The project takes shape from the homeowners’ desire for a simple, grounded life rooted in tradition, despite their fast-paced careers as software engineers. They envisioned a home that felt familiar and calm rather than formal or ostentatious—one that could support slow living while accommodating long work-from-home hours. This balance between contemporary requirements and inherited values became the foundation of the design, with memories of the clients’ ancestral home strongly influencing both spatial planning and material choices. The idea of a central courtyard emerged early on as the emotional core of the house.

A key design challenge lay in integrating antique wooden pillars salvaged from the clients’ ancestral home. Over 130 years old, these columns had to be carefully adapted to suit the height and structure of a new Mangalore-tile roof without compromising their character. To extend their presence beyond the courtyard, portions of the original pillars were thoughtfully reused within the house, accentuating the entryway and carrying forward a narrative of memory and continuity. The material palette was intentionally restrained, relying on natural finishes that age gracefully.
