From the lively blare of its colourful markets filled with a subtle fragrance of turmeric, to the purring of its numerous looms-everything about Erode has an essence of warmth attached to it. One of the most popular districts in Tamil Nadu, Erode is a perfect blend of natural beauty and traditions. A land cradled between the opulent waters of the Kaveri and Bhavani rivers; this scenic beauty is a perfect place for life. The dwelling, a symbol of beauty, that radiates elegance through the incorporation of traditional elements of Chettinad and Tamil architecture delivers a living environment protected from the prevailing dry weather. The views from and to the site, the performance of the building, all became important considerations that formed the architectural response for this venture.
