'The House that Meets the River' represents a masterful blend of brutalist style and natural surroundings in Thiruvalla. With its private facade and expansive views of the Manimalayar River, the residence emphasizes tranquility and reflection. A central courtyard rich in tropical vegetation forms the heart of the design, fostering biophilic connections and thoughtful contemplation. The strategic landscape helps obscure the building, reinforcing its ethos of harmony with nature, while allowing residents a slow, meditative lifestyle away from conventional living spaces.
The House that Meets the River elegantly integrates with its surroundings, fostering a meaningful bond between residents and nature through its brutalist yet simple design.
Its contrasting street face is private, yet opens towards the scenic river, promoting contemplation and emphasizing the concept of slowness in everyday life.
A thoughtful, multi-layered design approach features a central courtyard filled with tropical vegetation, enhancing biophilic connections and creating contemplative spaces away from main living areas.
The tranquil ambiance and intentional disconnection of the sit-out from the living areas allow for a profound sense of stillness and reflection in the home.
