A Blend of Tradition and Innovation at Vazhakulam, Ernakulam
Owner: Sri. Manokumar
Location: Vazhakulam, Ernakulam
Area: 1457 sq.ft
Estimate: ₹25,00,000 + 10% Supervision Charge [excluding interior]
Type: 3 BHK Interlock Home
Designed by: Building Designers – K.V. Muraleedharan
Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Vazhakulam, this 1457 sq.ft interlocking home beautifully bridges the charm of Kerala’s traditional architecture with the sustainability of modern construction. Designed by K.V. Muraleedharan and his expert team at Building Designers, this elegant 3BHK residence is a fine example of cost-effective design and aesthetic excellence.
The exterior, adorned with terracotta-toned interlocking blocks, instantly stands out for its earthy appeal. The tiled sloping roof, with its deep eaves and graceful symmetry, evokes nostalgia for Kerala’s timeless architectural heritage. The front elevation strikes a perfect balance — strong granite-toned pillars enhance the structure’s grandeur, while the warm color palette harmonizes with the natural surroundings.
Inside, the home opens into spacious, well-lit interiors marked by thoughtful detailing. The central pillar section under a coffered wooden ceiling creates a traditional focal point that radiates strength and character. Soft pastel walls complement the wooden ceiling, giving the interiors a serene and inviting aura. Natural ventilation and ample daylight flow through wide windows, ensuring a bright, airy atmosphere throughout the home.
Each of the three bedrooms is designed with functional simplicity, making the most of available space without compromising comfort. The use of interlock technology not only minimizes the need for plastering and painting but also provides superior thermal insulation—keeping the home cool in summer and warm during monsoon months.
Beyond aesthetics, this project is a statement of eco-conscious living and budget-friendly design. Built at a modest cost of ₹25 lakhs (excluding interiors), it demonstrates how sustainable building practices can coexist with refined architectural beauty.
With its traditional soul and modern efficiency, Manokumar’s home at Vazhakulam stands as a proud representation of Building Designers’ vision—homes that are rooted in Kerala’s culture yet crafted for the needs of today’s families.
