Afsaneh Guest House and Afsaneh Bader's own home at Auroville
Japanese aesthetic
This is an intensely private oasis: huge old trees, the stillness of water, paths that curve and suddenly unfold vistas of the

The complex of buildings, Japanese in their severe geometry, with their swooping eaves, are perfectly at home in this south Indian setting with its age-old tradition of sharply sloping roofs.

suite, the most secluded is Afsaneh Bader's own home.
