highlight of the brief given by the client was to keep the design simple and easy – to – maintain. a 4’ tall metallic statue of lord buddha belonging to him had to be the focal point of the entire space and numerous water supply pipes running over the parapet walls were to be hidden without hampering their functionality. the profile of the terrace along with the expectations/ guidelines put forth by mr. parekh was instrumental in materializing the core design theme. the central wall virtually dividing the terrace into two parts would host the buddha statue and the two halves on either sides of it would be treated as a wet area and a dry area. in other words, the trajectory of the buddha wall would act as a threshold anchoring one half to the other. on the whole, the design tries to create a simple but dynamic space using straight and minimum number of lines. the colour scheme is modest and the number of color’s is kept to the minimum; fluorescence of the upholstery and the display shelf enrich the entire experience.
