Keeping the garden open
The pavilion and pool occupy one side of the site. A paved route follows the garden perimeter and connects the entrance to the covered sitting space, leaving the central garden largely open.
The design
Shelter at the edge, garden at the centre.
A practical change in construction
The design initially explored bamboo framing with a Mangalore-tile roof. The client subsequently chose RCC construction because it was more convenient to execute. The archived roof drawings record the earlier proposal.
A more open revised scheme
The 4 September concept shows repeated smaller openings and a circular pond. The 20 September revision uses wider openings, furnished sitting space and a rectangular pool. The revised drawings are presented here as a design stage.
Drawings that explain the work
The original dimensions and red annotations are retained here to show how the layout, levels and construction intent were communicated. These September drawings document design development; the bamboo-and-tile roof notes predate the change to RCC.
