Lalitha Mahal, Madurai









'Lalitha mahal' at Anna Nagar, Madurai for my friend CT (of Chidambaram Transport) was done with extremely difficult constraints, viz., intricate requirements, vasthu sasthra, an existing 800 sft structure that couldn't be disturbed and finally CT who was caught between different ideas! . As I couldn't do much about the exterior due to the above constraints , I put some effort in the interiors to reflect the 'chettinad type' house in a modern style to reflect the clients background.

    Cool that the mom, traditionally thought of as conservative, supported you.

    I lost the comment you left on my site ;-(. lately, I have taken to highlighting articles from the Hindu rather than write my own stuff. I should get back to that.Thanks for your support.
