A Contemporary Family Home Embracing Generational Living - The Crimped Roof House |

The Crimped Roof House in Poovarni, Pala is a thoughtfully designed single-story residence that gracefully adapts to its sloping terrain. By embracing the natural contours of the site, the design elevates the main living areas while subtly integrating the car parking zone at a lower level. Its most defining feature—the undulating, crimped roof—not only lends a sculptural character to the architecture but also shapes the spatial experience within, creating varying ceiling heights that add rhythm and fluidity to the interiors. Each space maintains its individuality while contributing to a unified and cohesive spatial narrative.

The home is organized along a central circulation spine that divides it into three distinct zones. At one end lies the formal wing, comprising a private office and a living room. The core of the house hosts the family living area, dining space, and kitchen—spaces designed for connection and daily life. The private zone, tucked away at the far end, features five bedrooms that offer tranquility and seclusion. A warm material palette, highlighted by teak wood, infuses the interiors with a sense of calm, while large sliding windows blur the line between inside and out, establishing a strong dialogue with the surrounding landscape.

Climate-responsive strategies are evident in the use of vertical metal louver screens that offer shade, ensure privacy, and filter in soft natural light. Inspired by Japanese minimalism, these elements create a delicate balance between openness and enclosure, enhancing both comfort and visual appeal. With an emphasis on natural ventilation and daylighting, the design reduces dependence on mechanical systems, making the house both sustainable and serene. The Crimped Roof House stands as a refined example of contemporary architecture—rooted in its site, responsive to climate, and rich in spatial and material expression.
