Located in Vizianagaram, the Kavalalu (The Twins) project represents a unique approach to residential design. With two adjacent plots measuring 22x60 feet each, the client—a builder—wanted to create duplex villas with a 2BHK to 3BHK configuration for resale. The challenge? Ensuring both villas not only mirrored each other in appearance but also adhered to vastu principles, all while maintaining a cost-effective approach to materials.

The design process presented several challenges, particularly in planning the layout to accommodate individual villas with car parking, staircases, and ample living space. The need for symmetry across both plots was critical, making the design process both complex and rewarding.

We carefully blended traditional elements, such as clay and ethanol materials, with modern architectural features to create a visually appealing design that would attract potential buyers. This combination of old and new was further enhanced with the use of brick jallies and other vernacular, cost-friendly materials. By keeping the construction budget in mind, we were able to deliver a design that was both aesthetically pleasing and economically viable for the builder.

The final result was a set of villas that not only reflected the client’s vision but also satisfied his goal of maintaining affordability while offering contemporary living spaces. The client was thrilled with the outcome, especially the similar elevations of both plots, which led us to name the project Kavalalu, or “The Twins,” symbolizing the harmony and symmetry of the design.
