The Ideal Home and Garden August 2019 | 101
House Of The Month
The spahasit’sown
personal garden,butif one
requires privacy then there
are motorised blinds. The
massage table and flooring
were created inhouse (on
site) with restored wood.The spa
to music, heating, cooling and
the intercom. Mood lighting,
reading lights, essential oil
burners, Mashals (fire torches),
tea candle holder, lanterns in
the trees... every detail has
been looked into. Certain water
bodies have been created just
for the sound effects as it helps
to relax while meditating, etc.
All materials used are either
green, sustainable or materials
that blend beautifully with the
exteriors. The most important
element of the house is the zinc
roof - one of those materials that
can last for over a hundred year
and does not catch rust. All the
wood used is reusable. Mostly
Indian stones have been used.
Simple, white rough plaster walls
and paints with less VOC create
an impact. The wooden floorings
have been created in-house with
restored wood. While the feel of
the farmhouse is minimalist, it
encapsulates all modern concepts
and encourages sustainability. TIHG
