This proposed residence in Sanghe Khalsa exemplifies Hothico’s minimalist yet visually compelling approach to modern architecture. The facade leverages strong geometric expressions, with bold cantilevered frames and deep-set windows that create a sculptural depth. The house is structured around sharp horizontal and vertical lines, enhanced by varied cladding textures that break visual monotony and add dimension to the elevation. The careful layering of design elements ensures both a strong street presence and a cohesive visual narrative.
The material palette plays a crucial role in defining the character of the home. A tasteful combination of natural stone, wooden textures, concrete finishes, and grey-toned paint surfaces create a modern yet warm atmosphere. The glass balustrade balcony with recessed lighting softens the overall massing and invites openness. Striking vertical fins on the upper floor not only add aesthetic rhythm but also provide subtle shading. The composition is harmonized by the use of ambient lighting that highlights architectural contours after dusk, offering a distinct night-time personality.
