Hi sriram227. Are there certain areas of the home you are looking to control? We would suggest evaluating what your needs are and what parts of the home you'd like to control. What we have found is that consumers are looking for solutions to specific areas of the home. With the garage door being the largest moving object in a home, and the front door for many families, we have developed a smart home technology, MyQ Garage. MyQ Garage is a simple DIY product that can be added to your existing garage door opener (check compatibility) and gives you control direct from your smartphone from anywhere. It provides a simple solution to an issue we have all faced, leaving the garage door open. Here is some additional information: http://www.chamberlain.com/smartphone-control-products/myq-garage.

Narayana, With openable grills with French Windows are good ! They look good and provide better sunlight/wind into the house. The by side of French Windows are internal placement of furniture becomes an issue at times. Outside sounds and weather also affect the inside a bit more. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

The kitchen sink should go towards the corner next to the stove area since the plumbing would be easier due to the bathroom pipeline on that wall. The stove should be moved from there to the basin area but more central. I couldn't zoom in but what is loft above. Anyway, I think you could get rid of that wall and make it a half wall, and include a counter with 2 -3 bar chairs like for quick meals. Puja area, I think would be better elsewhere since there is non-veg food and sometimes alcohol consumption. You could have more like a partition shelf wall between dining and living, need to think more on moving the puja area somewhere else. Also, since the common bathroom is right there, you would not need another basin next to the dining area, its just not a good sight . You could mail me the floor plan and we could work on it more elaborately, but this is simply a skimmed review of the layout. Hope I was helpful .
