The grey tone of the exterior has been balanced with engineered wood flooring and green lawn beyond the portico. What’s more!

The balcony two is designed in a similar fashion. The façade also has a third element in place – a stone wall one of the quadrants of the front wall of the house.

7. L-shaped balcony

The balconies cover the corners of the house and help designing a more elegant and expansive looking building for the owners. Minimalist décor also improves the overall charm.

8. Terrace with a breezy feel

The terrace on the first floor level acts as a focal point of this residential structure. It is further designed with two separate porches on two sides of the building. The terrace is reasonably spacious and offers a gorgeous view of the surroundings. The chic cane furniture on the porches add style and comfort in this part of the house.

9. An abode of peace

It is a small and awkwardly shaped patio. But see how the interior designer made the best possible use of the available space. The wooden deck feels elegant enough. It is further accentuated with a variety of palm trees, flowering plants, creepers and shrubs. The shutter on the roof keeps the space cool even in the hot summer months. This looks like a tropical paradise and it is designed within one’s home.
