A Chettinad Inspired House with A Colonial Twist (Home Tour).
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Located in the quaint village of Meivazhi Salai, Sittannavasal near Pudukkottai, this house was conceived as a Paati-Veedu or Grandmother’s House. The typical layout of a Karaikudi house was infused with elements inspired by colonial design style in this single storied house.
A grand walkway leads to a huge portico surrounded by a verandah. Elements like stone columns, old windows, stained glasses, and intricate cement artwork is seen on the façade and one is greeted to the interiors of the house by a 100-year-old Chennai style door.
There is a huge courtyard inside surrounded by a verandah on all sides. The open to sky courtyard boasts a Spanish inspired water fountain which is the focal point of the house. Besides, a swing, old Chettinad and Anglo-Indian inspired furniture pieces and Athungudi inspired tiles complete the interior spaces of the house.

The use of vintage elements, fusion of two styles, detailed cement artworks, and reuse of old doors and windows are some key highlights of the project. The designers walk around the house giving an insight into how they cohesively used two distinct styles while meeting all the requirements of the clients.

one of the best design in the Buildofy channel and elsewhere actually, till date! so much to learn about aesthetics, technicalities and design elements. very very beautiful.
Big investors should start constructing this kind of home and sell it , A family can live with peace of mind nature well aerated spacious, than living in apartments
❤அருமையான வீடு ❤
Its pleassure to watch the lovely couple at this age and doing their work, which is typical south family culture, really missing those visuals in real life as its living in small family with fast paced technology world. Truely truly loved this home to keep both the architecture
Just looking at this home gives a peaceful sensation.. 😇
Beautiful
Beautifully done❤
Masterpiece of buildofy❤
Just wow! No words, 🤫
What about the COST ?
What a beautiful and unique house...love the splash of colours in interiors against the white...also.of course it's their house but it has potential to be turned into a unique cultural Airbnb in the future
Thank you, beautifuly designed,All traditional artefacts in functional use.A satisfying visual feast.
Amazing work😊
Interesting but confusing concept with mixture of various architectural overlays. But coming from the client this idea has been well executed. Client seem to be very satisfied and can see in their facial expressions throughout. Overall beautifully planned and executed.
Nice feeling fine old thing's.
அருமையான விடுதி...

Beautiful ❤❤
What an edit! loved it, excellent stuff
Fantastic!
Only inner tiles should have been plain with maybe border of design. Otherwise it is peaceful.
Why you not showing.... detail of house......
please show once full home visit in video so concept will be clear of house.
Sir project cost how much???
Atleast you have preserved culture & tradition of sanatana dharma in christian DMK tamilnadu
🤡
Sanatana dharmam is chased out from tamilnadu
No brahminical ideology here
What a dumb way to look at life. Christians are not the problem, just the radical mindset which exists in people irrespective of their religion.
For example, you seem to be a radicalised youth who believes christians are your enemy even after being a follower of the most peaceful & inclusive religion.
I feel for you bro, get well soon.
Not required here
U political fool
Sangi spotted
What is the cost
The indòr tiles are Spanish style, practical. No upstairs...? Needs some chairs in verandah.
Loved the house architecture. Request Please give the brief in English or Hindi please rather than home language.

It's a confused mish mash of different styles. Not good.
Where can i get that horse
The architect should talk in Tamil since this targeted audience predominantly is Tamil people. They can also release English and Hindi versions. Right now one is talking in Tamil and the other one in English.
...meanwhile, your comment is in .... 😏
👍

The house is nice minus the cheesy furniture, the tulip sofa is an abhorrence. There is no maturity in the decor pieces. They look like something a child would want. The guest bedroom bed is really awful. I wish that they had hired a more talented and professional decorator.
