TRADITIONAL HOUSE RENOVATION
Pathanapuram, Kollam
Located on the banks of Kallada river, this is a portion of a house that had limited spaces which was to be altered and made fully functional. The house was initially built using traditional materials such as laterite stone for walls, lime plastering, wooden batten and clay tiles for roof. The building had to be redeveloped maintaining the existing style and taking maximum use of existing resources available. Initially the house had a fully fledged living, bedrooms, dinig and kitchen facilities, but after the land was divided earlier, only the dining and kitchen area was maintained and the rest was demolished. The most challenging part in the project was to maintain the traditional aesthetics while more facilities were added to the structure.
