This is one the best designed houses profiled by Buildofy. Very tastefully and cleverly done, unlike the flashy houses from a state which dominates Buildofy's channel of late.

[@rajavikramvarma4052]

Flashy houses loses their charm after few years but this well thought out masterpiece ages so good with time

[@kooldips79]

I think it's a spectacularly designed house with excelent finish..I loved the work on the bathroom in the house..

[@slckrqn]

Sure, it's not shiny and colorful and full of flashy little features that make most common people go wow, but it's beautifully thought through and has so many little visually interesting elements that it becomes truly unique and special. Great job Meister Varma. Would love to see more of your work on Buildofy!

[@girishradhakrishnan2699]

*I don't know why almost all architects love exposed concrete and gray colour, you need double the room lighting and sunshine, depressing walls. Too much gray color can impact on clients metal health. This is a house not jail*

[@MickyOnline]

Very True. Giving wall a smooth surface with light colourwash or wallpaper would have been a better choice.

[@miu3239]

What if the clients wants it or even architect is the client.

[@girishradhakrishnan2699]

@@miu3239 My question is why I am am seeing this gray trend and exposed concrete thing every where..

[@blckeys73]

It's comes in the category of Industrial interior design concept

[@sainul.abid.k]

@@miu3239 You guessed it right. That is his home in fact.

[@ArpithaChandrappa-vr9qq]

A very thoughtful design, lovely and absolutely mindful, without any frills.

[@xsrox420]

Simple yet well designed house! I don't think most people in the comment section have an idea of how a house could be tastefully done with minimal tones and materials. Thanks for sharing Meister Varma.

[@jaisygeorgr9845]

Good house .but there are many misses .I gues you understand how tropical climate works ..already the stains are showing in the outer paints . Also the house vibe is cutdown by the grey cement finished all ovee the walls .

[@puneetsingh7138]

Well done Varma paaji...

[@tisha8253]

House is deprived of natural light But,like the idea of blending traditional look with a touch of minimalist decor.

[@jeetsalvi8424]

Excellent work.. concrete finish looks so modern & earthy 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 I

[@miu3239]

Some clever space planning and multi functional spaces, The low level open sockets with kids around are tragedy waiting to happen, the Steel mullions and frames are sleek but are already starting to rust and weep onto the façade unless the architect wants to call it "Patina", lack of hanging wardrobe space is interesting, if this is not the architect's house.

[@ar.goku1]

I love the switches

[@arunk8686]

What a beauty!

[@emayavarambanudhayasurian5065]

beautiful...wht was the budget

[@AmitShYT]

Design is very good.. a touch of green-eco-architecture in it.. but theme is very dark.. use of dark colored oxides and polished cement makes it look dark.. black flooring is very nice and it's very affordable too

[@jaisygeorgr9845]

The inside cement paint on walls will make it more darker

[@amitdudhankar2672]

Architect has done a good job and i wish the client who is so open to new ideas..Kerala is at the forefront of urban residential architecture experimentation..client & architects alike..

[@baburaja8313]

Excellent planning, beautiful construction,will you tell me the cost of this house.as iam planning to construct a house in Hyderabad, AP.

[@miu3239]

its most likely around 2000-2500 per sft for the construction cost alone. so u can budget 40-50L for a house this size in a similar setting, I practice Hyderabad you can contact me if you like for you well planned house.

[@gopikrishnanr8379]

Awesome home and good build. What was the cost for the build?

[@gokulkannan5793]

How can we cement polish the wall ??

[@vinubox]

Those exposed walls 👌

[@TumeloMotsoeneng]

Great design on a small space and where safety security and privacy is a concern. My thoughts are that the second floor could do with a bit more lighting.

[@SB-gc7gp]

Would have looked better with white interiors. Makes the space look bright & big as well.

[@mathewchakkappan8655]

Kitchen & back yard ?????

[@10ksam]

The interiors have a very natural earthly look which is very appealing but the master bedroom without a door is not something I would like to have.

