Proposed Residence for S.S. Malhi
This proposed residence for S.S. Malhi at Malliah Khurd exemplifies a blend of classical and modern architectural principles, creating a grand and commanding façade. The structure’s massing is defined by strong horizontal elements, articulated balconies, and rounded projections that break the linear rhythm with elegance. Symmetrical columns and the use of layered elevations give the building a dignified yet contemporary appearance. The main entrance is emphasized through vertical columns and a central glazed panel, making it a prominent visual anchor of the design.
Material contrast plays a vital role in enhancing the overall aesthetic of the façade. The juxtaposition of warm-toned brick cladding with neutral plastered surfaces creates a visual depth, while large windows framed in darker tones offer a sense of openness and interaction with the outdoors. Balcony railings and detailed cornices add decorative accents, evoking a sense of refinement. The sloped roofline, with its traditional aesthetic, harmonizes with the overall modern formalism of the elevation, successfully balancing innovation with contextual familiarity.
