Tropical Concrete House That Amplifies Natural Beauty | KATTA

ByMyProperty Life

Nestled along the lush riverbanks of Tirur, India, the Katta (House of Noushad) appears to “bloom” above the water. With a bold cantilevered design that suspends its main volume in the air, this architectural masterpiece offers uninterrupted views of the river and forest.

Designed with a seamless blend of concrete, glass, and natural surroundings, the house features expansive glazing that frames the landscape like living artwork, a striking steel staircase set against an inclined wall, and layered walls that protect from the southern heat. Every detail reflects a balance between minimalism, raw structure, and nature.

  • The New Old

    It all started with a pendant light found in an exhibition in Paris. Named the New Old Light, it mixes eastern and western styles, old and modern aesthetics and encapsulated a lot of the ideals for a young Taiwanese American couple as they started their new home. This concept of the New Old extended beyond the light and became a central tenet to the renovation once the couple moved back to this space as a family with twins. The project was a small renovation of a kitchen and living room in a 1,000-square-foot condo to accommodate the family. The renovation included new floors, lighting, kitchen cabinetry, custom millwork and ceramic dinnerware for the space. The kitchen island design was inspired by Donald Judd’s library table. It had to provide adequate storage for the kitchen as well as function as an eating/work space at times. In addition, the island was constructed so that the storage volume could be removed from the bookcase legs and table top, for future use as a counter-height table. Sliding doors are constructed with hidden sliding hardware, and the design was inspired by traditional Shoji screens. Ceramic dinnerware was custom created for the kitchen space.
