The Hexagon manifests itself as a jaali (perforated surface) wrapping around the courtyard, located at the backside of the residence.

The double-sided jaali consists of two perforated screens with the framework inserted between them. This backlit installation aesthetically uplifts the appearance of this residence, visually distinguishing it from adjacent structures.
