G GROUND FLOOR
On the ground floor, one enters the house through a porous yet well-covered verandah that overlooks the street.
It allows natural light which further seeps into the existing hall. The entry hall has a staircase at the shorter end that
leads to the first floor. As one makes their way further into the house, they are met with the light from the
overhead skylight and a glimpse of the garden. The living room trapped between the outer shared walls, takes
maximum advantage of the other two sides that are open, one looking into the existing hall through a window and
the other turning into a half wall overlooking the dining area and the garden beyond. The kitchen is located
opposite to the dining area and is bound by an external wall with a skylight on one side and is open to the garden
on the other side. The common garden is surrounded by the living room, the kitchen and the bedroom as it is
utilized for various activities throughout the day. It also plays a very important role in providing abundant light and
ventilation for the entire house. The bedroom, with its private toilet, has openings on opposite walls facilitating
cross ventilation and opens into a private garden.
