Play of light

Kochi | Thursday | 13th February, 2020

Summary:

Designed by Kochi-based architect Roy Antony, the structure has been envisioned as a dramatic play of light and shadow. Perhaps why most windows in the house touch the ceiling, making it seem like the roof is higher than it is. “In contemporary architecture, people are going overboard with ventilation by adding too many windows and vents but too much light makes the space look flat. We have incorporated wooden shutters instead of glass ones to bring in certain depth and cosiness to the space. Hence the residents have control over how much light to let in while also ensuring privacy..
