- carved wooden door
A traditional Tamil house on a 30x50 Madurai plot, fronted by a raised thinnai sit-out platform flanked by turned timber columns — the social threshold of the South Indian home. A deeply carved wooden door opens to the Vastu-aligned direction. The thick lime-plaster walls and shaded thinnai keep the temple town's fierce dry heat at bay. Earthy terracotta render with ivory trim and dark teak captures the rooted Tamil aesthetic. You can switch finishes to compare looks before deciding.
