Wallmakers
Wallmakers, a well known firm, led by the award winning Architect, Ar.Vinu Daniel, uses mud and waste as chief components to make structures that are both utilitarian and alluring. Speaking the language of site and materials, the buildings are best suited to the maker, the user and the natural setting.
01
Iha Residence
The Bamboo House in Trivandrum
The design of this residence breaks the shackles of a lot of generic ideas. The main concern while designing was to avoid creating an environmental imbalance in the area as it was a low-lying region.
02
Shikhara Residence
The Shuttered Debris House in Pothencode
Set against one of the silent hilltops of Trivandrum, the site was located at the highest point in that particular part of the woods. However, being a west facing site one would have to hold up a hand to shield their eyes from the harsh west sun. That ‘hand’ was reimagined as a slanting wall along the site giving birth to the concept of conceiving the residence as - Shikhara ( Peak)
03
Pirouette House
The Fired Brick Residence in Trivandrum
The Pirouette House features the “Last of the Mohicans” fired bricks as an ode to the stellar practice of Laurie Baker with spaces that are made beautiful by the pure geometry and patterns created by the walls that seem to be coming alive and pirouetting around.
The projects displayed above are solely designed by Wallmakers.
