Four Degree North | Compact Home, Kannur

Overview

A compact home built around raw textures, brick panels, and shaded openings.

This compact residence in Kannur, Kerala, challenges the need for large spatial footprints. Built with a focus on local exposed brick panels and deep concrete eaves, the design manages solar heat gain while creating bright, ventilated rooms.

Our documentation team captured the architectural textures and spatial transitions across the day, focusing on the dialogue between the raw bricks and the tropical light.
