Ushas | A farmhouse on the Hills on Malabar

Reading the hill in section.

At Ushas, the terrain became our datum. It set the orientation, the levels, the movement and the structural logic, and the section is where you see that most clearly. The house steps down with the slope instead of cutting into it, and two pitched roofs lift toward the northeastern wind that cools the rooms.

Here the drawing is only a line. In the finished house, the same line is someone crossing a threshold, watering a plant, or sitting at the edge and looking out.

Ushas | A farmhouse on the Hills on Malabar

Deep overhangs, characteristic of tropical architecture, protect the house from rain and sun while also creating shaded recreational spaces around the house.

Ushas | A farmhouse on the Hills on Malabar

We have created a temple below the house, on the lower level, connected by square-cut granite steps, each stone carrying its own identity and spiritual order. Here, the temple is carved into the retaining wall, the living room cantilevered above — reminiscent of cave temples, a space for solitude and meditation, with a podium to dance against the backdrop of mountains, as an offering to the deity.

Ushas | Lost in the Hills

In Kuttikatoor, lie rocky mountains and valleys — a sweet spot in Kozhikode, from where the city seems far away in its macrocosmic view and yet so near geographically. It is not every day we come across a site so surreal that we lose our sense of place.

Ushas | A farmhouse on the Hills on Malabar

Seen in plan, the house is not a destination but a passage — a way through to the farmland beyond, flanked by shelters for the workers on either side. Its intentional angular twist follows the contour of the site, turning the walk through it into a small act of discovery.

Ushas | A farmhouse on the Hills on Malabar

The house, when you look at the plan, is to pass through. It is a way to the farmland, with shelters for the workers on either side. The plan is then divided at an angle, and this shift of movement comes from the site and its contour. In building along the site, it was also built with the local north-eastern wind. In the mountains, the wind has its own whimsy, and to tap that into architecture was something we enjoyed working with.
The house, then, is not a continuous domestic structure but segregated into the personal and the shared. The space in between connects to a garden on one side and steps leading to the site's lower level on the other. In that particular cross-section, the inhabitant is encouraged to connect with the datum, the site, in its two existing levels.

Ushas | A farmhouse on the Hills on Malabar

The Mangalore-tiled roof is designed as a lightweight floating plane that contrasts with the heaviness of the stone masonry walls. Achieved after many iterations, a sleek, slender metal joint connecting the roof and wall masonry enables a seamless transition between the materials.
