Courtyard House
By Appaswamy
Location : Thiruvamniyur, Chennai
Area : 3000 sq.ft
Date : 1998
Designed in the Mid 80’s, this traditional House continues to be one of the most successful open courtyard houses, which has survived many years of harsh rain and sun with no adverse effects. An intricate grill covers the central courtyard, offering a design element which casts varying shadows on the living spaces through the course of the day. This combined with wooden columns, and carved wooden eaves boards, creates an illusion of stepping into days of yore!
