The owner, Raveendran, wanted a simple two-storied structure. It had to be cost-effective, yet comfortable to live in. Designer Sajeendran Kommeri was apprised of the plan as his expertise lay in building budget homes. Within eight months, Raveendran’s house was ready.
Laterite stone claddings over the exterior walls heighten the effect of the house. A sit-out, living-dining space, three bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and work area complete the structure. Thanks to the meticulous planning, the complete structure was ready in three months and the furnishing in five. The total cost, a cool Rs 22 lakhs.
