the gables prevent heat buildup in the upper portions of the house, ensuring passive cooling. This thoughtful addition reduces the need for artificial cooling, making the home more sustainable and comfortable.

Facade Texture and Wall Treatment – Layered Elegance

The walls feature textured paint and hints of stone finish, particularly around the windows, creating subtle depth.

• The combination of stone, wood, and cement adds layers of elegance, blending rustic charm with modern aesthetics.
