Proposed Residence of S. Makhan Singh
This architectural design by Hothico Architects for the residence of S. Makhan Singh in Jaja Kalah, Phillaur, is a sophisticated blend of symmetry, proportion, and classical influences. The elevation reflects a monumental character, with cylindrical corner volumes and an imposing vertical presence enhanced by continuous glazing. The use of domed roof forms atop the cylindrical projections adds a regal touch, giving the residence a palatial appearance.
The façade integrates traditional and modern elements effectively. The neutral beige tone of the exterior walls is complemented by dark-framed glazing and red brick accent bands, striking a balance between warmth and elegance. Decorative balcony railings and floral planters enhance the softness and hospitality of the overall expression. Vertical and horizontal lines are used strategically to emphasize height and structural clarity without making the form feel rigid.
