When a tiled roof doubles up as a gallery space at Nisarga Art hub, a community residency in Angamaly

Overlooking a vast paddy field in Kerala’s Angamaly town is a property that has been causing a flutter on social media. This traditional Kerala-style house with a sloping tiled roof is also a community residency where musicians and artistes can get together for performances and jamming sessions. The intimate performance space that can accommodate 60 to 70 people hosted its first “moonlight concert” and a dhrupad workshop, and is set to host a series of unique performances. “We, as a family, believe in sitting on the floor and we wanted to implement a ‘no-couch’ approach in the living area,” he adds. Nisarga’s walls are built using his company’s patented Shuttered Debris Wall Technique, which uses construction debris collected from places around the site and soil from the site.
