The Lineage House - Modern Farmhouse design by leading Indian architects

Introduction

Houses have tales to tell. The walls, garden or even a broken window can transport you back to a time when a small boy hit a sixer and dashed away before anyone could see him. People breathe life into the structure and are the heart and soul of the memories they create in it.

The Lineage House is a country home situated in Mirzapur, near Varanasi. It has large, open areas that make them ideal for multigenerational families who enjoy living together as well as enjoy entertaining people.

This house is like a stepping stone to build a home for the current and coming generations where they can live their lives from childhood to old age. Making memories and growing old together in a place bonds you closely to the house and every little corner might tingle a memory of the past.

Ancestral Home in the Modern Era

In today's society, traditional village rituals have taken on a new turn. They do exist, but they have a sense of modernism and progress as time changes. The house still has spaces allotted for collaborative spaces, not only for the family but also for the villagers who they consider as part of the same community. The traditions which their ancestors used to practice have still found relevance in this urbane era.

The area outside the house has a small social gathering surrounded by greens which is a great way to enjoy the outdoors with your loved ones. Such spaces not only are considered as collaborative spaces, but also result in an interrelationship between the indoor and outdoor.

A granary which has an image of a temporary structure with lots of dirt around clouds our opinion on how the spaces would look and feel. To the contrary, having a calm and clean space near the entrance as a granary serves our purpose as well as looks aesthetically appealing.

Legacy

It makes no difference what you do as long as you improve something from its original state without detracting from its natural character. Each generation adds to the values and ethics build up their ancestors. Lineage House aims to be that house where people feel at home and generations have memories to cherish. As rightly said by Frank Gehry, “Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.”

Such country homes are constructed with a long term in mind. They are not only for the current generation, but also for future generations, serving not only as houses but also as centres for responsible land stewardship.

The Villa

The house is grand yet bestows a welcoming feeling. Large structures resonate opulence and impart the impression of magnificence.

The home lends itself to the surrounding environment by merging the outdoor to the indoor built environment. Colonial eclectic modern style sets a mood of the whole space as a tranquil and serene country home which brings together a large joint family under one roof.

The house's classical style produces a very simple yet elegant sense, which reflects the owners' humble personality. The color tones used in the house are very minimal and the greys and white with clean lines create an impression of celebrating the ordinary. Often in life, we get so lost that we forget about little things that are taking us closer to our goal on a daily basis. This kind of architecture is a way to help you find calm in the chaos.

A serene and clean atmosphere is created through the use of grey, white, black, and flashes of green. The use of a range of textures complements each other. Modern country houses are distinguished by huge glass windows. The outside flows into the house, while the inside is open to the outside. This implies a desire for a higher level of connection with nature. You become involved in the landscape rather than managing it.

The pavement creates a strong contrast between the building and ground. The building grabs our focus due to the color combination and high contrast.

Conclusion

It is vital to never forget your roots that keep you grounded and humble. To be in a space which you can call yours that connects you deeper to your values and ethics is something to hold onto!

Villa Hacienda - Spanish Hacienda Interior Design

A weekend retreat away from the city to unwind, refresh and rest. Spanish hacienda-style casa that feels authentic yet modern.

INTRODUCTION

Urban life can be hectic, taxing and drains you out completely. The tall buildings, the same 9-to-5 hamster wheel, the power a man imposes on nature is so prominent in day to day life that it can make you feel submerged.

REST, REGROUP AND REACESS

It is vital to unplug from the hustle bustle of the city once in a while to reconnect with nature. Essentially, practice mindfulness on a daily basis to help you stay grounded. Regardless of our social environments, a connection to the natural world provides equilibrium and embodies a sense of belonging. This is one of the simplest methods to take care of you. The need to go back to your roots, spend time in nature can actually make you feel rejuvenated.

THE FARMHOUSE

The use of natural, unrefined materials reconnects us to our roots. The house combines rustic interiors with Spanish Hacienda Style. Natural wood and stone are used to bring nature into the home, blending it with the visible landscape through the use of large glass.

