The house features a kitchenette, a study and bedrooms, all divided by simple flexible demarcations using no division walls. This openness, together with a limited palette of materials and the use of a traditional central courtyard provides the shelter with a unique tranquil aura.

The floor is made of compacted mud with oxide, which has a beautiful red coloring. To top that, an inverted pyramid thatched roof descends inwards towards the courtyard, providing natural light, sky views and it has the ability to catch rainwater. A beautiful, humble guest house made by local people with sustainable materials, Bapagrama Stone House stands in harmony with its environment.
