Rohith and Meera’s brand-new house at Angamaly seems like it has been built just to enjoy the ravishing beauty of the rains. The couple, both admirers of classical music, didn’t think twice before giving their dream dwelling the name of a raga-‘Megha Malhar’. The structure has been designed to suit the unique tropical climate of Kerala that receives rains for six months in a year.
There are specific spots in the house from where you could enjoy the beauty of rains. Architect Abhijith of the Responsive Architectural Well-being (RAW) is credited for designing such a marvellous house. Besides the main gate, there is a traditional-style padippura too.
The padippura, the entrance door and the corridor inside the house is aligned in a straight line. This amazing tropical abode built in 2950 sqft has a car porch, long sit-out, living and dining areas, kitchen with a courtyard, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor. Meanwhile, the upper floor has two more bedrooms, a bathroom, a multi-utility area, pooja space and a balcony.
The house dons earthy tones at certain spots, that are delightful to the eyes. The clay tiles paved on the sloped roof and the highlighter walls built using brick stone cladding finish on both sides grant a rustic charm to the house. The long and spacious sit-out with in-built sitting area is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in the captivating allure of the monsoon rains.
The entrance door, crafted in teak wood boasts intricate designer carv.