Large buildings made of steel, glass, and other man-made materials monopolize the city life. These materials demonstrate man's strong dominance over nature. Natural materials, on the other hand, remind us of the primitive times when early man relied on these materials to create shelter.

Earthy materials and tones give the space a sophisticated elegance. The elements combined create a homely atmosphere with a sense of warmth.

Exposed wooden beams are just one eye-catching feature in the living room, which creates a truly one-of-a-kind experience. The living room has large windows with doors that completely open to provide an open indoor/outdoor feel while overlooking the stunning scenery.

The walls of the house are kept plain to drive the focus to the stone cladding as well as the wooden ceiling. The wood imparts a cozy and warm vibe to the whole space.

Asymmetrical facades, stucco walls, tile roofs, rounded windows and doorways, and rooms that open onto courtyards or patios are few features which set this weekend retreat an abode away from the city where you can just unwind and relax is a perfect weekend getaway that can fuel you up for the next week.

The interior design of the whole house is tied with the amalgamation of the thought to create a discrete environment from the city and keep the earthy and welcoming appeal to it as well.

Villa Hacienda creates a significant change to transition from an urban, contemporary residence to nearly 12000 square feet large property.

CONCLUSION

Taking a break from daily life gives you space, and interrupting the daily cycle can restore not only your physical but also your mental energy levels. Daily stress can reduce creativity and cloud our judgement, inferring that we are not working to our full potential. Being stuck, whether at work or in your routine, can have negative consequences; however, taking a break allows you to return revitalized and with new ideas.

Sometimes in life it is vital to take a break from the busy urban life to rest, reorganize and refocus!

Neo Classic Calcutta - Classic House Design

INTRODUCTION

KOLKATA - a city that kindles emotions associated with art, architecture, music, cinema, and food and everything connected to exquisite aspects of life, needs to be revisited to revitalize the essence in the modern era.

Neo Classic Calcutta, a classic house design, is an attempt to revive the lost charm of Calcutta Style Architecture in a world where globalization and urbanization has taken a toll on us. Restoring the essence of a theme or style takes us back to revisit the past from a new perspective.

The concoction of various Mughal and European building styles can be apparently determined from the structures in Kolkata. Amalgamation of such elements and styles has resulted in many architectural influences in various parts of Kolkata.

The colonial house was in many ways a revival style which incorporated the British style along with many elements from the Mughal architecture as well.

THE OLD VINTAGE MEMORIES

The old Calcutta style houses used to catch the eye by the vibrant colors used in the house exterior design with color blocking wooden louvered windows. The balconies were always an interesting space to enjoy the outdoors while being in your own person space. The birds chirping on the roof and people chattering down the street could all be heard due to the interplay of indoors and outdoors. The wooden, louvered sunshade screens in the balcony used to make the whole space look more aesthetically appealing and created interesting shadows to watch in the siesta time. Due to the hot and humid climate, cross ventilation was very necessary. The breeze when rushed from the louvered windows to one’s face would accompany a little cooling sensation which made you feel comfortable in the warm and moist outdoors.  

Revival of these elements in today’s world is relevant due to the experience and timelessness that it carries with design. Traditional house design in Calcutta would include different elements used over the time in different scenarios and by different influencers of art.

REINTERPRETATION OF OLD ELEMENTS IN MODERN ERA

The house elevation includes selective elements from the old houses of Calcutta which result in a Neo Calcutta Classical theme.

The house exterior design incorporates the following elements:

1. Balustrade and pillar/ column –The grandeur and flamboyance of this neoclassical building is seen from afar due to the balustrades, colonnades and ornamentation which take us back to the Colonial era where architecture was influenced by the Roman style. Creating a different experience with multiples terraces and balconies having different kind of railings, gives us a sense of distinguishing factor. 

2. Curved Balcony – A balcony is an addition that offers more than just an outdoor space, but also helps you connect with the outdoor in an amusing manner. The curved semi-circular balcony used in this design gives us a glimpse of the Art Deco Style which was famous during the 20th century in South Kolkata. Such kind of balcony gives a sleek rounded look to the peculiar linear shaped building

3. MS Railing and Wooden Sunshade Screen – Wooden sunshade screens in a balcony with sloping roofs are a common element seen in the houses of Old Calcutta. These kind of balconies add a character to the building and makes us urban nostalgists- people who wish to refurbish and revive the old lost charm. 

