Watchtower, Keezpettai, Pondicherry

This tower houses a sound-proof generator room on the ground floor, a utility room on the first, a water tank on the second & a viewing deck on the third floor. Its location on the beach makes it ideal as a watchtower. The double wall of achikal bricks with its roman brick proportion break the massiveness of the structure lending it a period quality like the tower always existed on that site. The pyramidal wood frame roof is covered with country tiles local to that area.
