Traditionally, Indians lived in a common family system. The home’s many residents and their interpersonal relationships required well-defined spaces for a variety of activities. Inside the house, there was a private zone and a public zone around the courtyard. These beautiful houses in India had a very high sustainability index. They were designed to suit climate, anthropometry, and Vastu Shashtra, and local building materials and techniques were used in their construction.
Many theorists and respected architects, such as Hassan Fathy, push the underlying concepts of traditional architecture to shape contemporary design. However, in the current scenario, traditional buildings are replaced by rapidly growing concrete jungles that are neither sustainable nor sensitive to natural disasters and microclimate conditions.
Here is a list of 50 beautiful houses in India,
Flintstone House, Kodiga Timmanapalli | Beautiful Houses in India
The idea was to camouflage the surrounding buildings so that they would not be an eyesore in the scenic landscape. The COVID situation also limited the availability of raw materials, so we had to focus on incorporating materials such as dirt and waste into buildings using a technique called Debris Wall Construction.
The Courtyard House, Vadodara
Here, clay tiles are cut and each piece interlocked to explore a blue sky tapestry that appeals to the structure’s white volumetric mass.
Mirai House Of Arches, Bhilwara | Beautiful Houses in India
Designed on a small 622 square meter corner lot in a residential villa layout, Mirai is a contextual home for the hot desert climate of Rajasthan, India. Based on the location, there is minimal open space on the south and east sides, with the future construction of adjacent villas on these sides.
Void House, Thrissur
Echoing tropical modernism, this pleasing height blends seamlessly with the landscape, preserving the privacy of the occupants while invoking curiosity about what lies beyond. This modest east-facing home offers plenty of shade and features a courtyard that encourages free airflow throughout the property.
Mulberry House, New Delhi | Beautiful Houses in India
As the name suggests, the house is hinged around a mulberry tree. This was the only feature of the barren site. This mulberry tree was a very old and mature landscape feature when the site was first visited. Tree placement has emerged as a primary means of structuring residential design, giving it a unique identity.
Ankit Shah Residence, Vadodara
Folding houses that unfold around create beautiful areas within each fold. That’s what these concrete foldings are trying to achieve.
Raintree House, Chennai
With its carved roots and huge canopy, this tree was a major factor in determining the layout and design of the house.
The Foliage House, Ahmedabad | Beautiful Houses in India
Foliage House sits on 22800 square feet. Interestingly, the name comes from the beautiful green patches on the property.
Monochrome House, New Delhi
The builder’s preference was for a sophisticated modernist vocabulary that blended living spaces with landscape design. Spread across four levels, the home effortlessly intertwines order.
Villa KD45 Residence, Ghaziabad | Beautiful Houses in India
The unusual shape of the site and the landscape of the nearby park were taken as design drivers. Based on the theme of the flowing greenery of the municipal park, the design extends from the south side of the park to the north edge.
