Site located at Kongad (Palakkad, Kerala) on Kongad - Pathirippala road with entry from west.
East, West, and North sides of the site flanked by urban developments
Open, wet land at southern side with pleasing view towards 'Mucheeri Mala' (Mucheeri Hill Ranges)
Constraints
Space availability (Site area only 61 cents)
Low visibility - West, East & North sides of the site flanked by neighbouring developments with narrow frontage on western side. Further, site around 2 metre below road level.
Concept
Split level planning making maximum use of available land area.
Pre, post and function spaces facing southern side with limited openings at eye level to avoid harsh sun and rain, but to give an un-interrupted view towards hill ranges.
Visual and physical connectivity between spaces.
Terracotta jali for letting in south west monsoon winds, hot air escape and for cutting harsh southern sun and rain
