'Dutch Style' Bungalow in Bawarda.
These houses which are designated for Senior European personnel were based on the 'bungalow' prototype which were set on large green lawns. They are typically surrounded by parks and gardens and each house was lined with English hedges. Unlike the workers' houses, these houses are typically built on lots around 1,000 m2 and there were 4.5 units per hectare.

The city of Bawarda was designed by James M. Wilson in 1926 and was inspired by Lutyens’s remodelling of the Garden City and City Beautiful ideas in New Delhi (1911–1940). Bawarda was an attempt at social and ethnic mixing and also offered larger institutional buildings such as the Abadan Technical Institute.
