Drag to compare. Sample view made by the Hocus team; the renders are untouched.

The same modern house from G02, moved to a lane in Kochi. Exposed laterite and teak louvres keep it Kerala; white plaster and Kota paving keep it current. The compound walls and neighbours do the rest.

  1. Where "A residential lane in Kochi, coconut palms and neighbouring houses behind compound walls"
  2. Materials "White plaster, an exposed laterite feature wall, teak louvres, grey Kota stone paving; coconut palms, heliconia"
  3. People blank
  4. Light Golden hour

Tip: one local material on a feature wall reads more Kerala than five on every surface.
