This 3-BHK bungalow designed by P&D Associates stands in a quiet locality of Bharuch, Gujarat. Although it was a challenge to accommodate the dining, family, living and puja room in the given footprint, the architect’s intelligent utilization of space makes the house look expansive and luxurious. Responding to the client’s spiritual connection, the architect has incorporated soothing elements in the interiors and exteriors of the house.
