- Nestled on the outskirts of Kochi, Alarine unfolds the story of Ar Zarine Jamshedji and her husband, Alan, in their unique haven. This tranquil abode, not too distant from the city bustle, immerses itself in peace, surrounded by lush green paddy fields and cradled by rubber and nutmeg plantations.
Crafted in a swift six months, the house stands as a testament to innovation, utilizing Stereogram’s cutting-edge Schnell 3D Panel construction system. Its allure lies in a blend of structural prowess, top-tier insulation, rapid construction, and a seamless fusion of prefab and in-situ elements.
Approaching Alarine is akin to discovering a hidden gem. The transparent structure defies conventional expectations, revealing only vetiver-covered rooftops and the expansive paddy fields. Perched on a flat terrain of a plot with dramatic contours, the house invites exploration via meandering stairs etched into the steep landscape. A formal doorway is absent, inviting guests directly into a space where indoors and outdoors entwine beautifully.

Schnell panels, laterite mud plaster, and a verdant vetiver canopy atop the roof emerge as standout features. Through her ingenious design, the architect prompts a reevaluation of our housing norms, encouraging a future where sustainability transcends choice and becomes a way of life.

Respect for the lady when she said "we didn't want to block the view of the neighbour behind who also bought the property to enjoy the view in the front".
Design of the building is in harmony with the natural surroundings verry good idea which could be replicated elsewhere .Thanks for both of them .N.Parameswaran .Potty .❤.
Note :She is an architect
Now that's pure humanity. Others together with self and all as one. Love her for it Nairobi Kenya
@@animesh_maity Being an architect does not make someone selfless in their decisions. Here UK, a possible example in London, is the Architects own home, the front in road parking space for local residents, neighbours and possibly public, they occupied with oversized planted pots. Seems they didn't need the space but they also didn't want any cars including from the local school infront of their home, windows.
The architect in this video took into consideration their neighbours view. 💚
@@leafy803 that depends on locality and on that person's mindset too
The mosquitoes, lizards and snakes make it hard to live in such a place. It all looks veey romantic in a video. But life will be hard.
Kerala is one of best places to stay. If you argue then how Singapore, Malaysia citizens lives in a tropical climate.
@@arjunraj823 I am not arguing. I have been to kerala many times. It is very beautiful. My point is the house is not a practical design. Keeping it open in the night let's in insects and all.
exactly my thought. mosquitos, insects, snakes, rats etc are a part of nature here.
@@arjunraj823 i don't understand why you'd bring up such a point. it's such an irrelevant response to the point the guy is making
very valid point - someone should also show what day to day living in such houses are
hey zarine please dont stop doing what you are doing. It was one of the greatest example how can architecture make you feel certain way. I felt the peace of that house through video. Amazing!!
Eventhough she insists it's not the aesthetics/uniqueness she is rooting for, i kinda feel too much emphasis was put into it that hinders the practicality of living there day in and day out against the forces of nature. But I'm sure they have contingencies put in place considering how experienced they are. It should've been covered in the video for us commoners to put things into perspective.
Glad to see some one put my same feelings already in words.
She's pure hearted and talented!!!
I never thought I’d ever say these words but Zarine, Nicely done. I came across a collection of photos of this house elsewhere and what really caught my eye at the time being a Hi-Fi Audiophile Enthusiast were the Rethm Speakers from Ar.Jacob George. Never had I realised you’d done your home there. I’m really feeling happy and fulfilled knowing that there still exists Architects who actually live up to the real purpose of their mastery.
As an architect living in Kerala, I would love to see more houses like this, but it's practically impossible for a normal family to live and maintain it. If this is a holiday home, which means it would be closed up for a major part of the year, then I guess it would work. But for a normal family with normal everyday problems, this would raise a lot of concerns. Apart from practicality, this is an amazing architectural experimentation, something we don't often strive for.
what would you say are the major concerns for someone building this type of home for everyday use in kerala? Would the construction materials not last? Would the plantation on the roof create issue? Im just curious. TIA
One of the best videos so far! Thanks a lot buildofy for putting all together for us here!
Loved the earthy red plaster on top, the solar panels built in, and the grass on top. Truly blends in.
The house exudes a striking simplicity and elegance. However, I have a few reservations regarding potential issues with mosquitos and rain, as the house is situated below ground level in a damp area. The proximity of the swimming pool to the bedroom is undoubtedly aesthetically pleasing, but it may seem awkward to have it placed so close without any separation in between but just an edge.
Hiya Zarine....
Somehow the video, the house,and your concept, connected with me.
Been thinking on the subject for quite a while, but wasn't able to find a way forward. Your video gives me something more to think about.
Thanks much.
“Blended in” so well!
House looks good. But during night, insects and reptiles will come in as uninvited guests...And rain water in rainy season due to low lying areas
I'm sure she has planned all that too..
Also mosquitos
love this ! fantastic work, AR Zarine! very beautiful.
I can tell a lot of thought went into this home and even considering others before it was built. Inspirational. ❤
Buildofy is just inspirational. Dhwaj and team, you guys sometime make me realise my purpose when I am engaged in my day to day activites. Thanks a lot, keep compiling the best works.
The best thing which overwhelmed me with tears that you didn't obstruct the view of your neighbours.
Wow.. Living life without barriers..in the midst of nature..Wonderful concept.. God bless...
I am surprised you built that close to high tension power lines....... a lovely home thank you.
hey again, thank you for sharing such warm, wonderful and sensible homes that have a purpose behind its creation. i am grateful to the architects of this house, the lady and her husband for the sensitivity they carry in their living. i would love to visit this house someday as an architect myself to experience this warm abode. wish we can have more of case study trips to such wonderful homes.
4:12 Great architecture. I love it.
And those speakers are more expensive than my car. I was fortunate enough to see them in person and listen to the music. They are amazing.
Calming place to live! Amazing work!
Nice concept, theme and thought process..
Incredible and the way she describes shows the passion behind it.. kudos❤
Respect grew 1000 folds as she expressed her selfless attitude towards neighbour, allowing others' to copy, welcoming attitude, and so on.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is absolutely brilliant. Congrats to both of you and also to all the life who have made this beautiful and thoughtful piece of art their home.
Incredible unique concept just…..lost words
Wow. An absolutely gorgeous, minimalist and inviting space
It's actually beyond all good adjectives!!

