From the architect. Situated in a green avenue of KC Layout, Mysore. The house is set in the NW quadrant of a 8000sqft site, leaving a considerable Lung Space for fruit trees, vegetable garden and landscape.

Floor Plan

Entrance of the house is through a generous verandah, a series of louvered teak wood doors open into an Internal Courtyard around which a succession of spaces are arranged.
