2. Rhythm of the House
The internal planning of each home is a Rhythm from the Inner to the Outer. Private spaces such as bedrooms and washrooms are towards the rear end of the house. Semi - private spaces like Kitchen and Dining form the centre. Public spaces like Living room are towards the front. And the crowning glory - Balconies form the outermost edge, the much coveted connection with the greenery.
3. The Balcony
In the words of one of our mentors Architect Masud Taj :
" The balcony is a dialogue between ground and sky. When you lean out of the balcony, you wish to go beyond. When you lean out, the balcony is dreaming you. Because where balconies end, a soaring begins that no parapets can curtail.... These balconies are like words left hanging in the air. "