4:18 - "Everyone is welcome''
Snakes and Insects-"Hello"
It's depends on persons perspective brother..
There are snake repellent too.. if you want to avoid
Amazing work ma'am.. thank you
Wow!!! What an incredible piece of architecture!👌👏👏👏👏👏
Great idea, beautiful house ❤
Theft? Robbery? Security?
Mosquitos? Lizards? Cleaning the house and outside?
Rainy season? PRIVACY??????
OMG my brain is filled with a lot of questions
This is for rich people who'll only be here for like 2 weeks max to fuck and party with their other rich friends without the guilt of all their CO2 emissions. Real PPL don't flaunt.
😍😍 LOved this ,great work👏👏
Amazing & Very Detailed Creation👌👌
The outside view is so mindblowing the greenary..
The house too is good 👍the grass on the top 👌
We enjoy witnessing projects that bring together sustainability, architecture, and design to craft the perfect home. 💛
Beautiful house
Well explained
Love it
amazing but what about safety ? I always think about how these kinds of houses protect themselves from burglars?
Just one word : Beautiful!
Beautiful thought for building the house with the community around them in mind 👏
wonderful concept Zarina, wow...what a dream house you have built...would love to have a word with you for my dream house in near future. Really enjoyed this episode, good on you dear..
You forgot one thing call RAIN WATER. That pond is not enough
WoW!!!! The thought behind this house is amazing ❤❤ the architecture should not aim to be different rather it should be an experience for everyone.. people living in it, neighbour's and mother earth..
pure n positive.. full vibes.. jannat
Im so happy seeing those dogs HAPPY
Excellent, peace and happiness at home
Amazing work. 👏
Brilliant. I love the idea
Maam, your concept which you have build. Even I had something similar concept in my mind for My Home.
Very Nicely Made. Beautifully Executed
One thing i liked most that neighbors come and enjoy there ❤❤
Loved it 👏👏
Their Dogs are so cute…
Great innovation for sustainable living.
Hats off!
Congads!
I have few concerns
1) what about snakes? Like with that open wide doors, isnt it so easy for snake to come in?
2) what about protection from theives? Wont they break that big of a glass so easy and enter??
Such a noble heart she possess ❤
Great design 😍
great innovated people with experimental qualities
MashaAllah, Allahumma Barik, What a beautiful house. You did fantastic joy on your home. I felt just the serenity your house has. Really Spectacular.
Mam, you are inspiration for my house which I dream to built. I was looking for something like this and looking at your home, I could see mine too 😊 Thank you and thanks for the upload. Amazingly edited too.
❤ love that green crop included in the design.
Homes that connect with nature make life worth living. Slows down the time. This is a unique yet beautiful home.
Very nicely thought and build
Smart design and it must be very reasonable in cost! Congratulations Zarine!
Beautiful, nice concept....
This piece of architecture breaks a lot of stereotypes of house .It's artistic yet not pretentious. Instead of making some art piece, the couple actually made a house!
your ideas and nature house would be inspiring for many
Very very happy to see your house what I was thinking about. But I am stuck by usual urban practices, vastu and other beliefs. I am struggling with those construction workers everyday for having little greenary into and around my home. Your video will surely help me to justify my vision. It encourages me to take bold decisions to make my concrete walls into green walls. Thank u for sharing your home.
Vastu includes calculations & numbers along with alignment of planetary bodies on earth, rain, light, wind, place of worship in home, gate, location of home in a plot of land, location of open well, water bodies etc. This was broadly checked before constructing a building/house. Every architect will study the above things before constructing, which mean they all follow vastu. But there are some vastu expert fools, who tell you that it should be made in this or that matter or so and provide you a plan of their own which is simply bs*.
Loved the vietiver part
The idea and the thought to dream something like this is crazy
Best concept, nature friendly
It is an absolutely wonderful piece of art.
Lovely living space ,beautiful in every way .
