Green Mansion - Inside Outside Magazine

There is a Spartan elegance to the entrance of the warm brick and tiled roof mansion as you enter through a covered porch into a corridor and a formal drawing-room. The most striking feature at Casa Rojo is the Mangalore tiles roof, or series of roofs that enclose the mottled pink brick walls in continuous creases and folds, like a collection of origami hats. Since they have been collecting antique cupboards, chairs, chests, prints, table lamps and tables for a long time, these provide the unique flavour that they have learnt to create, incorporating the old with the new, serenely and timelessly.
