Designing a Dutch-Inspired Residence in Kerala: A Self-Taught Architect's Journey | ArchPro

- The Dutch-inspired residence in Kerala designed by a self-taught architect who has studied architectural marvels in Sri Lanka would be a project that showcases a unique blend of traditional and modern elements. The exterior of the house could be designed to feature the typical gable roof of Dutch architecture, but with traditional Kerala materials and motifs incorporated into the design.
The house could also feature large windows and verandas to take advantage of the warm and sunny climate of Kerala. The architect could use a variety of materials such as wood, stone, and brick to create an interesting façade. The color palette could reflect a mix of Kerala and Dutch influences, with bold, bright colors used alongside softer, more muted tones.
Inside, the home could feature a mix of traditional Kerala and Dutch-inspired elements. For example, the use of wood and natural materials could be combined with the clean lines and functional design of Dutch interiors. The living spaces could be open-plan to create a feeling of space and airiness.
In terms of layout, the house could be designed to make the most of the available space while also incorporating elements of traditional Kerala and Dutch architecture. For example, the use of open courtyards and interior gardens could help bring natural light and ventilation into the home while also providing a serene and peaceful space for relaxation.
Furniture and décor could be carefully selected to reflect the Dutch and Kerala influences. The use of antique and handcrafted pieces could create a rustic and charming feel. The architect could incorporate modern elements as well, such as smart home technology and energy-efficient systems to create a more sustainable home.
Overall, the Dutch-inspired residence in Kerala designed by a self-taught architect who has studied architectural marvels in Sri Lanka has the potential to be a stunning and unique home. The combination of these different design influences could result in a truly beautiful and functional space that reflects both the local environment and the architect's personal style.

No words! House looks damn beautiful. Great to see people adopting ancient styles
Didn't you know, retro is the new trend. It will be for some time.....
@@robinfrost5561 Indeed, it is! I bought two antique style cots in the last couple of years. For me, retro exudes class and warmth that is unmatched.
The typical old kerala house❤. Nostalgia. Absolutely beautiful... soothing to the eyes and fills my heart with such warm. The kerala architecture and colors... and oh... the yellow lights at night with all that surrounding greenery and beautiful shade of brown mud. Fabulous.
the stairs is what caught my eyes, never seen that kind of stairs in my life. even though I've traveled to many places and stayed in lots of heritage homes/hotels/stays, I've never seen such comfortable base of stairs. kudos to the artist, I'm 27 right now currently planning to build my home and the stairs will definitely go to my home, the exterior color science is a pleasant sight to behold.
This is amazing! It's a perfect melt between Dutch and Kerala. Very clean lines induce peace of mind, but it still feels very comfortable. Just perfect!
Its actually typical Kerala house.
Dutch people made these types of houses
You have an incredible taste. The rich opulence is very welcome. Arches, white walls, Kerala tiled roof and furniture are just amazing. God bless, brother.
Thank you so much 😊
wow..amazing mixture of Dutch and Kerala styles.
Incredible concept and beautiful execution. The build, color tones and the materials used are all beautiful. The owner is obviously a man with fine taste!
വളരെ നന്നായിട്ടുണ്ട് ഡച്ചു ശൈലി എന്ന് തീർച്ചയായും പറയാം പോർച്ചുഗീസ്, ഡച്ച്, അവരൊക്കെ തന്നെയാണ് നമ്മുടെ നാടൻ ഓട് ഉപയോഗിച്ച് കേരളത്തിൽ കൊട്ടാരങ്ങൾ പണിയാൻ തുടങ്ങിയത്. അതുപിൻപറ്റിയാണ് നമ്മുടെ കൊട്ടാരങ്ങൾ പലതും ഓലയിൽ നിന്നും ഓടിലേക്ക് മാറിയതും. ആഗ്രഹം പോലെ സ്വന്തമായി ഡിസൈൻ ചെയ്യാനും നിർമ്മിക്കാനും കഴിഞ്ഞുവല്ലോ Great 💪
This is absolutely gorgeous! I am originally from Kalady area, married to a wonderful man from Kozhikode and now living in the US. We too have a beautiful period home in the heart of Kozhikode that has been passed down to my husband and we have renovated it maintaining its original integrity yet with modern amenities. Will look out for this home on my next visit back to Kerala
Would love to visit your house as well🥰
Bruh... I never thought of building a home for myself.But seriously you inspired me .thank you .
Even now I feel I want a beautiful home .
u have captured the essence beautifully. kudos to architect and team
the exterior just leaves me staggered!
Such a beautiful house, so many lovely elements is charming. I could not see much of the real Dutch architecture ( I live in Belgium, travel to the Netherlands time to time)...but definitely the Kerala inspired Dutch architecture which they built in India when the Dutch were in Kerala.
more like old colonial Dutch architecture style ig.
Beautiful!!! Congratulations... കണ്ടാൽ കൊതിച്ചു പോകുന്ന വീട്!!! (one of the very few houses that have appealed personally to me)...
Thank you
CERTAINL;Y A wonderful architectural achievement in its excellence of design. CONGRATULATIONS! DR SADA,INDIA.
Simply stunning!A house that respects nature gives out such beautiful and peaceful vibes. The architecture interior and landscape complement each other. Congratulations to the architect and the owner for such a beautiful vision.
As Sri Lankan and Huge Geoffrey Bawa Fan, I like Kerala architecture.
Is Bawa a 'dutch architecture' proponent? Ideally this house seems designed on the basis of his principles of Ceylon homes with some kerala themes. The only obvious Dutch influences seem to me manifest in the use of glass, eg: the entrance doors and the entrance pergola.

