This Coimbatore Home is Inspired by Dravidian, Chettinad and Colonial Design Styles (Home Tour).
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Located in a gated community in Coimbatore, this home was built by the architect as her residence. The existing villa on the site was brought down to give shape to this house heavily inspired by her memories.
Be it the traditional South Indian elements of temple architecture, her own Chettinad style ancestral house or the British Colonial design elements reminiscent of her school days, the architect has seamlessly blended all three design styles to bring this home together that compliments her lifestyle.
With elegant and bespoke interiors elements and a strong appreciation for art and artists, this house is a treasure trove of artifacts, furniture pieces, design stories and inspirations.

The architect walks through the house, giving an insight into various design details and inspirations and how she worked out a fine balance between indoor and outdoor spaces.

I don’t think I’ve been in love with any house more than this. It’s perfected poetry in bricks, wood, stone, and traditional mastery. True artists have invested their craft, love and heart into this home.

Not really. Architecture is 99% engineering. The artistry here comes from the woodwork and the glass art pieces and the carvings which are the work of non-architects. The artistry of a house has 99% to do with your budget and only 1% to do with the architect.

@@Kids11111 what you say is partially true. But we should not forget the idea to put everything together were of the architects. Sourcing the artisians,the teak pillars ,the Burma doors etc etc. If it was not for them it would have been a much more tedious job co- ordinating everything not only plan wise. But execution too. Everyone did give their contributions. Yes. But one of the Main Reason the artisians got opportunity to work on the home because it was the part of architects vision. Certain placements if not done as it was done would not have given this effect.
The best thing about the video is, portions of work done by others are explained by them. This is why we can witness a spark in those eyes who explains their own work.
What an architecture, in such a compact space. This house is a poem.

More of a mixture of Dravidian and western.
That window in her office is such a cool idea.
Daughter for the win. No only her mother encouraged her likes but built it in her mom. Great mom, great room and a beautiful home. 😍
When Architect build her own house...... Class!
Blend of old and new new very flawlessly done. Very nice architecture. Nothing overdone. Very classy features not just the new stuff in the market used for interiors. I think this is because the owner who in this case is the architect herself was involved in making sure that every detail is given proper attention. Like the colour combination. Also love the partition between the hall and the dining room. Also the house does connect the nature / outdoor with the indoors without overdoing it and making sure that while occupants enjoy the elements they don’t affect the structure in a negative way.
This house is like a poem. Everything is so minutely detailed.
To be very honest this house has justification for every corner that is been built, True masterpiece. Love it !!
I am from Kerala too but having travelled all over India as my father was in the armed forces. My passion is studying various types of design concepts used in a home. Though each state has its own charm based on the terrain, tropics and climate, somehow found Kerala homes and Chettinadu architecture very soothing, deep culture oriented and a blend of true Indian designs. Really loved your beautiful home. I also dabble in bit of designs for friends. I have also designed a mix of Kerala and Chettinadu for my home. The glass barricade in the dining area is beautiful. I had designed something similar for a friend with her mothers embroidered sari sandwitched between the glass. ❤️
wow…. ms Sowmya Kumar… loved this house and the fact that the house we build should be a positive reflection of us…I should just say you are blessed. Ur house is rich in traditions and your heart. Rich in Time.
Hello Mam.I literally fell in love with the fusion of contemporary and modern look of your house.I am a resident of Kakinada.I felt extremely happy when you quoted that some antique wooden pillar was restored in this new house ,shifted from an ancestral home in Kakinada.That shows how much respect you have towards your ancestral home.Your aesthetic sense is clearly evident in every aspect be it furniture or paintings.All the vintage collection is very beautiful - The Long pendulum wooden wall clock,the frame , painting of Lord Sri Krishna.I tremendously fell in love with the Window seat in the master bedroom.God bless your family with lots of joy.Kudos to the architects for an exemplary architectural design.
It's one of the marvels in Earth..!! And it's ones in a million possibilities that Skill & Money coexist with you.!! Excellent piece of Art.!!
What a beautiful home. I cannot remember if any home video has left a mark on my memory, this one surely will. Smart and scientific use of steps, columns, directions, nature and natural elements. The beauty of artisans bringing in handmade, ethnic, traditional art vis a vis modern line and foliage art. Beauty of how the dark wood merges effortlessly with light wood and also the small window which is a little honey coloured wood. Then the cane which is lighter and maintaining a balance in style and theme. Loved the Kolam House
I must say this is one of the nicest houses I have seen in Indian architecture. It is not overcrowded and cluttered the and the elements are very minimalistic. The artwork is thoughtful and each piece compliments the style of the architecture. I agree with the designer that natural light is important, which is a departure from many homes historically in South India that have always been dark and gloomy with small windows or limited windows. Good job.
Never seen sucha beautiful house. I’m being honest. What a great combination of culture heritage and memory 😮
This is one of best interior design i have seen ever .. complete thought and emotions are reflecting there .....
Now this house has become my dream house. Absolutely love this. I like every corner of the house. She is a great architect.
She has put her heart in to this piece of art! Awesome!
Only a person who appreciates the nitty gritties of life, could build such a magnificence. Congratulations to all the artisans involved. It gives a lot of inspiration to use such artisans.
This is pure poetry, a symphony produced by different art forms. This lady architect has poured her soul into her home and we are truly blessed to have witness through this briefest of peeks. Impressive.
Hands down the best house I have seen on Buildofy so far.
Kudos for the architect and editing team to let the other artists and designers get the credit!♥️♥️
Pretty! All Indian Traditional architectures has that warmth which noone can replace.❤

