The Architecture of Memory
Set within Kochi’s historic Jewish quarter, these homes belong to a street shaped by centuries of movement, trade, and community.
Ezekiel House and A.B. Salem House stand as quiet keepers of the Kochi diaspora’s narrative. Built by the families who originally settled around the Paradesi Synagogue, these walls have watched the quarter shift and evolve over the centuries.
It is a space where the cultural weight of the neighborhood is felt in the everyday – from the morning light in the courtyard to the evening shadows on the lane.
The residences offer a way to experience the neighbourhood as it continues to live and change.
