Kerala’s Architecture Is Famous For Its South Indian Architectural Style.

The main foundation for this architectural style is Thachu Shastra or carpentry science, and Vastu Shastra or architecture and building. A residence constructed in this style is distinguished in its long steep rooftops in plain circular, square or rectangular forms, its gable window, its twin columns and its large courtyard. Because the environment matches native materials like rock, wood and clay, their use is crucial for the success of the structure. The traditional Kerela house (4-block structures), ettukkettus or pathinarukkettus (10-block structures) are combined depending on the size of the site and the wealth of the owner (16-block structures).

Some of its residential design features are more closely explored here.
