Chennai, India My niece named this house the Four House, even though I had another name in mind. It stuck. The building is close to the beach with a great view from the top of the Bay of Bengal. It is not far from my sister and parents'  houses. I was looking to design an striking looking building that would combine familiar elements in a way that showed strength and safety - a place you would want to come home to. The many facets of the building and very strong lines add visual interest to the building. The cupola at the top caps off the building in an elegant way.
