Gunina is a peaceful 3 bedroom abode, situated in the vicinity of a forest at Adar Estate Coonoor. The property is a linear strip facing the majestic eucalyptus forest. The outhouses and den are additional spaces that an owner can capitalize upon. Outdoors, the sprawling gardens are on a single level, with upmost beauty of the grove and the house itself.
Architecturally, the house has been designed to capture the most of the forest that lies ahead. Interior elements of rustic styles and tradition adorn Gunina, both in the living as well as private spaces.
The gardens are lush green throughout the year. Nature feeds the lawn without the owners intervention into watering the gardens. The moisture from the eucalyptus forest keeps the plants and grass greener than any other home in the locality.
Tall ceilings in most rooms bring in ample light and air, while the madras terrace dining adds a flair of the old. High quality inputs of tiles, carpentry, glasswork, sanitary, paint textures and lighting require low maintenance and extend longevity of the house.

Karaikudi wood has been repurposed to build the doors, windows, louvres, flooring, kitchen and various artefacts within the house.
