AMRUTHA KISHOR
THE NEW ECO CHIC

Post retirement, a family wanted their home to be a simple but beautiful haven, unlike other heavily ornamental mansions in Thalassery, Kerala. Built without frills, the home was designed prioritising function over form, accommodating all its owners' needs with no cosmetic elements. As the name suggests, Lagom Home is made with minimalism at its core to suit the lifestyle preferences of the family of six.

The Aesthetic

The design language highlights the beauty in simplicity by focussing on geometry and proportions. Its charm is anchored to the client's minimalist tastes through the use of lines, colour and texture rather than overt ornamental elements.

Planning and Zoning

As per the client's preferences, all the spaces of the home were contained within a single floor. This led to a well-distributed plan that allowed all the spaces in the home to have a direct connection to the outdoors, maximising daylight and natural ventilation. The three bedrooms with attached baths are located on the upper floor level of the home, with all the wardrobes going up to ceiling height. The master bedroom features a built-in concrete bed with storage beneath.
