MANIMALA RESIDENCE
Project Location- Manimala, Kottayam, Kerala
Area of Building - 2100 sq.ft
Plot Size - 10cent
Set on a compact 10 cent site, this residence embraces a bold, monolithic architectural language that stands apart from its surroundings. Clean geometric volumes, exposed brick, and textured concrete come together to create a strong, sculptural façade, while carefully carved openings soften the mass and introduce depth, light, and shadow throughout the day.
Designed for the tropical climate, the home balances a striking visual identity with passive environmental strategies. Thoughtfully positioned openings, shaded outdoor spaces, and natural ventilation ensure thermal comfort, allowing the architecture to remain both expressive and responsive. The result is a contemporary tropical home that is minimal in form, powerful in presence, and timeless in character..
