The house was designed as a square plan with a nine grid layout. The corner squares in the grid were enlarged to house the living spaces and the central grid got reduced to 2 meter bays to house the utilities and services. The roof was conceived as a large four pitched roof, sliced to a quarter and fitted on to this square plan. The result is a diagonal ridge with one corner raised making it possible to house all floor levels including the water tank under a single roof span. The living spaces are interconnected through double volumes and verandas within the house taking advantage of this roof form.
