Spread over an acre of land is the house which has a modern tropical design amalgamated with traditional architecture.
The Design accommodates the brief of the Family which was to create distinctive guest and family spaces. This clearly leads to the formation of two blocks a guest and family.
Views of the minimalistic horticulture combining both hard and soft paving around the house from every room is another dimension added to the design. Rooms are well lit and aerated with large open spaces around.
The subtle slope of the traditional styled Mangalore tile roof makes the entrance verandah and inner spaces well proportioned in terms of height. The connecting semi-private living is a cozy space with doorways leading into the landscape on either side.
On entering the family block through the connecting semi-private living, one is welcomed by a large living and dining.
The linear arrangement of spaces continues with the placing of the staircase followed by 2 bedrooms on one side and a kitchen and other utility spaces on the opposite end. The linearity in the arrangement of spaces brings in natural illumination and ventilation.
