The Kandambath house is a unique and intriguing example of a pattern language at work. The design of the house features a repeated pattern of lines that emphasize the vertical and horizontal aspects of the space. These lines are blended with a carefully chosen material palette to create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design.
One of the key features of the Kandambath house is the way that the horizontal grains of the travertine marble are enhanced by the vertical wooden cladding. This contrasting pattern is repeated throughout the walls of the residence, creating a sense of harmony and flow. Openings on both levels of the house create breaks in the pattern, but the overall design remains consistent and cohesive.
In addition to the pattern language at work in the design of the house, careful attention has also been paid to the materials and finishes used. The vertical wooden planks are placed on cherrawood panels with great care and precision, and the travertine marble is used without any adulteration. Overhanging eaves and a detailed steel section running along them add a further layer of interest and complexity to the design. The color scheme of the Kandambath house is predominantly beige, brown, and white, with contrasting greens provided by the surrounding landscape. This color scheme adds to the overall feeling of harmony and cohesiveness within the space. Overall, the Kandambath house is a stunning example of how a pattern language and careful attention to materials can create a truly unique and beautiful design.
