The pattern is more pronounced at the top, allowing the landscape to enhance the lower portion visually. The subtle pop of colors and the materials used in the construction, such as kota and Kadapa stones, reflect a minimalist aesthetic and blend seamlessly with the natural environment.

Bedrooms

Each bedroom is self-contained and can be accessed without compromising the privacy of other areas. Moreover, they also face the landscape, creating a sense of spaciousness and grandeur; the high ceilings further enhance that.

Additionally, these high ceilings are achieved through sloped roof profiles, each unique, opening up to the sky but unified by a flat roof over the corridors.
