"With its elongated facade of perforated brickwork, Zero Studio's Haven House sits on an elevated site within a quiet neighborhood in Valiyannur, India. From the road, the dwelling reads as a low, horizontal volume that settles into the terrain and harness the trees, overgrown plantings, and sky as a lush frame. The architects shape the project through proportion and texture over sculptural gesture."
"Entry to the Haven House begins from the south, and is expressed by the architects at Zero Studio with a restrained palette of laterite stone and grey cement plaster. Overhead, a sloping tiled roof ties the structure to local construction practices and keeps the silhouette modest against the skyline. To mark the threshold, a floating slab sit-out, dotted with tropical plants, serves as a small outdoor room."
Haven House sits elevated in Valiyannur, India as a low, horizontal volume with an elongated perforated brick facade that frames trees, plantings and sky. A continuous laterite wall defines the eastern edge, acting as compound boundary and building skin while registering sunlight in small shifts of shadow. Entry from the south uses laterite stone, grey cement plaster and a sloping tiled roof. A floating slab sit-out with tropical plants marks the threshold and opens to breeze and street sounds. A long interior axis organizes living and dining toward a large kitchen, with bedrooms buffered on the western side and a double-height main room linking levels.
