CONTEMPORARY ABODE
Spread over an area of 5000 sq ft, located in Jalandhar, Punjab, the project attempts to “stand apart” from the existing neighbourhood. An initiative to do something new which also seeks to capture the eye of a passerby. The design is unconventional. It is fluidic, providing a sense of flow and continuity of form, which is not usually seen in the precincts of Punjab.
The client’s brief was to design a house which maximizes space efficiency, has an affair with nature and also is minimal, not overdone. He also wanted the house to be in compliance with the norms of Vaastu.
Dressed in a colour palette of whites and greys, the façade symbolizes purity and fluidity in form. Elements and materials are juxtaposed to create a perfect balance. The entrance boundary wall is ushered by greens, adding to the aesthetics. The main gate is simple yet graceful, linear patterned in grey. The interplay of light and materials is evident in the design.
