The founders of Nirvana Films, a production house in Bangalore, Sneha Iype and Prakash Verma have a second home in Kochi, about a three-hour drive from their Bangalore residence.


The couple bought this house from the previous owner Ashok Koshy, a photographer whose work pays homage to the artistic history of India. Their vision for this vacation home included a spacious courtyard and direct views of the backwaters. The entire space exudes an old-world charm while seamlessly integrating modern amenities essential for a functional house.

    I'm from Punjab, living in Australia last 20 years. Never been to Kerala but there's something about it that draws me in. Will settle in Kerala when and if.

    Watching this it felt like home. Ms. Iype & Mr. Verma's aesthetics transcend the films they make. The architect should be applauded for such a beautiful and conscientious approach towards building a home.

    Surreal…! Just wish the paints inside the home were subtle and light.. makes the indoors really dark.
