The design follows a neo-

traditional style of architecture

as a response to the tropical

climate of the site.

The overall effect of the project

achieved through the use of

natural light, earthy materials,

soothing colors, and the

seamless incorporation of

tropical surroundings.

The interiors follow a primary color scheme with a

majority of walls painted with a pastel shade of
blue and yellow. The natural connection is
highlighted through the use of wood in furnitures
such as sofas, coffee tables, and rattan benches.
The gray color of the exposed concrete gives it a
modern and contemporary look.
In keeping with the idea of combining indoor and
outdoor, the interior palette also uses plants
extensively throughout the house.

Natural lighting
To increase the intake of natural light,
full-length windows have been used in
most spaces in the bungalow, along
with porous walls.

Artificial lighting
In the sitout area, warm white
hanging lights have been used to give
a moody and somber feel to the
outdoor space.
In indoors, white surface and profile
lights have been used to uniformly
illuminate the wooden furniture and
the bright walls of various colors.
