designer's own words:
positioned at the foothills of the western ghats on a plateau, is the 'two bay house' by american and indian firm RMA architects.
a gravel forecourt welcomes inhabitants, leading towards a garden of raised linear planters and elevated patio.
the residence is divided into two bays, placing the private and common spaces on opposing sides of the site. a lap pool spans the length,
creating a distinct separation of zones with the reservoir of water serving to cool the interior. with each half only one one room in width,
the breezes which pass to the open courtyard and pool are humidified across the surface.
