Bungalow
at Mahabaleshwar
The house is built in a natural clearing
on a terraced – forested site in the mountainous terrain
of Mahableshwar. The fabulous view of the Krishna valley
and the torrential rainfall of the area were two predominant
design concerns. Load bearing brick and laterite walls hold
the M.S. trussed roof in place. One wall of the staircase
is directed to the axis of the Krishna valley. Through the
constantly changing light, which is experienced due to the
skylights, the house retains a calming and quiet ambience.
