The structure
Located amidst breathtaking scenery, this house has been designed to be situated on a hilltop terrace overlooking the Golden coast and the deep blue sea. There is a shaded canopy right outside the front entrance that accommodates a seating area. On the outside, lies a well-manicured lawn with potted trough containers nearby. The two storey abode also has a spacious terrace. On the ground level, at the backside of the house, there is a green wall that helps in keeping the temperature down. Also, there is a shelter right behind the house. Storage space inside the house has been chalked out cleverly by building shelves and racks near the stairways.
The clean straight lines, neutral shades and copious vegetation around the house render it a fresh and contemporary look.
