This interior showcases a magnificent example of traditional South Indian architecture with contemporary elements. We are looking at a long gallery or veranda with an impressive wooden ceiling that creates a sense of warmth and spaciousness. The coffered ceiling with wooden beams has a characteristic ribbed structure, giving the interior rhythm and depth.
Massive round columns made of polished wood, set on white stone bases, serve not only as structural elements but also create a visual rhythm throughout the space. Particularly noteworthy is the use of natural wood in a warm reddish-brown shade, which dominates the space and emphasizes the connection to traditional building materials.
Along the wall, an elegant wooden bench with smooth curves fits organically into the overall aesthetic of the room. The light marble floor contrasts with the warm wooden elements, adding a sense of spaciousness and light. At the end of the gallery, the interior space of the house is visible, creating perspective and inviting one to enter deeper.
This style can be adapted for a modern home by using wooden elements in the decoration of a veranda or terrace, creating expressive wooden ceilings, and integrating traditional elements such as columns with contemporary materials. The use of natural materials and the contrast between light and dark surfaces can create a similar sense of harmony and comfort.
