Elevation & Evolution

Our client had a clear vision for the exterior elevation, desiring a contemporary aesthetic emphasising minimalism, projected walls, and facade walls. In the initial sketch, we portrayed where the projections can come from and how the overall massing will look. Here, the material palette is still a point of discussion for the modern home exterior for this 40 x 60 home plot, but their clear vision reassured us about the direction of the design.

After the initial sketch was developed, the clients’ preferences for metal framing with a mix of wooden cladding were carefully considered and incorporated into the design. We also aimed to highlight the projections in the west-facing plot.

Further, the clients wanted to explore a few more projections and a regular metal framework. The plan includes balcony projections played with further facade walls and strip lights.

Planning & Understanding

Our clients are not just clients but integral partners in the design process. They sit with us, share their requirements, and develop zoning layouts based on their vision. This collaborative approach ensures that their unique needs and preferences are at the heart of the project. As this is a west-facing plot, we devised a plan that not only meets their requirements but also adheres to Vastu principles, respecting the cultural significance of the project.

This side of the west-facing house receives less harsh sunlight while it lets in the fresh air, and placing the landscape in this area elevates the home’s microclimate drastically. This is also why following Vastu principles balances the overall house’s climatology.

Interiors & spatial volumes

Interior planning is a crucial stage that comes after the initial planning. At this point, we start envisioning the overall finishing of the home, including a false ceiling that covers the sunken slab portions and protruding beams. We also look into the detailed design of each space in the house, igniting excitement about the possibilities of their future home.

Here are examples of 3D sketches we prepare to help the client understand spatial planning. This is the starting point towards interior designing.

We start this process by gathering detailed requirements for the aspects of modern interior design. We prepared an interior design ideas presentation to understand the client’s style. As a part of the interior design team, we also recommend furniture options suitable for each space. We then proceed with the interior renders.
