Modern Residence With Ethnic-Contemporary Interiors | Jihan Associates

Situated in Godhra this corner semi-rectangular plot was evolved into a beautiful three-storied bungalow for a family of six. This house is a classic combination of clean modern exteriors gelling with ethnic and contemporary interiors. The client wanted a home that is spacious, full of light, and one that balances beauty and functionality. The basic requirement included a living room, kitchen, dining area, pooja room, four bedrooms, family seating, and a home theatre. We translated the vision into more than an aesthetic motif; a finished home conveys integrity and authenticity.
