Featured Architectural Projects: Heritage Design and Modern Living

Witness the complete transformation of Sa Sha Villa in Kannur. This video shows how I took an existing structure and reimagined it into a contemporary residence, focusing on improving natural light, creating functional spaces like this study nook under the stairs, and upgrading the entire aesthetic from the exterior facade to the interior finishes.

For the Sitaram Ayurvedic Resort in Natika, I designed this common area to feel both expansive and intimate. The design uses a traditional timber-framed roof with terracotta tiles, a central wooden swing (oonjal), and an open layout to create a serene, welcoming space that reflects the principles of Ayurveda and Keralan heritage.

In this walkthrough of Kuttiyil House, I explain my design philosophy firsthand. I discuss how I divide spaces, integrate nature through courtyards and large windows, and use traditional materials like laterite stone to create a home that is both timeless and deeply connected to its surroundings.

The exterior of Kuttiyil House at dusk, where the design truly comes alive. The sloped terracotta roofs, laterite walls, and warm landscape lighting work together to create an inviting and majestic presence, showcasing how traditional architecture can be both grand and grounded in nature.

This is a preview of my design for Restaurant Chef Pillai in Calicut, a project where we adapted a heritage building. The concept blends vintage charm with the functional needs of a fine dining establishment, featuring an elegant interior with dark wood beams, traditional seating, and a facade that honors the building's history.

In this bedroom at Kuttiyil House, I designed a direct connection to a private courtyard. The four-poster bed adds a touch of classic elegance, while the large glass doors and the view of the laterite jali wall and greenery blur the line between indoors and outdoors, creating a peaceful personal retreat.
