Cliff House, Official residence in Thiruvananthapuram, India

Cliff House occupies a 15,000-square-foot area with traditional Kerala architecture features, including sloped roofs and east-facing landscaped gardens.

The building started construction in 1939 and was completed in 1942 as the official residence for the Devaswom Commissioner during Travancore rule.

The residence transformed into the Chief Minister's official dwelling in 1956, marking Kerala's transition from monarchy to democratic governance.

The property contains dedicated spaces for administrative functions, private quarters, and security personnel while maintaining separate access points for official visitors.

The compound integrates hydroponics systems and maintains a specialized cattle shed within its grounds for agricultural sustainability initiatives.
