“He never said he would do the building, but he started to pace up and down the hill,” Mr. Young said. But by the time they met for dinner, Mr. Anjalendran had drawn a plan.
The four-bedroom bungalow is simple and spare, with rooms arranged around a garden courtyard. The structure frames views of the bay, rolling hills and a pavilion in the style of a traveler’s rest house.
“I loved it,” Mr. Young said of the original sketch that became the foundation for the final design. “It was simple, not intruding on the land. Anjalendran said we must go back and look at the land at moonlight, and back we went.”
