Being a devout spiritualist and residing in a village with a rich cultural heritage, he wanted the symbolisation of the local context and the richness of the temple architecture to reflect in the very own space that can be defi ned as his home.

Site

The site is situated in a rural area, which is closely associated with Theyyam, an ancient ritual art form that showcases the region's spiritual depth and cultural pride. As we approach the site, we encounter the beauty of paddy fields and the intricate character of Northern Kerala temples. Hence, it was crucial that the design of this dream home enhances the context, rather than being an odd character in the midst of the rich culture. This was the root of the concept that later evolved as the core of the design.
