DESIGN REQUIREMENTS :


The basic requirement for the project was to have a large living space with a separate dining area. A sculptural stair for other floor access was initially recommended from the landowner. The modern and simple look for the project was his primary requirement. Vehicle access was not recommended by the landowner. So, Pedistrarian entry was considered as the primary access to the site.
