2190 Sq.ft 3-Bedroom Contemporary Flat Roof House – A Perfect Blend of Modern Grace & Tropical Practicality
With a footprint of 1501 sq.ft on the ground floor and 689 sq.ft on the first, this 3-bedroom design is more than a house—it is a lifestyle narrative shaped by comfort, proportion, and fine spatial intelligence.
A Modern Elevation with Character & Depth
The façade is an immediate showstopper. Instead of relying on ornamentation, it impresses through its bold interplay of forms—projected cubes, recessed shadows, floating frames, and subtle volumetric shifts. The flat roofline, characteristic of contemporary Kerala homes, is executed with refined minimalism, while the layered projections create dramatic depth especially under evening lighting.
The material palette is beautifully balanced:
- White cladding brings a crisp modern purity.
- Dark stone at the central spine grounds the structure with earthy weight.
- Exposed red brick adds warmth and Kerala’s vernacular charm.
- Textured grey boxes create sculptural punch and shade internal openings.
- Warm wooden textures soften the composition, especially at the balcony wing.
Strategic recessed lighting across soffits, vertical grooves, and overhangs gives the home a sophisticated night-time aura—almost cinematic in its glow.
The landscape is minimalist yet refined—interlocking grass pavers, tropical foliage, and well-proportioned planter pockets that amplify the elevation without clutter.

GROUND FLOOR – Where Daily Life Unfolds Comfortably
The ground floor is designed with an elegant flow—public spaces near the entrance, private rooms tactfully tucked away, and service zones intelligently grouped.
1. Sitout
A spacious sitout (approx. 12'6" × 4'11") framed by soft lighting and planter accents creates a charming arrival space. It sets the tone for the home’s contemporary aesthetic.
2. Living Room
Placed strategically near the entrance, the living room (approx. 11' × 10') acts as the formal zone—a visitor-friendly space that remains independent from the family areas deeper inside.
3. Dining & Open Kitchen
At the heart of the home lies a bright, social space combining dining and an open kitchen layout. The kitchen counter extends seamlessly, fostering connection during cooking and mealtime conversations. The open kitchen area measures approximately 12'6" × 11'9", while the dining zone sits at around 11'9" × 5'7".
The inclusion of a utility room (approx. 11' × 7') enhances practicality, keeping washing and heavy chores away from the main kitchen.
4. Bedrooms (2 Nos.)
The ground floor houses two well-sized bedrooms, each with its own attached toilet, perfect for a family with elders or guests. The main bedroom (master) on the ground floor measures approximately 15' × 12'6" with an attached toilet around 5'7" × 9'. The second bedroom on the ground floor measures about 15' × 10'5" and shares access to a larger attached toilet (approx. 9'7" × 6'6"), suitable for elder-friendly use.
The master bedroom sits in a quiet corner with excellent ventilation and wardrobe planning.
5. Family Living
Another living space—more intimate than the one near the entrance—serves as a warm, day-to-day family lounge. Positioned near the staircase, it visually and spatially connects the home’s two levels. The family living area measures approximately 21'3" × 11'8", offering generous space for relaxation and family interaction.
6. Pooja Room
A centrally located pooja space (approx. 5'6" × 5'7") adds spiritual grounding. With a small planter court beside it, this corner feels serene and meaningful.
FIRST FLOOR – A Quiet, Private Retreat
The first floor transitions from the bustling ground level into a more contemplative realm—lighter, brighter, and surrounded by open terraces.
1. Upper Living
A spacious lounge dominates the first floor. This is a perfect multi-purpose zone—TV lounge, reading quarter, entertainment corner, or a peaceful evening retreat. Its approximate dimensions are 21'3" × 11'8", and its proximity to the terraces brings abundant daylight and a breezy openness.
Its location near the large fenestration ensures this area is lively during the day and visually connects to the terraces that wrap the level.
2. Bedroom with Attached Toilet
One well-planned bedroom anchors the upper floor—private, quiet, and ideal as a master suite for those who prefer elevated views. The upper bedroom is approximately 15' × 10'5" with an attached toilet measuring around 9'7" × 6'6".
3. Balcony & Planter Area
The bedroom opens to a neat private balcony (approx. 6'3" × 6'3") accompanied by a planter area (approx. 5'6" × 4'11")—ideal for morning tea, potted greens, or simply a moment of calm.
4. Expansive Open Terraces
The entire level is wrapped with large terraces, enhancing the home’s tropical suitability. These terraces serve multiple roles:
- Evening relaxation space
- Rooftop gardening
- Extended entertainment zone
- Heat buffer for indoor rooms
They also elevate the building’s exterior form, making its architecture distinctive and effortlessly modern.
SITE PLAN – A Plot That Supports Good Architecture
Designed on a 40' × 60' plot, the building sits gracefully with balanced setbacks:
- 12 ft front setback for landscape & parking
- 3 ft to 5 ft rear side clearances
- 2–3.5 ft side margins for airflow and maintenance
The southern-side road access aligns perfectly with the sitout and main door, making circulation practical and entry attractive. The spacing around the building allows natural light, breeze, and comfortable maintenance pathways—ensuring the home remains functional for decades.
FINAL IMPRESSION
This 2190 sq.ft contemporary flat-roof home is a well-studied fusion of style and practicality. Every plane, every texture, every room placement speaks of deliberate architectural thinking. It feels modern without being cold, spacious without wasting area, and tropical without losing its contemporary edge.
From its sculptural elevation to its smart floor plans and lifestyle-rich terraces, this home is crafted for a family that desires beauty, comfort, and intelligent design in equal measure.
