Hi Joyce...what u pointed out is true..thanks! One of the minor changes I'm making is to give another door /opening from the kitchen into the passage just outside the family room area so that the family needn't visit the dining area to access the family living space....regarding the laundry..its a regional thing..in India, the laundry is usually handled by the lady of the house and the maids! The other members of the family would place their soiled stuff in a wicker basket in their individual rooms and every day these would be collected,sorted & laundered by the mom/maid!

Congratulations to all of you. Its a wonderful platform to be on and you all are doing a great Job. My favourite Design Style is 'Minimal'. I just have this strong connection with simple, subtle and elegant things. Cheers:)

In terms of cost, it really depends on quite a few factors Existing condition of the structure Location Quality of Horticulturist Type of Green Cover etc....
