What it's made of
  • plastered colonial facade
  • louvered timber shutters
  • ornamental cornices
  • columned front portico

A Bengali colonial-style house on a 30x60 Kolkata plot, with tall louvered timber shutters, ornamental cornices and a columned front portico recalling the city's heritage mansions. Kolkata's hot-humid climate and monsoon are answered by the deep verandah, high ceilings and ventilating shutters. The thick plastered walls keep the interior cool through the sticky Bengali summer. A crisp white-and-grey rendering modernises the colonial bones while honouring their proportions. You can switch finishes to compare looks before deciding.
