The Quiet House — Minimalist Home, Thillai Nagar, Tiruchirappalli

Three bedrooms, four materials and an uninterrupted view of the sky.

The Quiet House is an exercise in reduction: exposed concrete, white plaster, oak and stone, arranged around a single internal garden. Storage is built into every wall so the rooms stay empty and still.

02 — The architecture

The Quiet House — Reduced to the essential

Service spaces are pushed to a thick perimeter wall, leaving the centre of the house completely open.

Clerestory windows bring in soft north light and keep the walls free for art.

Structure: Load-bearing walls with RCC slab
Finishes: Fair-faced concrete, lime plaster
Storage: Full-height flush joinery
Light: North clerestories, skylit garden
