This 2,400 sq.ft. Traditional Home Is Centered Around A Beautiful Courtyard (Home Tour).

It’s not often that a home blends the modern, the traditional, as well as the natural so seamlessly and so well. Named ‘Thotti Mane’ - A Kannada term that translates to Courtyard House, this tranquil abode maximises the limited plot size through its signature central courtyard. This becomes an epicentre for everyday activities, visual connections as well as hosting guests.
Situated in a rather peaceful Bengaluru neighbourhood, Thotti Mane creates an eye-catching first impression through its layered traditional façade. Like a place of worship, the journey through threshold spaces leads to the courtyard, around which the private and public spaces are centered.
Architects takes us through the home, breaking down the design process. They also mention how sustainability is at the forefront of this vernacular structure, utilising materials and elements that minimise carbon footprint.

The central courtyard (of course), the façade, the entry space, and the reclaimed woodwork are some of the key highlights in this home. Despite representing traditional architecture with vernacular elements, this home feels magical and timeless, thanks to the seamless fusion of everything it is composed of. Buildofy invites you to step inside this inspirational abode.

I love this, especially how traditional the vibe is of this home. The architects having food with the family at the end was even more special, it's the small things that matter. I pray and wish our traditions are preserved like this for centuries to come.

I have seen this house in south indian movies and I really really love the courtyard theme houses. It gives a very traditional joint family vibes. And hats off to the architect who have beautifully moulded both traditional and modern aesthetics in this house❤

[@varuntarak1110]

I am 25 years old.. recently got job of 6lpa My relatives and parents are forcing me to take home loan so that I can get married. Obviously own house is a emotion and dream for me. Initially I also convinced to buy a flat in hyderabad which is listed by greedy owners charing 60 to 70lakhs for 1100 sq sft. I didn't see any life in that house. After watching your videos now I got clarity. I will buy a land and contact you to construct my dream. Let it take years of time I don't care one day I will get my dream house. Thanks buildofy❤

[@sujanp5618]

I think architect is good in framing the house. I think it is bit costly to build such homes for normal salaried employees. But also done a great job. I also liked it so much.

[@sharadjadhav4906]

dont wary be happy

[@selfcareToConfidence]

Everything is fine, but u said about greedy owners! It is expensive when u live in a community where all facilities r available including ur safety, docs in house, metro all these come with a cost. Many more facilities like gym, pool and so on. This type of home can be a weekend home

[@samarthagrahari4777]

​@@selfcareToConfidencewhat do you think this house price could be? With land price included

[@Bharatiya94]

Good decision, it's lifetime investment, so take your own time to build your dream house.All the best.❤❤

[@bhaktavatsala4840]

The Architects have given life to ethnicity. Traditional values have been well infused into the design. A playful mix of pleasing colours are appealing. The whole building stands out. Well done.

Yes please. Even i am keen to know the construction cost, sans the land cost

[@lnotani1857]

Can you please share the construction cost. I have a plot and would like to replicate, if the cost suites my budget.

[@enthucutlet]

Everything about this home screams "dream house" to me. Nostalgia, the warmth, the feeling of the one place I can call my sanctuary. One day, I hope to be able to build this in my home town.

[@AmitabenSuva]

the dog sitting outside the home is best thing...❤❤ hope everyone let take shelter at least one dog outside their home

[@sudharamakrishnan5766]

Beautiful house... the courtyard is really a place where everyone could gather... the pooja room, the kitchen everything has come out beautifully ❤

Not my favourite type of design but the warmth and homeliness of this house is divine. You can feel the peace and happiness in the owners eyes 😊

[@dr.catherinedward8224]

This is the kind of house I want to build but I was doubtful whether it can be built in 60x40.Old traditional structure .Well planned.

[@desiremixx7622]

One of the best in the buildofy series. Divine and stylish colourful yet convenient this home encapsulates traditional beauty with modern comfort. The pooja room and the courtyard and the bedrooms, the bright natural light and the yellow flooring and natural wood furniture... this is a sure shot winner❤❤❤

[@shindeamol25]

Few points I recommend- 1. In the courtyard there is drop of one step which is not needed and restricts free movement 2. The two terraces at the first floor should be combined to make a single large space. 3. One extra bedroom on first floor should be added for kids or guests

[@ashwinisk9344]

A very beautiful and practical design. I can imagine the family living here very comfortably and peacefully, which is the ultimate goal.

[@ssattanathan79]

Excellent Work! Traditional with Modern Home! Hats off to the Architect.

Generally, We, Indians don't think of a separate room for kids unless they become adults or get married. And it 's proven by studies that, babies, toddlers and kids grow better if they live with their parents in a single room.
