- front sit-out verandah
A traditional coastal home on a 30x50 Mangalore plot, defined by its hipped red Mangalore-tile roof — the tiles that gave the city its name — and a wide front sit-out verandah. Deep timber eaves and a raised laterite plinth answer the Karnataka coast's ferocious monsoon and humidity. The verandah is the social heart of the facade, shading the entry. Earthy terracotta render with ivory trim and dark teak complements the warm tile roof beautifully. You can switch finishes to compare looks before deciding.
