Errakota House - ‘Erra’ in telugu means ‘red’ and ‘kota’ meaning ‘fort’ is a metaphor for ‘Red fort’ that will withstand the test of time, even as the commercial spaces arounf it have changed and evolved. A unique combination of residential and commercial spaces in one building, the residential space built with terracotta bricks creates a distinct contrast with the ever changing commercial spaces.
This mixed-use building is the combination of commercial and residential spaces which is a unique and attractive feature of this structure. The exposed brick of the residential area creates a striking contrast against the commercial part of the building. Time passes, but the beauty of this mixed use architecture remains.
It is a reminder of the timelessness of the architecture of our past.
