And those of red-oxide flooring and lime plaster-finished walls which keep the house refreshingly cool.  To put it together, this family house should evoke memories of the past while keeping the design unique and aesthetically modern. Mangalore features a tropical climate with heavy to moderate rainfall most of the year and hot summer days.
