A Kerala-Style Retreat Woven with Memory and Meaning

​

Nestled in quietude, House of Tales is more than just a weekend escape — it’s a soulful Kerala-style retreat where time seems to linger. Rooted in tradition and layered with personal history, the home unfolds like a well-loved book: each room, an intimate chapter; each object, a keeper of stories.

Curated with a collector’s eye and a deep respect for craftsmanship, the space is a living archive of vintage finds, heirlooms, and age-worn treasures — from intricately carved wooden pillars to time-smoothed brass artefacts. Together, they form a tapestry of nostalgia and cultural memory, transforming the home into a sanctuary of storytelling.

Here, design is less about aesthetics and more about emotion — a quiet celebration of the past, preserved and reimagined for the present.
