A single storey 3BHK residence for Ankush Abraham by profession a Pilot serving THE NAVY. The Residence is located in midst of Rubber Plantations at Ranni, a sub_Urban area within Pathanamthitta District of Kerala. The house accommodates a Foyer, Formal Living, Dining area and Family Living in an open plan layout, this is further connected to Kitchen and 3 bedrooms namely Master Bedroom, Parents Bedroom and Guest Bedroom. The Guest Bedroom is planned in way such that the access to common toilet is adjacent to the common wash area hence at night this could function as an attached toilet. Other two bedrooms are provided with a powder room which also acts as the entry and access to attached toilet keeping a buffer from bedroom. A deck is provided aligning the dining area with folding open glass doors on wooden frame overlooking the front yard landscape.
With the client requirement for a compact home on one hand and relatively larger site area on the other hand, we worked out the Residence plan wide enough along the length of abutting street to tackle the awkwardness of a small home in a huge plot. working on the design we felt this too aren't enough, therefore we suggested to keep a part of their existing home from demolition which was recently renovated by adding a bedroom space. we kept the latest built structure and added a toilet and Kitchen, converting the layout to a studio layout which they could use as their outhouse or even as an extended bedroom. This planning strategy of keeping a compact home in a relatively huge plot is named Triumphant in concept relating to an elephant which has no idea of its size or capability. .
