These types of buildings are typically found in the Indian state of Kerala. The traditional architecture is typically a rectangular structure where four halls are joined together with a central courtyard open to the sky.

These types are very stylish and built with 4 halls in rectangular shape joined together making a courtyard in the center. All sides resembles the same entrance and the roofing used is old type.This home consists of 6 bedrooms which is vast enough for a big joint family.
