This Kerala Home Has a Floating Entry Over a Lilly Pond! (House Tour)

Описание: Discover Lilly House, a thoughtfully designed luxury residence in Calicut that celebrates nature, craftsmanship, and calm living. Conceived as a private retreat for a doctor and her family, this five-bedroom tropical home is wrapped in lily ponds, immersed in greenery, and finished with earthy, tactile materials. Every element of the house is tuned to the rhythms of its surroundings, offering a deeply immersive, sensory experience that redefines modern Indian residential architecture.

Rooted in the ethos of tropical modernism and biophilic design, Lilly House blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. The architecture opens up in layers, verandahs, courtyards, water bodies, and terraces work together to bring in light, breeze, and nature. A floating bridge across a lily pond marks the entry, setting the tone for the home’s poetic spatial journey. Inside, spaces are expansive yet intimate, with a central living volume, multiple dining zones, and a discreet consultation space for the doctor that connects to a private courtyard. The use of wood is a defining feature, panelled ceilings, handcrafted furniture, carved screens, and warm timber floors bring depth, texture, and a sense of timelessness to every room.

Materials are local and honest: laterite stone, textured plaster, cane, and natural wood come together in a restrained palette that balances luxury with warmth. Every detail, from the layered ceiling in the master bedroom to the breezy upper-floor terrace, is designed for both comfort and contemplation. This is a home where modern architecture meets regional sensibility, where every corner frames nature, and every surface invites touch.

Lilly House is not just a house, it is a living, breathing environment that grows with its inhabitants.
