The article featured in Design Today showcases the Wayanad vacation house, a timber structure resting among the lush green lands and hills of Wayanad. The eco-friendly residential project is one of Dr Benny Kuriakose’s favourite works. Awestruck by the site, Benny Kuriakose ensured that the design of the vacation house in Wayanad would optimize the remarkable views that the surrounding landscapes offered. A coffee estate situated on a steep slope, the site accommodated a two-bedroom house to serve as a vacation home for his client residing in the neighbouring district of Kozhikode.
