    Nestled in the heart of Abhyankar Nagar, Nagpur, the house front design stands tall as a testament to architectural finesse and familial harmony. As architects, our journey with this project has been a deeply enriching one. It marks a profound commitment to seamlessly blend tradition with contemporary design while ensuring the space caters to the intricate needs of a multi-generational living arrangement.

    Editor’s Note: “With its linear facade and neutral colour palette, this residence stands tall in the streets of Nagpur. The wooden aluminium batons not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also evoke the timeless warmth of a cherished bungalow. Inside, exquisite attention to detail and a dedication to user experience create a haven of tranquil sophistication, where every corner whispers comfort and every space breathes serenity.” ~Simran Khare

    The House Front Design Stands As A Testament To Architectural Finesse | Studio Habitect

    Design Concept

    Spanning across a generous 2520 sqft plot, ‘GANGA 151’ was conceived with meticulous attention to detail. Our aim was not only to create a physical structure but to craft a living experience that resonated with the essence of Vastu principles, all while embracing modern comforts.

    Facade

    Framed with extended beams and clad with wooden aluminium batons, the choice of this house front design not only broke the scale of the building but also evoked the warmth of an independent bungalow.

    Additionally, the third floor was intentionally pushed back from the front facade. Thus, it enhances its visual appeal and contributing to the overall aesthetic allure of the structure.

    Planning and Layout

    A highlight of our architectural approach was the ingenious layout of the residence. We sought to mitigate the vertical tower effect often associated with multi-story structures. This was done by amalgamating the first and second floors into a unified volume.

    Outside, the architectural elements continue to captivate. The front boundary wall, crafted from MS structure and metal sheets adorns with intricate silhouettes of elephants and mountains.

    Transition Spaces

    Muted tones of wood, white, and grey create a serene ambiance, punctuated by vibrant accents of upholstery, carpets, and wall art. Each room is a canvas of tranquility, with a palette that soothes the senses while allowing splashes of color to infuse life into the space.

    Free Standing Mandir

    Honoring Vastu principles, a free-standing mandir graces the double-height space in the northeast corner of the living room.

    As one ascends to the upper floors, they discover a realm of comfort and sophistication, where the client, his wife, and their two children reside.

    Here, we sought to reinterpret the classic ‘Wada Style’ motif through a modern lens, infusing the design with clean lines, sleek finishes, and subtle embellishments.

    Bedrooms

    The first floor, dedicated to the client’s parents, features two cosy bedrooms, a well-appointed pantry, and a welcoming living room—a sanctuary where cherished memories are made and shared.

    The result is a striking juxtaposition of old and new, tradition and innovation, seamlessly integrated into the architectural narrative of ‘GANGA 151’.
