Vibes, a 3864 sq. ft. home in Thalassery, Kerala, is a carefully crafted haven that offers respite from the outside world. Born from a vegetable garden on the clients' family property, the house seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, featuring exposed laterite stone, cement textures, and tandoor stone paving.
Upon entering, the warm transition from the sit-out to the interiors reveals a double-height living room with courtyards on either side. The design blends rustic elements like exposed concrete ceilings and Kadappa stone flooring with modern touches, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance.
Threshold spaces, such as the zen courtyard and open wash area, connect the house to nature, enhancing tranquility. The material palette, from distressed blue furnishings to verdant green Athangudi tiles, contributes to the home's rustic charm.
The mezzanine kids' bedroom and first-floor bedrooms showcase thoughtful designs, each with its unique color palette and furnishings. The cantilevered staircase, passages with louvered windows, and carefully chosen aesthetics elevate the overall experience.
Vibes is a testament to the collaborative journey between the client and architect, creating a space that feels deeply personal. It's a place of belonging, where the changing light transforms the mood throughout the day, offering a variety of experiences. Vibes is not just a house; it's a cherished interlude and a haven embracing tradition and repose
