The obstacles faced by Techno Architecture Inc. while building this bungalow were also representative of the serious roadblocks that all urban constructions in present day Bengaluru face. The available space was small, a 650 sq. ft. stretch near a pre existing 3-storey structure. The site also faced a 6 metre wide road and was part of a claustrophobic residential cluster, making lighting design a massively difficult task. A highly-disciplined minimization of all forms thus became architect Kishan Shetty‘s design priority. The entire 3-storey structure was realized in steel with a corrugated deck sheet roof and a building skin that was finished in 4-inch solid block masonry. The ground floor became the car park and an office, while all the common/public areas populate the first floor; as floors above contain private rooms. Even in these compact conditions, the design team didn\'t let go of their trademark style. Their scheme included a small reflective pool, a lap pool above the roof of the living room with toughened glass partitions between toilets and bedrooms - a clever idea to save space and invite more natural light.
