House of Arches - exemplifies a thoughtful blend of vernacular architecture and sustainable living, designed for an elderly couple and their daughter. Located in  Coimbatore, the residence features a series of arches and a jacked arch roof that  evoke nostalgic memories while serving as structural elements, replacing  conventional reinforced concrete lintels and roof. The design prioritizes simplicity and accessibility, with a spacious veranda and large openings that promotes airflow and natural light. Key materials include fired brick, lime mortar, and poured earth concrete, ensuring comfort through temperature regulation. The interiors are characterized by a minimalist aesthetic, with earthy tones and terracotta flooring,  creating a healthy, bright environment that meets the couple's needs for a serene and functional home.
