Bungalow 12, like a number of other small businesses in and around the area, comprises a cosy little building that is part of a larger residential space, but operates independently of it. With a view of different varieties of mango trees, frangipani and palm trees to boot. Most of the trees are about 100 years old and far outdate the building, informs Suneethi Raj, founder, Bungalow 12. And during private parties, people would love to sit out here whenever the weather would permit.”With the combined shade and scents of mango trees such as Banganapalli, rumani, totapuri and neelam, four coconut trees and frangipani of different shades, who can blame them? So buzz went some ACs, and up came walls of clear glass, and “a 20 by 20 skylight so the mango tree is always visible above.” Now, Bungalow 12 comprises 1,500 square feet of clear space, surrounded by the view of ancient trees on three sides, and a leafy canopy above.