എത്ര പഴയ ബെൽജിയം ഗ്ലാസ് ഉള്ള മലബാർ മുസ്ലിം തറവാട് വീടുകൾ ആണ് പൊളിച്ചു കളയുന്നു. Proud of you
😊 Thank you
I like that it has a courtyard although small , a thing most luxury houses in modern era miss out on .
Love the simplicity windows, beams and the floor tiles. Very soothing place. Congratulations
❤️
Awesome. No words. Will definitely try to visit ur place if possible in my next Kerala visit
❤️
Timeless Classic! Excellent House
beautiful buddy! beautiful! You have done more than justice to this home. It is such a sweet place, and so beautiful!
Most beautiful house in India I have seen in a while. It has a lot of character and so different from all the wanna be Indians who are trying to copy modern western style interiors. Truly beautiful.
Thank you so much😍😘
Great work...being a dutch style not much easy on these days...
Beautiful. Congratulations
Best house I have ever seen in all these house tour video of diff kind of house.. Basically I thought somekind of this style in my mind for my future house. Now I got the style name.. Thank you.. It's really Inspire my vision
To build a house of our dreams is very gratifying. This shows your taste. Day lighting looks fabulous. I'm sure you would have taken care of ventilation. Another video with greater detail will be appreciated. God bless you and family.
Superb, elegant n class good taste n everything is awesome
Thank you
Wow....amazing. ❤❤❤❤
Superb some day i dream of building such a nice home
Love it. Has a lovely peaceful feel to it well done. Congrats!
Thank you
Beautiful house !! This one will look fresh for decades.
Thank you
Beautiful , very close to my idea of my dream home.
☺️
Excellant taste...executed beautifully..
Minimalistic but majestic
Thank you
Not Dutch. The house is exquisite but it does not have anything Dutch in it, saying this as an owner of a 30 year olf Dutch house, living in Netherlands for 3 years. Dutch houses are never spacious because the country has limited land. The houses are always multi storey with the classic Dutch stairs which are congested due to their spiral nature and it is nowhere found in this house. This house has no element of Dutch architecture, the house is beautiful and amazing the way it is.
Maybe the creators are referring to colonial Dutch, the style is bound to change over time plus Indian Dutch and Dutch are bound to be different.
Mate google Colonial Dutch architecture in India or goto wiki page "Dutch Colonial architecture".
'' saying this as an owner of a 30 year old Dutch house''
''Dutch houses are never spacious''
''The houses are always multi story''
''with the classic Dutch stairs which are congested due to their spiral nature''
''This house has no element of Dutch architecture''
Except for the first one, your comments are painfully false and wrong, and a ''30 year old house'' can mean anything build in every nation on earth, without having a clue as to what it looks like.
I guess you haven't been around much in 3 years time.
You are very ignorant and knows nothing about the history of architecture
Dutch houses in India is a fusion and they are typically very large and airy. It’s to suit our weather.
superb, congratz
Excellent!! This is my dream Home😊
u made me dream about my new home
I love your house , very beautiful. Love it . Super 🎉
Better than the usual current style
Amazing!! Such a beautiful house!
Thank you
the design of those stairs are simple yet so elegant. kudos to the property developer.
❤️
Great. A classic of combination.
Thank you
❤ really loved it. Definitely feels positive energy
Thank you
🎉🎉🎉the house speaks larger than any words .pure calmness ❤❤
joy .
Classically Designed 👍
Glad you think so!
Beautiful home, the interiors are airy, spacious, well lighted and have lovely colonial touch with cane and antique furniture. I didn't see any wardrobe in the rooms, did you incorporate a walk in closet with a seperate door to keep it simple? All in all, lovely home, wish you many years of happy living and happy memories.
Thank you so much. Wardrobes are there. we kept it minimal
Simple & Beautiful
Thank you
Such a beautiful house. The element of artificiality is not there. Superb design.
Lovely, esp for a large family.
Just loved it. Beautiful!
God bless!
Thank you so much!
This particular style of architecture in Ketala “Dutch Style” reminds that “Karela” was once a Dutch Colony and as of 2023 “Karelians” are still living under their “Dutch Masters”
excellent architect ,, awesome cinematography,,
Thank you ❤️
Elegant and damn beautiful....
Very elegant design with lots of natural light.
Thank you
Very beautiful..
Experimenting by own is good and it looks good...These days architects are charging more but we are not getting the output as we expect.
Absolutely love post colonial influences on traditional architecture
❤️

