Got a call from my client in Pune to say that we’d probably build just a single level bungalow after all. Right from the start, I’d been advising them that 4 bedrooms - for a family of 3 - was a complete waste of space and money.

Better late than never.

Now the only problem is I have to re-work the layout and, more importantly, the built form. Permissions from the municipal corporation have already been obtained, so I have to stick to the same footprint for the structure.

The revised plan was frozen yesterday. The puja will be on 6th April when, as architect, I must dig a token hole in the ground.
