This bungalow exudes a timeless charm rooted in natural materials and serene spatial composition. At its heart lies a beautifully landscaped courtyard, open to the sky, that brings in an abundance of light and air, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and the outdoors.

A graceful Buddha statue forms the focal point of the courtyard — symbolizing tranquility and meditation — surrounded by lush tropical plants, pebbled beds, and carefully placed stone pathways that add rhythm to the composition.

The architectural language combines random rubble masonry walls with warm wooden elements, imparting both texture and warmth. The sloping red-tiled roof with exposed wooden beams enhances the rustic aesthetic while providing protection from monsoon rains, reminiscent of traditional hill architecture.

Large windows and open verandas blur the boundaries between inside and outside, letting natural light flood the interiors and offering framed views of the central court from every room. The use of earthy stone flooring, handcrafted wooden furniture, and natural finishes reinforces the connection to nature, evoking a sense of calm and retreat.

Overall, this bungalow embodies openness, balance, and harmony — a tranquil haven where architecture, landscape, and spirituality come together in a poetic blend of materials and light.
