Built Out of Building Waste, this Home is a Learning in Sustainable Architecture (Home Tour).

When Architect Vinu Daniel was approached by a travel aficionado to design a silent abode for him and his family, he couldn’t let the opportunity pass. Sitting atop the hilly landscapes of Kerala, this unique home is made to look natural, rugged, and brutal - like a hill itself.
A slanting wall defines the structure, metaphorically referring to the hand that shields one’s eyes from the harsh Western sunlight.
#MyGreatFacade is a series presented by Fenesta Windows in association with #buildofy
Extremely mindful of its context, the core of this structure lies in a patented construction technique that utilises building waste and the rocky terrain of Trivandrum hilltops. This sensitivity governs the temperature control, cross ventilation and the aesthetics of the traveller’s abode.

The shuttered debris walls, perforated aluminium sheets, and the quaint terrace are some highlights of the project. The Principal Architect narrates the design thinking and insightfully breaks down the layout and construction techniques that add charm to this sustainable home.

This is a truly amazing project! It is rare that you come across something completely novel in architecture, and even more rare that it is both highly functional and highly sustainable. I love the unusual shapes, the way natural light filters into the space, the aluminum mesh staircase, and the creative way construction waste was incorporated into the build. Hope this house gets more reviews, because it well deserves it!
We in India need more houses like this made with indigenous techniques which are best suitable for our environment, soil, climate and surroundings, instead of completely mimicking western techniques of building. Great work by Vinu Daniel and his team and the client who were supportive of his experiment.
Marvel. But it's a heartbreak when client is no more. As a true architect you always want the clients enjoying that space and you quietly observing that and feeling at bliss.
SO cool and unique. That material is so cool and raw. RIP to your client
Inspiring work 👍I’m sure he will be nominated for pritzker prize for his work My best wishes 🎉
What a fine work of architecture!
Dream Home Come True for me , wish i could make something like this
I can listen to him talk for hours. such a soothing voice he has
While it’s not what I would commission, I definitely appreciate the beauty and the technical innovation in this house. It is a masterpiece.
This house inspired me to build a eco friendly home. With the family on demise of their loved 1😢.

2:20 bro tf did he say around here?
Not going into the emotional aspect of the emise of a client, the project, to me, looks like an abandoned factory in the middle of the forest. its too dark & gloomy. i wouldnt wanna live there.
Too much of the architect than the architecture...!!

That's called leaving an imprint. Giving what the client desires and more.
Madness Overloaded 👎
As usual this architect has wasted a lot of space to do something different.... 👎👎👎 As usual he wants to give some stupid logics 🤦

It was meant to be spacious. That was the whole goal.. 🤷🏽♀️

Yes, They should have utilised this whole space and build an apartment with terny tiny rooms.. eventually who cares about character and experience..

@Ar Jasim he would if you'd spent the money. Fortunately, the house owners like what he built for them. You can build what you say with your money. In any case, who cares what you think.
