The longish homes consisted of the mudhal kattu (receiving quarters), irandaam kattu (living quarters), moondram kattu (kitchen and backyard) and so on. Most houses had an open to sky space in the centre called the mitham, large platforms lining the outside of the house called the thinnai and a private well in the backyard.

what kind of brickwork is used while building agraharam style houses

The Brick work using lime mortar is used for constructing agraharam type of houses. This is one of the oldest known type of mortar, dating back to 4th century B.C. and widely used in Ancient Rome and Greece, when it largely replaced the clay and gypsum mortars common to Ancient Egyptian construction. Despite its enduring utility over many centuries, lime mortar’s effectiveness as a building material has not been well understood; time honored practices were based on tradition, folklore and trade knowledge, indicated by the vast number of old buildings that remain standing. Only during the last few decades has empirical testing provided a scientific understanding of its remarkable durability. Traditional buildings built using lime mortar move and absorb moisture, which prevents the masonry from cracking. Also by using lime mortar expansion
joints can be avoided. Clay bricks of size 6 3/4” x 4 1/4” x 2” are used for the construction of foundation and superstructure.

how does foundation prepared for agraharam style houses

Foundation is a stepped footing style under all load bearing walls. with variable depth and width of the footing based on requirement. No steel is used in the foundation of super structure.All peripheral walls and most inner walls are built with clay bricks and lime mortar for a thickness of about 1’6” and/or 1’1.5” thickness. Both brick and lime are permeable materials that allow air to pass through them. This helps in maintaining the thermal comfort of the buildings’ occupants.

how roof is prepared for agraharam houses

Generally Rosewood beams are first placed upon opposite walls across the width of the room, 450mm to 600mm apart. High density and high strength clay bricks, made to special thin size measuring 25mm x 75mm x 150mm, are used. Properly mixed and matured lime mortar is used for bonding the flat tiles that are placed at an angle of 45 degrees to the wall, or diagonally across the room width. These terrace tiles, placed on the edge, ensured tensile strength. The roof is cured for a minimum of one week to achieve early setting. Thereafter, a 75mm thick layer of broken bricks or brick bats would be laid where nearly half the volume would be made up of lime mortar, three parts brick, one part gravel and one part sand. This layer provided the compressive strength and load bearing capacity to the roof. This layer needs to be well compacted, cured and levelled. The final layer would depend upon the slab being an intermediate one or the final roof. If intermediate, a floor finish like red oxide or lime mortar would be applied and if final, there would be courses of 50mm thick flat weather-proof tiles topped by thick mortar to slope of 1 in 30. The soffit of the sloping roof has rose wood purlins, rafters and 8” x 8” pressed clay tiles The rafters are seated on the top of a rose wood beam which in turn rests on rose wood circular columns. The tiles are held firmly in place by the self-weight of a tile and the downward pressure exerted by the tile at the top. The bottom most pan tile is fixed to the pressed clay tile using lime mortar.
