Exterior Design
The elevation pairs white walls with dark grey sloping roofs and sharp gables. Large glass openings and a first floor balcony with glass railing give the house a light, modern feel, while flat roof sections and low terraces create layers along the front. A low compound wall and a green lawn frame the house neatly. In the evening view, warm lights inside the rooms and along the walls make the home look inviting.
Ground Floor Plan
- Sit out – the front verandah

The listing describes the home as having four bedrooms, while the floor-wise list shows three. The first floor has generous open space, so a fourth bedroom may be part of the final layout. Please confirm with the designer.
Why a Study Area Matters Today
A dedicated study area gives the family a quiet place for office work, online meetings and children’s homework, away from the TV and the kitchen. Placing it on the first floor, next to the upper living area, keeps it peaceful while still connected to the family. A large window, good task lighting, built-in shelves and enough power points turn it into a productive corner that every member can use.
Other Smart Features
- Powder room: a small washroom near the living areas for guests, so they do not need to use bedroom bathrooms.
- Two living rooms: formal and family living keep guests and family life separate.
- Courtyard: improves natural light and cross ventilation, reducing the need for fans and lights during the day.
- Terraces: low level and open terraces give outdoor space for plants, drying clothes or evening relaxation.
- Built-in shelves: the designer notes that every room has built-in storage.
Interior Ideas
Keep the formal living room elegant with a feature wall and soft lighting, and make the family living room comfortable with a large sofa and TV unit. Around the courtyard, use light colours and glass doors so the daylight spreads into nearby rooms. Upstairs, the upper living area and study can flow into each other, creating a calm zone for reading, work and family time. Simple furniture and good storage keep the home open and easy to maintain.
Cost and Planning Tips
The designer has not shared a cost estimate for this house. The budget for a 2543 sq ft home depends on current construction rates, roofing type, glass work, flooring and interiors. Get an itemised, up-to-date estimate and keep a reserve for price changes. Also check setbacks and plot coverage rules with your local body; the permit process is explained on the Kerala Local Self Government Department website.
One more tip: plan the study area’s furniture and wiring at the drawing stage itself. Decide where the desk, shelves and printer will go, and add network and charging points there. This avoids messy extension cords later and makes the space ready to use from day one.
Who Is This Home For?
This plan suits a family where one or more members work or study from home and who often host guests. It works best on a medium to large plot. For similar homes, see this house with study hall in 2200 sq ft or this colonial style house in 2844 sq ft, also by Creo Homes.
