ANURA
A Home That Follows Time
Set in Trichy, Anura is the sensitive renovation of a 40-year-old family home—an exercise not in erasure, but in continuity. The client’s brief was deeply personal: to modernise the house while retaining its soul, as it was the home his parents had built. Rather than overwrite memory with novelty, the design sought to carry the past forward, allowing the home to evolve without losing its emotional anchor.
The name Anura translates to “that which follows” or “one who comes after”—a fitting metaphor for a house that honours what came before while quietly adapting to present-day living. The project embraces the idea of grace through time, where patina, wear, and imperfection are celebrated rather than concealed.
