Project Summary
The Modern Tropical Residence is a private residential project designed to respond to the tropical climate of Kerala while expressing a contemporary architectural language. The design emphasises visual and physical connection between interior and exterior spaces, drawing the courtyard into the heart of the home as both a bioclimatic device and a social anchor.
The project explores the relationship between built form and nature through carefully considered section cuts, material choices, and the integration of a central courtyard with a double-height staircase. The result is a home that is light-filled, naturally ventilated, and spatially generous despite a compact footprint.
