Built in 6 Months, This Home in Kerala Redefines Sustainability (Home Tour).

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

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.
To download the full PDF eBook of Alarine Earth Home in Kochi with floor plans, materials used, construction techniques and so much more, please visit:
www.buildofy.com/projects/ala...
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.

    ​@@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. 💚

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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*.
