A contemporary volume of frames which nestles an abode with tweets and chirps. Surrounded in a bustling urban luggage, this 7000 sq.ft. imprint of residence cultivates harmony & grandeur. Since the whole structure opens the flaps of frames to an evident temple, the neutral facade blends in to respect the Shikhara.
