Modern traditional home design

Meera Pyarelal of the Thrissur-based studio reimagines the interiors of an ancestral home drawing cues from a seemingly disappearing architectural style of Kerala.

The entire house was conceptualized in the form of huge mass, voids of the same volume, and extended columns and beams to show an open structural grid. This project is defined by two principle elements. The first is the play of volumes in a dwelling that illustrates interesting double height spaces and second is the use of raw materials and perforated brick patterns.

This is a throwback to “INDIAN ROOTS” with dramatized traditional materials in a contemporary way. Each space has been given its own essence from the natural elements- Earth, Water, Fire, Air and the limitless Aether. This Traditional interior design is exactly what it sounds like: a traditional, warm, soothing, and familiar home décor style steeped in the customs of the past but not limited to any one historical period