One can see the heart and soul poured into making this house a reality
I gasped when I saw the first shot of the living room. The interiors really respect and complement of the scale of the space - it's easy to fill it with too much or too little. I love the contrast between the full height swivel panels (genius!) and the low furniture. It just works. Breathtaking.
Очень гармоничный и атмосферный дом. Мне нравится что вы связали традиции и современность. 🌺
Perfect, thoughtful, elegant. A dream home couldn't be better.
One of the rarest occasions when priviledge and taste are found togethor. "Beatifullest" house I should say :)
More than the design, understanding of space itself, the choice of material, etc. which is great in itself, this home exudes clarity that the architect had in her mind! This is beauty personified!
Been following the channel for a few years and have seen all kinds of large luxury houses to small space utilizing houses. But I've never felt this connected to any other house. This is just a masterpiece. In absolute love ❤️ Kudos to the whole team
No words to say, this is not just a home but a temple sculptured by brilliant artists ❤
OMG!! Never seen any design like this. Everything screams sophistication and class
Omg just woOww❤. I just love South Indian style homes , mam u have dpne great job 💯 what a architecture ❤ what an idea,. I just love wooden + mirror work, specially i liked that staircase 👌 coatyard 🎉, each and everything is so perfectly done.💯 I really appreciate ur creativity, this house is full of natural sun light this is the charm of this house 🎉
So good to see these talented and artistic women architects bringing back the best of India's heritage which had been buried under the ugliness borrowed from God knows where
the sense of calmness the entire house evokes is unparalleled! beautifully calming home which anyone would love to come back to. Kudos to the architect!
2:59 wow look at that view omg. The whole house is so much inspiring for upcoming architects such a master piece.. no words just wow.
So classic and gud elegant style , home , a sweet home , more than an art and less than a temple, amalgamation of worship and bliss ful stay. Really overwhelming experience.
Marvellous!!! Just have witnessed a symphony of Culture, Tradition, Memories, Architecture, Luxury, Art all together. She has put her all intellect & soul in to this Home. And we can feel it in every corner of it. And the presentation is doing all the justice to this Dream Home.
That's why we call it Architecture is more than just built space! Really love the way how Architect had conceptualized the Dravidian arch elements to seamlessly personify emotions!! Absolutely love the earthiness of this ARTitectuture!! ❣️😇
Superb madam....its very cherishing experience to watch this video...I can imagine how amazing it will be to stay in such a wonderful and peaceful heaven

I am flattered by the architecture!! Wow!! Amazing !! I don't think I would love any other house than this ever... I specifically liked the hand-painted glass columns which separate the dining area and living room. Fantastic work!
This is truly a home made from dreams❤

What a marvelous blend of traditional and modern. It's like if you can walk into memories. Very thoughtfully designed and incorporating such diverse elements and blending them so smoothly. Every segment is like you walk into such a different zone. And yet they combine so well.
Its not a House , Its a TEMPLE!! Unbelievable Great thinking and Great work
have seen many buildofy homes.. but this just takes away my breath....thorough out the video i couldn't stop feeling an intense emotional touch in every bit of the home... if ever i build a individual home...
No one can architect better than south indians! Rest of the Architects here end up mimicking western ideas with no respects paid to indian traditional arch. Just amazing video!!

