About the Book
This beautifully illustrated bilingual book (French/English) offers an extraordinary exploration of Chettiar houses, a distinctive architectural heritage of South India. These houses are notable for their unique synthesis of colonial motifs with traditional Indian design, showcasing an infinite variety of artistic interpretation while preserving age-old interior layouts tailored to family vocations.
Richly visual and meticulously documented, the book provides insights into the aesthetic and cultural significance of Chettiar architecture. It captures the delicate balance between tradition and adaptation, revealing how these homes functioned not only as living spaces but also as expressions of social, familial, and artistic identity.
A valuable resource for historians, architects, art enthusiasts, and cultural scholars, this edition preserves the legacy of Chettiar domestic architecture for future generations.
