Each space has a view to garden . And we planned different philosophy to experience the garden from different places. The experience of garden is like a poetry.  At entry veranda the garden feel is different , than you see garden from arrival room  few steps from veranda. Than you enter to passage and out good grader enters inside the house, as one enters informal living and gets a complete view of summer garden from huge  corner window .  Opposite to that on south side one proceeds through passage and garden on both side , reaches in glass pavilion which is a family room completely surrounded by tall palms tropical plants and huge and dense tree plantation on south wall of the plot.
