Studio Terratects nestles earthy home into Keralan forest

Indian practice Studio Terratects has completed Urul, a house on a forested site in Kerala, India, which features a mud-plastered interior.

Designed for a client engaged in environmentalism, the home in Wayanad has an earthy material palette intended to evoke nature as much as possible.

Studio Terratects has also celebrated local craftsmanship and "artisanal techniques" throughout to help connect Urul to its context.
