# Kerala Style Wooden Cottage

Where Traditional Architecture Meets Natural Wellness

Kerala-style wooden cottages are inspired by the rich architectural heritage of Kerala, India, and are known for their harmony with nature, exquisite craftsmanship, and focus on Ayurvedic principles of living. These cottages are typically made using locally sourced medicinal woods and follow Vastu and eco-conscious design elements.
