Ramakrishnan Residence
Kerala roots. Contemporary form. A real lap pool on a small plot.
South Bangalore · 2016 · 6,000 sq ft built · Plot 2,700 sq ft
Joojur and Rajini wanted a modern home that carried their Kerala roots, not as decoration but as the bones of the house. We took Kerala columns, ceilings and wall cladding and wove them into a clean, contemporary form, without nostalgia. Then we found room for something rare on a 2,700 sq ft plot: a full lap pool you can really swim in, set in a green garden. A mural by artists from Guruvayoor was chosen first, and the living room walls were designed around it. This is not a copy of the home they grew up in. It is the feeling of it, rebuilt for the life they live now.
