Trails of adobe_The Parametric Charm of Burnt Mud Brick Walls in Calicut, Kerala

Nestled in the vibrant city of Calicut, Kerala, our office stands as a testament to the fusion of tradition and modern design. One of the standout features of our workspace is the 10-meter-long parametric wall made entirely of burnt mud bricks. This innovative design not only serves as a functional facade but also integrates seamlessly with the rich cultural and architectural heritage of the region.

The wall, stretching along the exterior of our office veranda, is a marriage of two types of locally sourced bricks: hollow bricks and solid bricks. The interplay of these bricks creates a captivating visual dynamic. The burnt mud bricks, sourced locally, not only pay homage to traditional construction methods but also add a rustic charm to the overall aesthetic.

Adjacent to the parametric wall is our carefully designed veranda space, exuding warmth and earthy tones. The veranda floor, adorned with brown tiles, complements the burnt mud brick wall, creating a harmonious blend of textures and colors. The veranda ceiling, crafted from terracotta tiles, adds a touch of continuity, making the space feel like a seamless extension of the office.