[@deshanikarunarathne7763]

Exterior structure, design എല്ലാം unique, Interior ൽ സിമന്റ്‌ /similar Gray color വീടിന് ഉള്ളിൽ ഒര് darkness feel ആണ് അനുഭവിക്കുന്നത്,.

[@revico9353]

Let me explain my story… I am an architecture student, My parents are on tight budget, but still want wallputty, royals paints, and they did and now they are cheaping out furniture, switch boards,etc…, oof, it doesn’t make any sence Some people say neeru plastered walls don’t allow light, iaffects mental health bla bla bla, then y I feel very peaceful and balanced? I am living in it, and I don’t feel like living in a dark room, there shouldn’t be any other colours except white in that case, And even my dad now come to my room every now and then and fascinates how my room is so affordable and feels sad for lower floor to be spent so much money on marbles( that too not polished completely due to budget), wallputty, cheap non local tiles etc…. If u are tight on budget, DONT feel sad exposed brick or atleast exposed concrete is better than the fake paint textures and fake wallpapers, Y DO U WANT TO FAKE IT? Almost all the middle class family house atleast I’ve ever seen are some wat like this, they cheap out where they shouldn’t and waste money on luxuries which are again not perfectly done as they don’t use good works-man ( I forced my dad like hell for my room to be exposed neeru plaster, and now all relatives give more good comments on mine 😂 ) “ building brick wall, plastering it, applying wall putty, and sticking a brick pattern wallpaper is the worst thing a human can ever imagine in terms of architecture”

[@AbhishekJaiswal-yo1cw]

Looks like my college hostel From outside n inside also.

[@kiransushiljain9831]

Brother we should make a designs as per the current and future times.....but as per too much grey color makes a design down side after 5 years.... we should put some extra white and wooden polish work with some green trees.....

[@souravjain997]

173 sq m is small?? For me it will be like a mansion.

[@souravjain997]

Full concrete finishing for interior looks like a prison cell.

[@jayanthir8975]

True. Looks very unfinished

[@sameer_shaid2469]

Looks very scary 😨

[@KiranKartheep]

Its actualy very good. Earthy and simple rather than using flashy paints and interior decorations. This design will age well.

[@sanb2023]

@@KiranKartheep where do you find gray soil? And scientifically If it's gray then it's not a fertile soil...

[@archanabhosale926]

Good structure and everything except wall colours

[@serenamathan6084]

According to me its not a good work. It would've been way far better...!

[@No_one_is_right9]

For me it is too Dark.....it looks like a kalkothri

[@zakariyan]

Hello dear. ur plans are extremely amazing unique and purposeful.. I m from pakistan.I have a corner plot of area 1200 sq ft with north & west open. At north 43.6 ft and at west 27.6 ft. Can u make a unique plan for me ?

[@jamesbond7102]

It has industrial look , if it’s lighting was better . It would been good. If some granite - black , would have added to aesthetics The house screams ….More light !!!

[@prasadthite795]

The house is so pleasing till it was planing but the walls have been nicer in just white distemper the darkness in every part of house just ruin the feel to live it wholly in a depression... If you need such notorious feel a single art can serve that purpose!

[@e431215]

Just paint it and it will be all new.

[@navneetsingh999]

Interior is not any soothing or relaxing💆 it's very dull and specially for kids

In BULDANA city(Maharashtra),I'm planning to built my dream house 1600sq.ft. (10m by 20m)by Buildofy....hope they agreed🥺

[@pankajgupta8043]

How could this cost 51 lacs of rupees. It would cost less than 15 lacs. Everything is kind of unfinished and unfurnished . Only the bathroom shown is OK minus wall convering.

[@amitkale5631]

Where you read about 51lakhs?

[@devipriyajs3071]

I'm getting anxiety by seeing this house.... The color may kill me

Sorry to say but it looks like a Bhoot Bangla...

And for this type of design they charge lakhs of rupees.An ordinary architect can build better than this.
