The bedrooms which are facing to E have one more unique character as an openable screen which allows them to have partial vision towards the road side at
the same time giving them good privacy from the road vision. Thus, they can open up the screen as and when required to enhance the light and view. The sciography which comes out of the screen gives goose bumps when it falls from different angles.

This gives a beautiful sciography in the morning hours which keeps changing with sun travelling from E to W. This gives an energy with a twist in each of front room.
