White House

The White House is a single-storey building on the Akashara Vidhyasaramam School campus at Kondur, Cuddalore, set among trees on open green land.

Its walls are finished in a hand-textured white plaster that keeps the interior cool and gives the building its name. A clay-tile roof sits on exposed rafters painted pale blue, left visible inside to create high, airy ceilings.

Blue-framed windows with softly rounded reveals frame views of the campus, small tiled sunshades protect them from rain and sun, a column-supported verandah wraps one side, and the floors are finished in smooth cement.
