Sri Nivasam
Sri Nivasam is a labor of love, which is a home designed and executed for my family. My parents purchased a fifteen year old building with plans to demolish it and build a new structure. After identifying the structural strength of the building, we decided to demolish only the non-load bearing walls and accommodate their needs in the top two floors. Minimal interior changes have been done to the bottom two floors and are rented out as two individual units. The top two floors have been converted into a single duplex unit with access to a private terrace. The flooring, ceilings and all interior finishes have been redone as per design. The teak wood from the old building has been reclaimed to make doors and furniture for the new house.
Natural variations of the kota stone have been expressed by varying the flooring grid from common to private areas. Patterns on the flooring have been created by inserting white grout as a joinery between green kota stone slabs.
