About This Project
Spread across approximately 3,000 sq. ft., this residence in Pala was envisioned as a peaceful weekend retreat for Mr. Tom and Sonia, who lead busy professional lives in Kochi. Located next to their parental home, the project offers a welcome escape from the demands of city life while keeping them close to their family roots.
Set in a serene environment overlooking lush green paddy fields, the house embraces its natural surroundings. The architecture blends contemporary design with traditional elements, featuring distinctive sloping tiled roofs, natural stone-clad pillars, clean lines and warm timber finishes that create a timeless and welcoming character.
The interiors follow a simple, understated design approach, combining neutral colours, natural textures and carefully considered lighting. Every space is designed to offer comfort and tranquillity, creating an atmosphere where the family can relax, reconnect and enjoy unhurried moments together.
Adding a personal touch to the home are a dedicated home theatre for entertainment, a unique breakfast counter for casual dining and conversations, and a prayer unit for quiet reflection. These thoughtfully incorporated features make the residence more than a weekend getaway, shaping it around the family's lifestyle and preferences.
DH Infraprojects completed the project over 18 months, from initial design to final handover. The residence reflects a commitment to integrating architectural character, functional planning and the natural beauty of the site—creating a home that balances contemporary comfort with the warmth of family connections and the serenity of its surroundings.
