Architects: Stapati Achitects
Stapati Architects are noted for use of traditional elements in modern context very successfully.
Just a glimpse of their work :-
This traditional house by the lake entice me so much that I am ready to leave my metro city any time!
the wooden columns and railings in the verandah
Most prominent feature in Kerala’s architecture is its gabled roofs and all wood constructions.
wood & more wood interior (Kumarakom resort)
The skillful choice of timber, accurate joinery, artful assembly and delicate carving of wood work for columns, walls and roofs frames are the unique characteristics of traditional Kerala architecture.
The gorgeous wooden staircase which has decorated pages of practically all the interiors magazines in India!
I already started feeling cool breeze all over my spirit!

It was in the later part of the 19th century when residential complexes in Kerela had flat terrace roofs , rather than gabled roofs , which automatically reduced the use of wood within the interiors as well.
Nowadays these traditional architectural methods can be seen more at resorts and hotels , and a few residential complexes .
