A graceful 100-year-old mansion and its garden in the heart of Chennai is now a cultural hub for old and young. Its achieved in restoring the typical colonial style of the mansion and its a small paradise in the midst of polluted streets and highriser’s.There are many positive aspects for this conversion...
Firstly...it reflects the values of a post-wealth culture which among the youngster’s is not popular or relevant. Many of us are not aware of the ancient tricks which our ancestors thoughtfully applied with limited resources. May it be the materials or the features of the building etc.
Secondly, its essential to understand and value how those who came before us lived.There’s an intrinsic value in these lime-and-mortar structures with their teak fixtures. These are the secrets for the achievement of a cool and comfortable structure which now can be enjoyed through the cafe.
Set a trend by restoring heritage properties...!!!
