Unlike the traditional aesthetics of residences commonly seen within the Kerala context, what sets the Nazeeb residence apart from the rest is the fact that this building is a quintessential representation of the post modernism style of design. Right from the entrance, this home exudes an array of experiences, making sure that the beauty of the building on the outside is carried forward towards the inside. The landscaping elements are a combination of both existing vegetation on the site, as well as subtle additions that perfectly compliment the built form. The playful interplay of massing within a varied scale, aims to convey a sense of discovery with each step forward. The contrast between its tropical green surroundings and the ruggedness of the grey stone pavement, provide the perfect backdrop for this intriguing building. The visual feasibility of a garage space has been closely considered here, which stands within the backdrop of a lush green landscape which is the perfect setting that encloses yet another visual experience. The dynamic arrangement of the hard-scape pavements and the strategic placement of the garage are all a part of this design approach. Characterized by simple masses and a contrasting color scheme, the view of the residence has been curated in such a way that offers privacy and openness simultaneously. This is achieved through tall bamboo trees and perforated openings with stones placed vertically at the road facing side of the site. Evidently this is a space that has explored all aspects of comfortable usability, yet not compromising on the diverse experiences that a building can offer. Every space is a visual frame on its own, that reveals itself as the architecture unfolds.
