We planned the 4000 sq.ft. villa around the existing ficus and jackfruit trees, some walls had to be skewed at an angle, some curved. Not one tree was disturbed, instead we incorporated them into our design, and today they adorn the house, almost like an ornament. The inside of the house is light and breezy, a large skylight captures the daylight and fills the double height central court with such positive energy, that even a dozen tube lights will not achieve. Wood saved from the old bungalow was used for flooring and staircase. Solar panels and rain water harvesting help save energy.
