Adding on...

Few changes very minor but aesthetically appealing changes have been done to the afore mentioned plan,

Attaching draft 3D elevation, it's not final yet..

Planning to use stonelam instead of HPL for facade.. and plan to use lots of MS Jali CNC cut along with terracota ...

Sump is of 12500 litres, Lift is of Usha make ,

Hi, May i ask what is your plan for Courtyard in the plan you shared. I am in process of construction and i have some place of around 10*10 left for courtyard.

I was thinking of a indoor water cascade with stone cladding as background and some pots /plants around and some seating area.

Just wanted to get some ideas if you have done..
