Kalam By Paddy House

Yet every abandoned structure carries hidden stories waiting to be reimagined. A century-old granary, left unused for decades, has now been thoughtfully transformed into a boutique farmhouse through architectural ingenuity and carefully chosen materials.

A veranda and bathroom have been added to the existing structure while preserving its original character.

Our vision was not to demolish and replace, but to revive — to transform what already existed into something purposeful, sustainable, culturally rooted, and community-driven.

The bathroom frames picturesque paddy views, with a bathtub positioned to soak in the scenery. Every space has been crafted for comfort, while remaining adaptable to the rhythms of village life.

Existing greenery has been retained to provide natural cooling, blending the built environment seamlessly with the landscape.

Inside, warm and cozy tones create a welcoming contrast for guests. The bathrooms feature rustic color palettes with subtle red accents that add depth and character.

A bathtub overlooking the fields and a screened opening at the top allow light and fresh air to flow in naturally.

The veranda features columns salvaged from a dismantled local home, carrying with them nostalgia and stories of the past.

A stone pillar sourced from a nearby dismantled temple now supports and shapes the outdoor space. The main door — restored from the original structure — proudly carries forward its legacy.

Old furniture and reclaimed wood were sourced both locally and from the existing structure, reducing waste while enriching the space with character and warmth.

Beyond walls and roofs, this project created employment for local craftsmen, empowered farmers, and encouraged neighboring landowners to rediscover value in their land.

This is more than a building. It is a story of revival — of materials, of community, and of hope.
