A small Bungalow, called the “Sunshine Bungalow”, in Pune before and after the renovation – some comparative picture before and after.
The owner didn’t want to change the yellow wall-colours, because even if the sun doesn’t shine outside, the whole house always appears like being bathed in sunlight! Therefore it is called “The Sunshine Bungalow”
The Livingroom
The livingroom was formally used as a tailoring-studio, but now it regained its origin possession as the drawing-room. The largest room of the bungalow with the most windows deserves to be the middle-point as it also gives the access to the roof terrace, which provides additional “open air” dining hall and a recreation center (See Portfolio: Roof Terrace in the style of “1001 Nights”) . The area of the most activity accommodates also a small home-office as it is better to work it in the hall than in the bedroom, which should be reserved for resting rather than working.
Before: The tailoring-studio was designed in a simple and practical way, but the energy entering the room shot immediately out of the window without nourishing the rest of the room.
