The site is a corner plot with roads on northern and eastern edge. Considering the vastu principles the house is designed with east entrance, standing on a compact and blockish 205 sq.m. plot size.
The exterior incorporates proper ventilation of breeze and sunlight. The stacked concept is intensified by pocket terraces and symmetrical elevation. While the dark grey grounds the form and the whiteness adds buoyancy, the red bricks and clay jail blocks infuses vibrancy in the overall architectural expression. The existing trees around the plot played a vital role with its shadows.

This turns the first floor space into a comfortable, warm abode. On the second floor there are two bedrooms with de-stress glass roof balconies and a screening room.
The entrance has wood tone to match the exterior and used as transition from exterior to interiors. The living dinning form a happy welcome. The veneer from paneling to ceiling adding warmth and color through its natural wooden texture and pattern.
