The structure itself reminds one of those sprawling colonial-style American homes. The elevation stands majestically on a raised plot of land. Visually stunning, this 3,500 sq ft “holiday house” was built to hold friends and family especially when they were back home from their workplaces abroad. It was explicitly designed with the intention of housing and entertaining loved ones, the more, the merrier. When a house is thought of, the desires and concepts of each member will have to be reckoned with. It was with a whole list of ideas that Puttadiyil Kadandose Antony set about designing and planning his house located near Kumily.
Antony bought the picturesque 28.5 cents of land by the side of a hillock with a definite intention. The house would be too large a prospect for Antony and wife and their son Jiss Jose and his family. But the couple had three other sons, all settled or working abroad. He wanted all of them under one roof, come holidays. Hence, this mini-palace. Antony’s wish prevailed and the designer got the house ready with all top-class amenities complementing the beauty of its exterior.
The house is flanked on all side by lush greenery and beautiful natural landscaping. The holiday home can easily house four large families.
