Design & Color Awards - 2019
This is a four-bedroom house sitting on a twenty perch land using only a half for the house and leaving the rest as the garden. Location is a decent neighborhood with walking distance to the main road. The main requirement of the client was to design a contemporary home to relax and live peacefully. Being a religious Buddhist, he purposely selected land right next to a temple and wanted the Architect to open the house towards the temple. The living room and the master bedroom were located facing the temple to achieve this requirement.
