Tirukochi Residency: A Jewel of Kerala's Heritage, Restored by Inodes
Tirukochi Residency stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Kerala, a magnificent 150-year-old ancestral home that has witnessed the ebb and flow of history. Its traditional Kerala architecture exudes timeless beauty, and every corner of this heritage property tells a story. Inodes is proud to have had the privilege of restoring and renovating this historic gem, bringing it back to life while staying true to its roots.
Restoration: A Journey into the Past
The Tirukochi Residency restoration was no ordinary task. This heritage building, with its intricate wooden carvings, sloping tiled roofs, and rich historical value, is a window into the past—a place where the past meets the present. The challenge for Inodes was to restore the building without compromising its authenticity, ensuring that the historic character and charm remained intact.
Creating a Conceptual Design for Heritage Renovation
Our heritage specialists at Inodes carefully assessed the building’s historical components and their significance. The key to this process was understanding the levels of protection each element required, whether it be structural, decorative, or functional. After a detailed site analysis, including the use of cutting-edge technological equipment, we developed a restoration strategy that would preserve the property’s cultural value and align with the client’s goals.
Replacing the Irreplaceable: Preserving Originality with Innovation
At Inodes, we understand that the restoration process is not about simply replacing old materials with modern equivalents; it’s about ensuring that the original beauty and charm of the building are preserved. The goal was to replace the irreplaceable with materials and techniques that would not only enhance the building’s longevity but also maintain its authenticity.