The best part is surrounded by nature
Being surrounded by nature is truly wonderful. It brings a sense of peace and tranquility. 🌿🌳🍃
What would be the approximate cost of construction?
This is the best colonial design house i have seen....it's resembles to many of my favourite old buildings in my Kozhikode city....old Muslim tharavadu, collector guest house, mayor guest house and in beach we can see this architecture...it's a timeless beauty...i personally like this architecture with naalukett very much....it's give me homely feeling than modern contemporary houses....
Thank you🥰
Astonishingly beautiful architechture.
Thank you
So beautiful!!! 😍
😊
Marvelous is just not enough word
Thank you❤️
A beautiful house in a colonial bungalow architecture…
The house looks nothing like Dutch houses (That’s actually a compliment). Dutch palace in fort kochi was built by Portugese.
Thank you so much.
Agree. In Kerala We have only Colonial Style (Mix of Vastu with European Spacious and Design Philosophy) Dutch Architecture in Netherlands is Quite different
Cant agree with u more !!
Great taste and beautiful execution. Congratulations.
Thank you😊
Fantabulous ❤
Thank you :)
I am fascinated always with Spanish and Portuguese Artichitecture prevalent in Goa
🥰
Is it expensive to build dutch colonial house ?
Stunning.
Wow it is just like visiting a house in Scandinavian region . . . .
Thank you
Superb....every inch....of space...very innovative...different...but beautiful!

Passionately executed! Love it❤

Thank You
Absolutely beautiful and very soothing.
Thank you
My fav style and the neutral colour scheme is very elegant. Worst part is your children are growing so be sure you'll see many arts in your walls
This is what i really need 😊. I have a similar wooden table. Great work 👍👍🥰
Thank you
Very aesthetically designed and executed! Kudos.
Glad you like it!
@@ArchPro Good home.But sorry to this is not dutch archether at all.I am not a architect but interested in Dutch culture.'The key essential facture of traditional Dutch archether elements (ex:gables, crow steps ,dutch doors etc)are not visible in this home .it is just a imitation of buildings of fort cochin.That's all. Nothing less nothing more ,But ....still it is is a beautiful house
My dream house ...some day..thanks dada
Your dreams will come true one day!
Amazing house. congrats. great work
Thank You

Absolutely loved it for its simplicity & elegance….gives the feeling of both a heritage and a modern home …the colours used, the design of windows & doors , the courtyard, everything looks great…the stairs & the balcony 🫡…
I always had my dream home in mind like this but never would have been able to explain to anyone,but this beats my dream…I’d love to replicate some day😅
Thank you
