Villa Shakti

Villa Shakthi, located in Cherpu, Thrissur, Kerala, is spread across a 2,500 sqm site and is anchored by a central pool court that shapes its spatial and climatic design. Acting as the cooling heart of the home, the court allows rooms and circulation spaces to open and flow around it, creating a strong visual and physical connection with water and landscape. The front wing houses a deep veranda, formal living, and entertainment spaces that overlook a lush garden, encouraging casual social interaction and community engagement. Granite and limestone cladding on floors, walls, and edges enhance the tactile transition between indoors and outdoors, celebrating regional materiality. At the core, the dining and family zones align axially with the pool, framed by a striking staircase and bridge connecting the two wings. Designed for a family returning from abroad, Villa Shakthi balances contemporary design with contextual warmth, privacy, and tropical comfort.
