It is a project of Madras Craft Foundation, an NGO was opened to the public on December 14, 1996 and is located overlooking the Bay of Bengal, at Muttukadu, near Chennai. The authentic homes in a regional vernacular style are purchased, taken down, transported and reconstructed by artisans (Stapathis) of the regions from where the houses came. Its insignia has a traditional ‘kolam’ made using a single intersecting line filled with four dots in brown colour on an orange square. Its name is written on top and its slogan is written below the kolam. The four triangles formed by the motif represent each of the four States of Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Karnataka. The colour orange symbolises energy, vitality, creativity, inspiration, joy and happiness and the colour brown symbolises earthiness, simplicity, stability, humility, warmth, reliability, endurance, timelessness and tradition.
