'Saradha nivas' - A posh residence that I had designed in the year 2004 for Mr.Jawahar at Pandikoil, Madurai. The client was very particular on following vastu principles for planning and wanted a modern yet classical design...and also a sloped roof! The client also had lavish tastes for high-end finishes, teak wood work, Italian marble and furniture, imported fittings, Spanish tiles and many other exquisite materials. The builder was our mutual friend Mr.Balan and it was a memorable construction journey along with Mr.Jawahar and Mr.Balan as we traveled and spent a lot of time together in sourcing materials. It was an interesting experience in my early career.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful and very elegant, inside and out. I'm so glad you are sharing photos of your architectural designs.
ReplyDeleteVery classy. I do like sloping roofs. Apart from looking great, I think they are much more practical in our climate and minimise leakage problems down the line.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, your photographs show it well.

ReplyDeleteThis is a grand house. You did a nice job with the architecture. I like the Italian marble and Spanish tiles. And the garden area outside is charming as well.

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful....like you said very hi end stuff. I love the architecture..courtyard garden..
Whats with the grey exterior..one side wall. Was that done for a purpose?
only one thing that probably is not an architecural issue..I dont like the furniture..esp round bed...would lead to a waste of space according to me..I am used to small rooms..but may be in this big house..probably it fills up some space.
