Gratitude is quintessential Pondicherry. It encapsulates all the best features of French Colonial architecture. The house has been restored in collaboration with INTACH who are specialized in restoring and maintaining heritage sites across India. The beams under the restored balcony continue inside and hold up the first floor. The metal brackets, in turn, hold up the beams of the balcony. This is a very sensitive example of traditional architecture and is the right shade of the Pondicherry yellow!

The best part of the Industrial visit to Pondicherry

These are some of our chosen favorites that really give us house envy! Unfortunately, while buildings have been listed as heritage in terms of archaeological and historical importance, there is a lack of proper maintenance and many are torn down completely. The collapse of the ‘Marie’ on the beach road was a wake-up call for many.

On this industrial visit to Pondicherry, you’ll get to experience the best architecture. You’ll be visiting sites and get to interact with the top architects in town. Also all the lectures and workshops you attend you’ll be given certifications for those.

We hope we have shone a light on the unique blend of European and Tamil architecture, which makes this quaint town so special. So the next time you’re here, hop on a bicycle or walk around the bougainvillea lined streets, to take an architectural tour of Pondicherry and get transported into a different time in history.
