Proposed Shop for Hothi Family
This contemporary commercial design exemplifies Hothico Architects’ commitment to modern aesthetics and functional planning. The structure employs clean lines, geometric volumes, and a well-balanced façade to create a visually engaging street presence. The sharp rectangular massing—especially the bold red-tiled cube with a white-framed window—serves as a focal point and anchors the entire composition. The vertical fins on the upper left subtly break the symmetry and add rhythm, enhancing the elevation’s visual depth.
The interplay of textures and materials is thoughtfully executed. Glossy red tiles contrast with neutral-toned plaster, while aluminum and glass elements add a sleek, corporate finish—ideal for an urban retail or office setting. The elevation is also responsive to practical needs, with a clear division between shopfront and upper levels. The central staircase enhances accessibility without overpowering the design language, and the recessed balconies and railings introduce transparency and lightness to the structure.
