The Sit-Out with Entrance Stairs and Charupadi

Fun Fact: The Charupadi is a quintessential element of traditional Kerala house designs, known for its unique blend of aesthetics and functionality. Often referred to as Sopanam in the local language, the term originates from the Sanskrit word Sopana, meaning "platform."

In earlier days, the Charupadi served as a welcoming space for gathering with friends and family. This thoughtfully designed seating area offers both privacy for the household and an open invitation to the public. As a defining feature of Kerala sit-out designs, the Charupadi combines timeless architectural elegance with a warm sense of community.
