The ground level has the formal living area, pooja room, kitchen and dining area along with a bedroom. The next floor has two bed rooms connected by a common space. The third floor has another bedroom and a terrace space that is designed to serve as an area for the family members to unwind over music or a book after a long day.

Site context is factored during the design phase to ensure the built form blends harmoniously with the external surroundings.  The bold façade design is achieved with the massing technique. The wall fenestration for the balcony is highlighted using the two-tone colour palette. This adds style and character to the built form. The simplistic aspect of the design continues in the material and the colour palette chosen for the house.

Detailing like the material choice for the façade design, the mild steel frame with concrete and wood finish used in the gate, car park covered with glass and MS framework elevates the overall look of the project.
