Located in a sloped terrain surrounded by tea plantations, the house at coonoor is a like a single slab protruding out from the landscape supported by four structural cores on it’s four sides. At the center of the house the kitchen cooktop and dining are located as a space for the family to socialise. A circular operable skylight also occupies the center. The four structural cores also houses the servant spaces such as the bathrooms, wardrobes, storage, staircase and service ducts. This leaves the served spaces (bedrooms and living) to be occupied on the four corners which provides panoramic views of the lamdscape. The roof on the exterior is covered in green, making the house blend into the landscape when viewed from higher ground.
