The living, dining, kitchen, work area, bedroom and attached bathrooms find space in the ground floor. Though the elevation gives the impression of sloped concrete roofs, in reality, the roofs have not been concreted. Instead, truff roofing sheets have been used for roof. Double roofs sloping down in an angle of 45 degrees were not easily concretable designs. Besides, the cost would escalate. Hence, roofing sheets were substituted in view of the practical difficulties. The floor below has been done in the box structure design, with sloping styles for the floor above.
The living, dining, kitchen, work area, bedroom and attached bathrooms find space in the ground floor. Custom-made furniture peps up the living room. Of the four bedrooms, three are down, and one up. A family living space up is where friends and family gather for some quality time. The flooring has been done up in granite and vitrified tiles.
The courtyard, finished in plywood box and covered with coir, highlights the living ambiance.The courtyard, finished in plywood box and covered with coir, highlights the living ambiance.
