The project aims to design a residence and office for a family of three people: an architect, a perfumist and a 15 yr old who is a Kathakali dancer. The site is situated near the shore of Kovallam beach at Thiruvananthapuram. The Residence includes a living room, four bedrooms, a gym and a kitchen. The office includes exhibition space, an architect’s office and perfumer’s lab.
Double roof has been used as the main strategy where the exterior roof acts as a wind catcher which catches the sea breeze and land breeze. It is also developed to protect the spaces from rain and sunlight.
