Creating a strong exterior volume makes a bold statement, Allowing the residence to stand out among the neighboring forms.

The residence is planned in two levels: The ground floor and the first floor. Ground floor was planned with all the basic spaces of any house like the entrance foyer, living, dining, kitchen, service rooms and one Bedroom. but composed in a way to interact with each other.

Highlighting the introverted form. The first floor is composed with two bedrooms , common family space overlooking the living space with double height and a media room with extended guest bedroom which occupies the front part of the planning grid with a visible deck(verandah) that is highlighted on façade as one of the profile sections.

The second floor is half built with a play room and open terrace landscaped with yellow bamboo bushes along the edge of the parapet to create privacy and also to show the green layer on the façade. The Finishing materials that have been used for this house are minimal and elegant looking.

The flooring is mostly kept in beige colour to focus the look on the furniture and the wall details that have been finished with panels and textures with wood linings.

Lighting has played an major role in this house during the day by having enough cutouts & cross ventilation on the thick walls.

Parallel in the nights the lighting positions and types have become a back support to showcase the design elements and to create warmness inside the house.
