Hey Michael,

Being "outside and inside at the same time" strikes me as one of the most profound architectural concepts our predecessors have cultivated. I'm really taken with the concise and apt description of your project. Moreover, the way it emotionally engages with a specific culture, like the Indian one in your case, is commendable. It's these touches that breathe life and feeling into a space for its users. The nuanced treatment of specific elements within a defined space, such as your kitchen, is especially intriguing as it lends a unique identity to the project and the characters within.

From a professional and technical standpoint, the living unit has been delicately crafted, offering functionality without hampering movement. That said, the perforated "galleries" for sleeping might not be the best choice given certain scenarios where flexibility is paramount. In my view, the sleeping area should emanate a sense of calm and tranquility. Wrapping up, while there might be aspects to refine, overall it's a job well done. I'm particularly impressed with how you've incorporated the element of fire and its utilization within the unit.
