Conceptualization

Client Brief:
The client sought a culturally rich and traditional South Indian aesthetic rooted in timeless materials.

Design Inspiration:
Deeply influenced by Chettinad architecture renowned for wooden carvings, ethnic motifs, and earthy tones.

Key Elements & Materials:

• Woodwork: Carved columns, jhulas with brass chains, and furniture with traditional forms.

• Athangudi Tiles: Custom patterns for skirting and flooring.

• Kota & Slate Stones: For organic texture and durability.

• Brass Accents: Handles, hooks, and decor for vintage charm.

Master bedroom blends Chettinad tradition with modern simplicity. The mustard oxide flooring and teak wood finishes bring warmth and heritage. A custom color-blocked headboard adds subtle vibrance, while wooden pendant lights and floating nightstands enhance functionality.

The circular window opens to a road, inviting natural light, and the shuttered wooden window opens to a courtyard, enabling cross ventilation. Together, the earthy materials, crafted details, and natural light create a serene, timeless retreat.

A serene, light-filled spa designed as a private retreat within the home. The space features a sunken jacuzzi set against a stone-clad backdrop, with pebble mosaic flooring enhancing its tactile charm.

Teak-toned wooden flooring, built-in seating, and soft-toned cushions add warmth and comfort, reflecting the Chettinad-inspired material palette. The glass enclosure and skylit roof with exposed rafters bring in natural light, creating a calm and rejuvenating atmosphere.
