A walk through a cool villa in Chennai
This beautiful villa remains cool amidst the heat and cacophony of a bustling
town in Chennai thanks to its architectural design. The clients requested to
have a lot of natural wind movement in the house, and we will see later how
designers, Muraliarchitects from Chennai achieved this result flawlessly with
a traditional design. This breezy villa is also solar powered and uses natural
materials for the skylights as requested by the clients.
Let’s take a walk through this cool villa in Chennai and see what other delightful surprises it holds.
The garden is neatly defined and framed by the pillars, and the stoned paved
walkway adjacent to it compliments the garden with its regular strips of grass.
The strips of grass on the walkway are there not only look pretty next to the
garden, but also in order to allow water to seep into the ground and refill the
ground water table.
In a very literary sense, this is the cool house on the block.
We love how this house maintains the typical design of Indian
houses with a rooftop, yet looks modern and stylish.
The villa is designed with a basement at the bottom, so the living room
and other rooms are raised. There is a staircase leading to a balcony
and the entrance to the house. The spacious building is to house a
family of five and an office space.
On the balcony leading to the entrance of the house, we see a rectangular
water feature and can sneak a peek through the glass into the lovely villa.
The spacious living room and dining area looks out to the shallow pool
and its green surroundings.
The secret to this cool, breezy, well ventilated house is this beautiful central
courtyard, a popular traditional architectural design used in tropical houses.
It’s also interesting to see how the central courtyard connects the house closer
to nature with a garden space, and plenty of natural light and wind movement.
The cross ventilation enabled by this simple yet ingenious design keeps this
house cool and calm, and the openness of the house makes living spaces more
airy and pleasant. The yoga room situated on the first floor amidst the green
landscape and bamboo pergola makes full use of the lovely garden and the
openness of this house.
