Renovating the house near an old heritage hotel was an endeavor imbued with reverence for Kerala’s vernacular architecture and a vision for modern family living. With the family of the heritage hotel owners at its helm, the renovation seamlessly blended tradition with contemporary lifestyle demands. Drawing inspiration from Kerala’s rich architectural heritage, elements such as sloping roofs, wooden accents, and intricately carved details were integrated into the design, evoking a sense of cultural continuity. Attention was lavished on creating inviting outdoor seating areas and decks, fostering an ambiance conducive to social gatherings and entertaining guests. The heart of the home, a spacious living-dining area, effortlessly extends into the outdoors, providing ample space for hosting larger groups. This fusion of tradition and modernity pays homage to Kerala’s architectural legacy and reflects the vibrant spirit of a social family who delights in sharing their heritage with others.
