Project 15/20_24
V2 house, Katteri.

V and V are mother-daughter duo who with us, imagined a workation home, at Katteri, close to Connor, Tamil Nadu. Their property is right at the hairpin bend with a view to the Katteri falls. The top road level is 60 ft higher than the house patio level, somewhere at the mid altitude of their plot. Negotiating tall revetments, and establishing a commercial/parking level, Mother’s house level and daughter’s house level, leading into the tea plantation below, was the design challenge. Its a project where we learnt to be humble with the force of nature. The scheme looked at options, that allowed for phase wise ex*****on, concurrent with levels. It also looked at imitating the steep hill and opening upto the smell, sound and feel of the cold air, water, and vegetation all around.
