With its elaborate canopy and Mangalore tiles, the house's main entrance has been made even more warm and inviting. It has a highly characteristic Mangalore clay roof appearance because of the distinctive shaded pattern of the clay tiles employed here, which range from red to black.

The courtyard, which is at the center of the house, is where the white walls and reclaimed wood columns contrast. The wood logs were beautifully carved into the swing as a classic addition to the courtyard. The swing's construction uses recycled wood panels that are connected by brass chains for a classic yet modern look.

t’s not often that a home blends the modern, the traditional, as well as the natural so seamlessly and so well. Named ‘Thotti Mane’ – A Kannada term that translates to Courtyard House, this tranquil abode maximises the limited plot size through its signature central courtyard. This becomes an epicentre for everyday activities, visual connections as well as hosting guests.  Head to the link in the bio to watch the full video and download the PDF eBook with detailed floor plans, images, and info on materials used.  Situated in a rather peaceful Bengaluru neighbourhood, Thotti Mane creates an eye-catching first impression through its layered traditional façade. Like a place of worship, the journey through threshold spaces leads to the courtyard, around which the private and public spaces are centered. Architects Ninada Kashyap and Komal Mittal from Alkove-Design (@alkovedesign) take us through the home, breaking down the design process. They also mention how sustainability is at the forefront of this vernacular structure, utilising materials and elements that minimise carbon footprint.  The central courtyard (of course), the façade, the entry space, and the reclaimed woodwork are some of the key highlights in this home. Despite representing traditional architecture with vernacular elements, this home feels magical and timeless, thanks to the seamless fusion of everything it is composed of. Buildofy invites you to step inside this inspirational abode.  Architectural Journalist: Ar.

Athangudi tiles have incredible aesthetic appeal. Each tile is individually produced using a 6x6 mold with four to six colors poured within. To give an attractive appearance, these tiles are interwoven with jaisalmer stones and green marble and given a glossy sheen by the metal molds.