Unparallel madam, it's a dream house with rich aesthetic value .

As she is simple and elegant the same I found the house . The fusion of ancient and modern version helps the younger generation to know the values of our culture the pillars and temple aspects in the roof of the house wow I wanted to shout . Beautiful house . God bless you
Marvelous Architecture by giving traditional architecture a Modern touch without hampering the values & aesthetics... Superb blown away
Speechless, may god will bless me with the wealth to build a house like this.
I don't think it as a home. It is her life her passion her poetic expression not in words in prick s and stones and sand . She mixed every emotions of a home perfectly.its a masterpiece 🎉❤❤

Maam, amazing, This videos takes me my old memories at my 150years old chettinad home. One day I will construct these types of house, that day will contact you Maam. Thanks for sharing this video.
I am from Kerala, yet i want each keralite to watch this video. Coz these days malayalis are building houses that are of same pattern, color and of same interior. Really got fed up with the outdated fashion. But this interior caught my heart ❤❤❤

My entire family is an ardent fan of the homes in Kerala. They are so serene, beautiful and carry so much positivity. No amount of luxury in any apartment can stand a chance in front of those homes. One day I'd surely build a house inspired by Kerala up in the North.

Artist ic ! Amazing ideas ..I Loved it!!! Beautifully designed❤
This design is an example where, when you give a talented artist to draw their dream home, instead of singing or describing, the architect brought it to a live physical form
Any much of praise is not sufficient. OMG what a easthatic building you made with such a elegance. You sitting in that window is will be a great portrait. So happy to see such a beautiful house and it's architect. Good luck and best wishes.
How beautiful! I love the colour scheme! It also feels amazingly calm, despite the variety of ornaments and pictures. They definitely contribute to the warmth of the house. Very well done!
Speechless at the beauty of this place. Proud too, that she has preserved so much of traditional architecture.
"It's all about memories it's all about me"❤
I am overwhelmed with emotions seeing this house. Finding hard to describe🌹
I have no words for the house. Was spellbound the entire time, especially with the paintings and woodwork and temple architecture elements. Love how the daughter's bedroom reflected her interests like the rest of the house reflected her mother's. Also, wonderful video, so well shot & edited with the beautiful music. I love this channel.
Simply wow! One of the kind and a unique creation. Simplicity, opulence, restrained detailing, mix of eras, amazing!!
This house is perfect representation of an Indian house and I love it ❣️
Such a beautiful house, modern ar the same time rooted to South Indian asthetics, so beautifully crafted, sheer excellence.
Mesmerised after watching ❤,. Full of positivity,..
Im happy that women is archirect for such beautiful work,
Very beautiful integrated into tradition, culture and aesthetics. God bless you ma. May you and family be blessed with all happiness, health, prosperity, peace and wisdom. Our South Indian pride.
Amazing Architecture...This house has life in it. Marvelous mix of Tradition + Nature 🙏
Always liked the traditiinal design elements, but in modern times sometimes traditional houses are not efficient and functional according to modern living. But this fusion design feels refereshing, it doesn't feel forced with modernism and traditionalism design. It is just PRETTY, temple column drawing on glass is most beatiful idea i've seen.
A house where we immediately join our hands as of at temple! Serene yet Grandiose🙏🏻
Amazing. Just beyond words. I am moved by this structure of Chettinad!! The background music just gives me so much soothing to my mind. Well done video.
Very beautifully executed. Love how each corner is given its own charm and yet the house comes together as a whole. Wonderful work. Congratulations and kudos to the may artists involved in the project as well.
