Neo-Classical residence in Banglore is a typical architectural style to catch when we walk in the streets. This impacts the neighbourhood as many prefer modern style these days. However, some clients coming to us are particular about having a unique style like Neo-Classical. Unlike modern and contemporary styles, this involves a lot of intricate details and attention-to-minute design.

Wall cornice

When the elevation is adorned with these alluring balcony projections, adding the wall cornice elevates it to a new level. The varying levels of wall cornices along the horizontal wall, with their complementary vertical character, are truly captivating in this 40’x60’ plot house. These unique design elements are sure to intrigue and interest you.

Ornate columns

In Roman and Greek styles, different columns are distinguished based on the ornation given on top. Here, we can observe a derived form of Tucan and Doric columns.

Metalwork

The wall cornice and columns bring both horizontality and verticality to the design. To add some intricacy to this, we introduce metalwork. This metalwork, which includes detailed designs and patterns, quickly breaks the monotony in the east-facing home’s colour and design, adding a touch of elegance and uniqueness.

By combining these characteristics, we achieve an elevation that exudes grandeur and regality without additional projections or fake walls. The overall effect is sure to leave you impressed and awed by the grandeur of this project.

Spatial understanding

Like all projects, we bring a spatial presentation that helps the clients understand the home interiors’ length, width and height. For this 40’x60’ plot house, we proposed spatial renders.

These spatial renders are also a way to visualise the plan in three dimensions. Here, in the dining area, we can see the large French windows flooding the space with plenty of natural light.

The kitchen is quite large, and the number of cabinets accommodates it is easily visualised here.

Double height is used every day in almost all Neo-Classical residences in Banglore. Some clients may understand the concept of this cut-out when they see a visualisation like this. Clients can easily visualise the Puja area, cut-out with a chandelier and the TV unit extending to the next floor.
