s one enters the house, the built form reveals its framed facade closely. This concept of frames is introduced with intent to maintain the privacy of the user. The planning allows for integrating a linear parking area. Since the house shares a common wall with an adjoining bungalow on the south, a beautiful garden has been provided in the north.

The ground floor is an exciting and cozy space with prudent openings. The first frame marks a refreshing entry to the garden as well as to the house with double height volume, with fresh views of the garden & lots of natural light and air. One lands into a vestibule that gives a glimpse of the spaces leads to the drawing room. The drawing room opens to the views of the garden and has a swift connection and a nature inspiration theme. The dining and kitchen space are placed opposite to each yet allows significant visual connections with the main entry and drawing room as well.

What I love most about this house, is a stunning family sitting with a huge void space above connecting the ground floor to the highest ceiling of the house. With an artificial vertical garden in its backdrop, this space becomes even more appealing and colorful. This volume creates a drama of light and shadows through-out the day across the interiors with the triple height window.
