A tropical residence on an open landscape plot. We attempted to combine the essence of a tropical home with a desire for contemporary style. The Aalayam evokes a beautiful bygone period with its immaculate white walls and Mangalore-tiled roof. An open terrace and patio with a view of the lusciously green paddy field and greenery all around generate and possess a distinct mood that cannot be explained but can be felt. The differently leveled overlapping sloped roof contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the facade.
