Architectural Design Features

  • Nested Geometric Depth: Multi-tiered concentric wooden borders created inside every square module give a dramatic 3D visual illusion of height and depth.
  • Heritage Brass Inlays: Metallic brass rosettes/studs positioned at each grid intersection highlight the joinery and lend a royal touch reminiscent of antique Kerala temple doors and ceilings.
  • Modular Panel Grid System: Engineered into repeating square cassettes, offering flexibility for both full-ceiling installations or central feature island pendants.
  • Warm Lighting Synergy: Deeply grooved channels reflect indirect ambient lighting, changing tone gracefully throughout the day.

Craftsmanship 

Rooted in the ancient principles of Thachu Shastra (traditional Indian wood joinery and carpentry science), every panel is precision-crafted by master woodworkers.

  • Seasoned Timber: The wood undergoes meticulous kiln-drying to prevent warping, checking, or moisture absorption in humid climates.
  • Hand-Finished Detail: Each step-down molding is individually chamfered and hand-sanded to preserve the authentic grain texture of natural teak.
  • Artisanal Brass Details: Precision-fitted brass rosettes are polished and sealed with an anti-tarnish coating to retain their golden gleam over time.
