When the Pereiras—a couple based in the United States with their three daughters—discovered Meera Pyarelal’s work, they were drawn to the charming colonial styles that echoed across her designs. They yearned for a home closer to their roots and family, leading them to build a heritage-inspired 5,000-square-foot, four-bedroom apartment in Kochi, Kerala.
The Pereiras wanted a home that exuded colonial charm, served as a sanctuary for their aging parents, and could eventually house heirlooms for future generations. The design needed to balance heritage aesthetics with modern-day comforts, ensuring that all contemporary appliances and automation systems were seamlessly integrated into the space.
One of the primary challenges was to maintain the home's colonial heritage essence while incorporating advanced home automation and modern conveniences. This included the need to conceal all modern devices, wires, and appliances to preserve the traditional look.
