One team, drawing to handover

MEC Life Developers & Interiors is a Kochi practice with a decade of architectural consultancy and contracting behind it. We design the homes we develop, build them, and fit them out, so one team carries a project from the first drawing to the day the keys are handed over.

Terra Firma is the current project: fifteen 3 BHK homes on a single plot in Kalamassery, with covered parking on the ground floor and five homes on each of the three floors above. Every construction is detailed for perfection and class, and every home is provisioned for the way it will be lived in.

Three types, one bedroom count

Floor plan of Type A: living, dining, kitchen with work area, three bedrooms, three toilets and two balconies. Type B mirrors it.

Type A and B, 1,140 sq ft

Four of the five homes on every floor. Living and dining open into one another, the kitchen sits behind with a separate work area, and two of the three bedrooms open onto private balconies. Type B mirrors this layout.
