The main concept for this project is to design two unified houses. Each house contains a living room, a drawing room, a dining cum ladies room with curved walls, a guest bedroom, a master bedroom, a Children’s bedroom, 2 bedrooms and a kitchen with store and utility area.
The most interesting feature of the house is the centrally located circular courtyard which unified the houses with curved walls and a water pond. The beautifully designed landscape with a water cascade and a gazebo add beauty to the house.
The courtyard is enclosed by curved glass walls which helps a person to see the courtyard from inside both the houses. But from the courtyard, a person cannot see inside house. A small wading swimming pool is provided in the courtyard. The courtyard is covered by a dome atop.
