Residence Sakthikulangara

Residence Sakthikulangara is a 1,750 sq.ft contemporary home in Sakthikulangara, Kollam — two crisp volumes in cement-plaster and vertical timber slats, stacked and cantilevered over a shaded ground level. A slim floating roof edge in warm oak-toned soffit runs across the top, tying the geometry together.

The ground floor plan opens through a sit-out (510×170) into a family living (350×360), a dining room (396×362), a working-kitchen with a 270×222 work-area, and a private master bedroom (362×370) with attached toilet. A tucked-away pooja (120×150) sits beside the stair — a quiet ritual anchor for the home.

Upstairs, a compact first floor holds a second bed room (362×370) with its own toilet and a wraparound sitout that becomes the family's private terrace. Planter troughs of green foliage soften the balcony edge, and a slatted screen on the west elevation controls the afternoon sun.
