Designed for a family which is often travelling on work to different countries. Site size 1200 square feet with a ten year old conventional house on it. Road in front is only about 25 feet wide. Remodelling of the existing ground floor and addition of two upper floors. Worked around a central covered court which is the heart of the house.This court doubles up as an extended living or dining space as the need arises or simply just a lounge space for relaxation. The staircase is a part of the design elements. A large multipurpose space on the upper level which works as a family space,study or a family gathering space as when the requirement arises. A terrace garden with a small covered area for small get togethers.The rear side of the terrace houses the utilities. Overall an interesting compact inward looking house, a nice place to get in and be soaked in one's own world.
