Residence for Mr. Kumar, Kasipalayam

With the humble and simple living in village, Mr. N Kumar had a dream house to be built, with an impossible budget.

​

With himself and his family participating for the construction of this house in his village, the beautiful dwelling came up with a big change in their lifestyles by shifting from a dilapidated old house to this dream house for his family.

​

Another example of reviving the traditional architecture with using low quality and cheap fired bricks, handpicked from rejected pile, IPS on the floor, and a small front porch, the dwelling now houses this sweet little family of Mr. Kumar.
