Aram
"Aram" is a residence meticulously crafted to embody the timeless elegance of traditional Kerala architecture, fused with the regal charm of Chettinad design elements. From a designer’s perspective, the challenge was to seamlessly merge the cultural essence of both regions while ensuring a harmonious, functional living space that speaks to both heritage and modernity.
The design incorporates Kerala's distinctive architectural features, with sloping tiled roofs and finely detailed wooden columns, creating a visual connection to the past while adding a sense of grandeur. The use of traditional Kerala materials such as laterite stone and terracotta tiles grounds the house in its cultural context. Yet, the influence of Chettinad craftsmanship characterized by its rich, ornate wooden detailing and grand proportions is subtly woven throughout, offering an elevated touch that speaks of refinement.
