Abdul Residence, Pathanamthitta

Client : Mr. Abdul Shaheer

Location : Thiruvalla, Pathanamthitta

Area : 4326 sq. ft.

Project Status : Ongoing

This 4,326 sq. ft. residence is conceived as a landscape-integrated home, where built form and nature engage in quiet dialogue. The focus was in the introduction of courtyards that provide circulation and frame views, introducing natural light and ventilation deep into the interior. A dedicated prayer room, surrounded by a shallow waterbody, is buffered by layered landscaping that adds privacy and softness. Three open terraces extend the living experience outward-as per client request, while wide passageways and visual corridors create a sense of continuity between formal and private zones. The double-height volumes in the living and dining areas were created as such to instill a feeling of openness. Existing site features, including a traditional well and mature trees- were preserved and woven into the design, grounding the home in its original context and enhancing its environmental responsiveness.
