Residence in Trivandrum divides a Traditional Courtyard into Tropical Greens and a Modern Pool

A conventional courtyard house is conceived around an open space. Questioning this cliché, the idea was to articulate a new experience in the courtyard by having a large garden and a large water body in it. The juxtaposition of the water body and the garden along with the central spine of the house helps organize the rest of the program.
The central void segments the public and the private zones of the house at the ground level. The central spine, which connects the garden and the pool on one axis and the public and private on the other axis, is envisioned to transform into a quasi-art gallery over time. The central spine at the upper level accommodates a library and connects the bedrooms on either side of the courtyard.
Architect Vikram Rajashekar of Cadence Architect walks us through Kowdiar Villa, as it weaves around its three distinct gardens.

Beautiful home to have in the most desirable locality. This place has the highest property value in trivandrum , a very posh localty and very densely populated. I wonder how they managed this huge chunk of land there. Must have spent humongous amount

I'm curious on how does the drainage works for the courtyard?..bcs it's in the middle of the layout, what happens when it rains?..anyone with this knowledge, kindly enlighten me pls 😇

[@rashikkenn8798]

@1:59 in the layout, you may see that the courtyard is alongside with the setback of the building. Plumbing waste water lines usually run beneath the ground along the setbacks.

House design is very good but too much unnecessary space doesn't pass the vibe

It’s good in its own way but to me it lacks a warmth. Personal tastes

[@AjayVerma-hk1db]

This house is for 4 people only??? Income inequality is really high in India.

[@ferozrabiya123]

Being so well educated and qualified, I am suprised that you are calling and addressing the domestic helpers life savers as servants. Think again. ..

[@vikasyadav-jc4de]

Calm down your jets he is not disrespecting anybody here don’t create issue out of nothing

[@sanb2023]

Privacy from neighbours is not really a good concept for society as a whole ! We have a saying that their should be a neighbour who criticize you always....! ( To criticize you there should be someone who is watching you.) Too much privacy leads to crime.I have lived in US for years.Padosi marr jatae hain hafto,mhino saalo tak kisi ko nahi pata chalta...! It's sad. Privacy from neighbours is main concept of so many houses these days...Changing society 😒😒😒😒

[@HimanshuGhadigaonkar]

Yes.. true..

[@joyid]

I need privacy from neighbours. 😅

[@sanb2023]
