FMDS | Trivandrum Apartment

FMDS | Trivandrum Apartment

In Trivandrum, FMDS has transformed a high-rise apartment into a warm, art-filled home rooted in Kerala’s material memory.

A home is most meaningful when it offers a quiet return to the familiar — a space layered with comfort, memory and traces of where we come from. Such was the idea behind this 2,080-square-foot home in Trivandrum, India, where designer Faisal Manzur of FMDS created an interior that reflects the client’s deep connection to his South Indian heritage while reinterpreting traditional materials and forms for contemporary living.

The home is set within a high-rise in old Trivandrum and the apartment called for a careful balance between rootedness and modernity. The brief also involved reworking the original three-bedroom layout into a generous two-bedroom home, to make the spaces feel more open, comfortable and attuned to the life of its single occupant. The layout opens with a generous foyer and uses the balconies as flexible extensions of the interiors, allowing the living areas to feel larger and more connected to the outdoors.

“The client’s roots are in Kerala, so I wanted the apartment to evoke the feeling of an old family home, with oxide flooring, lime-washed walls and terracotta roofing, all of which are traditional to the homes in the region,” says Manzur. To soften the visual weight of the exposed concrete walls, the designer introduced ceiling rafters that recall the rhythm of traditional timber mullions.
