COCHIN HOUSE

This 2100 sf apartment is in a complex built in Cochin for the large NRI market there. Keralans have a fondness for color and contrast in addition to a deep reverence for nature. Here, every one of the six rooms is punctuated by a single saturated hue surrounded by neutral tones and colors. Statuary and artwork of western origin, wall treatments, and accessories gesture to East Asia, while gold leaf surfaces speak to the Indian affection for opulence.
