DESIGN SOLUTION  

After several walks around the land with the client, we zoned into an excavation which was done earlier to construct his existing home. We decided to divert all the rainwater into this excavation and convert it into a natural pond. There was a thin strip of land alongside this excavation - a perfect place for a Banquet Hall, partly floating over the water edge!
