three bedrooms and two bathrooms for the family of four.

SUNLIGHT:-
• “Drawers” is connected by elongated hallway going throughout the entire length of the
project, decorated by refreshing line of Bridal Veil Creepers. This method of allocating
green zone as a natural blind reducing the intense tropical sunlight as well as generate
intriguing patterns which change as the sun moves during the day.
• The sunlight passing through, cascading shadow onto the floor forming captivating
views. The boundary between the interior and exterior is being diminished, letting man
sense the fluctuations of nature. The entire house acts as a living body, with a mission
to connect man with man and man with nature.
