NL Pavilion

Brief

An exhibition pavilion in Bangalore, 2026: the orange NL Netherlands canopy and its “Let’s Connect” welcome counter, with stands for exhibitors including Anthura and Florance Flora.

A traditional Kerala home built around a central nadumuttam — the open courtyard that draws light and air through the whole plan. Clay-tiled roofs, a colonnaded verandah and carved teak define the exterior; inside, the courtyard anchors the living spaces, with the pooja room and swing set directly off it.

Approach

Warm timber, cane chairs and white ribbed planters keep the stands calm, so the flowers carry the colour — anthuriums massed into living walls, orchids at eye level, and the Netherlands orange kept for the canopy and the NL letters.

Built in the nalukettu tradition and detailed throughout in seasoned teak — rafters, shuttered windows, coloured glass panels and the pooja mandapam. Athangudi and patterned cement tiles mark each threshold, so the floor itself tells you which room you have entered.
