Transforming a 7500 sqft Naalukettu House in Kerala for Mr. Siva Prasad
In the heart of Kerala, Mr. Siva Prasad envisioned a grand traditional home that would honor his cultural heritage while incorporating modern comforts. The project involved constructing a 7500 sqft Naalukettu-style house, a design deeply rooted in Kerala’s architectural traditions. With a budget of 2 crores, LavoroFeliz Interiors was entrusted with the challenge of creating a home that beautifully blended the essence of tradition with the luxuries of contemporary living.
Background
The Naalukettu house is a quintessential element of Kerala’s architectural legacy, known for its quadrangular structure, open courtyard, and intricate woodwork. Mr. Siva Prasad’s vision was to build a home that preserved these traditional elements while ensuring that it met the needs of modern family life. The design had to reflect the cultural richness of Kerala, with six spacious bedrooms, and other elements that complemented the grandeur of the Naalukettu style.
Design Approach
LavoroFeliz Interiors adopted a meticulous approach to preserve the authenticity of the Naalukettu style while integrating modern amenities. The design emphasized large open spaces, traditional wooden pillars, and a central courtyard (Nadumuttam), which served as the heart of the home. The layout was planned to ensure a natural flow between the various living spaces, providing both privacy and a sense of openness.
Material Selection
To honor the traditional aesthetics, the design team carefully selected materials that reflected Kerala’s rich cultural heritage. The use of teak wood for pillars, doors, and windows, along with terracotta tiles for the roofing, ensured that the home maintained its authentic traditional look. High-quality materials were chosen to blend with the traditional architecture, while modern elements like energy-efficient lighting and climate control systems were subtly incorporated to enhance comfort.
Blending Tradition with Modernity
While the exterior of the house celebrated traditional Kerala architecture, the interiors were designed to offer modern comforts. The six bedrooms were spacious and equipped with contemporary amenities, ensuring that each member of the family enjoyed both luxury and privacy. The design also included modern kitchen facilities, sleek bathrooms, and ample storage spaces, all designed to align with the overall traditional theme.
Cost Management
Managing a budget of 2 crores for a project of this scale required strategic planning. LavoroFeliz Interiors leveraged local craftsmen known for their expertise in traditional woodworking and used locally sourced materials to maintain the authenticity of the Naalukettu style. Despite the focus on tradition, modern construction techniques were employed to ensure that the project was completed within the budget and on schedule.
Seamless Integration
The seamless integration of traditional and modern elements was the hallmark of this project. The house retained its cultural essence while offering the luxuries expected in a modern home. The Nadumuttam, with its open sky courtyard, served as a serene gathering space, while the spacious bedrooms and living areas provided comfort and convenience for the entire family.
Result
The result was a stunning Naalukettu home that perfectly encapsulated the fusion of tradition and modernity. The house stood as a testament to Kerala’s rich architectural heritage, providing a warm, inviting space for Mr. Siva Prasad and his family. The combination of traditional design elements with modern amenities created a home that was both a cultural landmark and a comfortable living space.
Client Satisfaction
Mr. Siva Prasad was deeply satisfied with the outcome. The home not only fulfilled his vision of a traditional Naalukettu but also exceeded his expectations in terms of comfort and modern functionality. The attention to detail and the commitment to preserving cultural heritage while embracing modernity were particularly appreciated.
