materials , ample lighting and indoor landscape are some key features of this house.
Bungalow in Kashmir
This Bungalow has a very narrow frontage . The plot was linear and narrow in width. The challenge was to create spaces which could still connect to outdoor landscape . Pockets of green spaces have been created to give an inside outside connection throughout the house . A study model was made for the spatial understanding using Lego blocks and our clients absolutely loved the design
