Designing an architectural house with abundant natural light and a focus on open space planning and landscape was our aim for this resident at Kumbakonam.
The exterior of the house can feature a modern and minimalist design with clean lines and a mix of materials like concrete, glass, and wood. Large windows and glass doors will be strategically placed to allow ample natural light to flood the interiors and offer beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. We ensured that the house is oriented to capture the maximum amount of natural light. Placing larger windows and openings on the south-facing side to help achieve this, as it allows for more sunlight throughout the day.
An open floor plan can create a sense of spaciousness and connectivity between different areas of the house. Consider having a seamless transition between the living room, dining area, and kitchen. This not only maximizes the flow of light but also promotes a sense of togetherness. We incorporated large windows where possible as it can bring in ample daylight and provide panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. We opted for light-colored walls, ceilings, and flooring materials. Light colors help bounce natural light around the space, making it feel brighter and more open. Keep the interior design relatively simple and uncluttered. This not only enhances the open feel of the space but also allows the focus to remain on the architecture and the interplay of light.
We incorporated outdoor spaces in design that are an extension of the interior living areas. Consider creating a covered patio or deck where residents can enjoy the outdoors while still being protected from the elements. Alongside natural light, consider natural ventilation. Position windows and openings to encourage cross-ventilation, allowing fresh air to flow through the house. By combining contemporary architectural elements with nature integration, the 3BHK house in Kumbakonam became a haven of comfort, elegance, and tranquility. The seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces allows the residents to fully enjoy the beauty of the landscape while living in a modern and stylish home.