4. Louvred window and doors– Wooden doors and windows are created in a way that people can lounge in the interior and yet observe the world go by. The whole look and feel of the windows takes us back to the Classic Calcutta theme. Incorporating such a balcony, helps us to create an experience different from the regular balconies by introducing the wooden screens which

CONCLUSION

When a man reaches an age where he loses its charm to influence and slowly weathers down, we associate it with a gradual decay. The experience, memories and thought he has gained over the years makes him more relevant and beautiful in a very natural way. Similarly, when a building gets old, the paint or the walls might not have the same shine and brightness but this is a way of the building growing old gracefully and being a part of the life of the people who have lived in it.

Reminiscing the old style of architecture which was impacted by a variety of people, circumstances and style brings in nostalgia. Our aim is to create an/a assorted/distinctive and rich cultural legacy that has found articulation in its one-of-a-kind design in an urbane/modern era.

Villa Hacienda - Luxury Classic House Design

If your life seems hectic and out of control, why not find your place where you can go to unwind, read, and take sanctuary from outside intrusions?

A place that is closer to nature always makes our mind and body feel healthy and peaceful. An abode away from the city where you can just unwind and relax is a perfect weekend getaway that can fuel you up for the next week.

If you just like to sit back and dream or contemplate, your private abode should inspire you to do that. Extraordinary thoughts are often encouraged by private, undisturbed time away from the flurry of ordinary day-to-day exercises.

Villa Hacienda incorporates the interaction of interior spaces with substantial outdoor experiences. The private outdoor areas include the fireplace, gazebo, private courtyard, and a swimming pool which overlooks the greenery around the site.

The farmhouse is a retreat built for a couple who loves to find a place of their own where they can find peace. The couple has beautiful dogs who are super energetic and love to move around in the open. People often connect to nature and open spaces to revive the energy.

Villa Hacienda is a classical home design in Gurgaon.

The choice of color of the walls is kept subtle which helps to reinforce the fact that the area is for relaxing. The delicate and soft pastels feel soothing and remind one of childhood when everything was soft and comforting. To keep the child alive within you, one must find small things that remind them of how uncomplicated and relaxing life was.

The various sloping roofs in the design make it easier for the building to merge with the landscape near the site. The connection that a sloping roof builds with the ground is much closer and directs the focus towards the roots and foundation where we all come from- the soil.

To connect the public areas with the private outdoor areas of the building, an interesting and stylish architectural element known as the archways are incorporated. The archways are stone cladded and draw the user’s attention to give emphasis and distinguish the space from the rest of the area. Arched passages look extraordinary in passages and sections which can be moderately gloomy and boring spaces. 

The building has a combination of large and small windows on all the facades. The small windows prevent direct sunlight from warming the space too much in areas where a little cool breeze would elevate the mood and setting. There are spindles added around the small windows which are used to decorate and give an added aesthetic appeal to the windows. There are large windows that are incorporated to overlook the private open spaces and welcome a large part of sunlight into the interior spaces.

There is a central green courtyard embodied outside the main living room that creates a great view as well as makes the whole experience of spending time indoors interesting. Such a courtyard is also an element to connect the outdoor and indoor space wisely. 

The wall lamps add an antique and vintage twist to the whole building. The ornamentation around the arch helps decorate and beautify it. It is shaped organically to break the monotony of the whole vertical and horizontal lines. The creepers which are included in the elevations of the building emphasize the natural flow of growing. The growth of these plants demonstrates the coherent manner in which nature exists. 

The whole theme of the building is based around the Spanish Hacienda Style which elevates and distinguishes the experience of living in the city. The architecture used in the elevation design creates a different mood and tone of the experience the building has to offer.

A functional and simple yet aesthetic space is what you can call your abode which brings you tranquility and serves as a break from the stress we experience in day-to-day life.

Vault House , Classical house design in Noida

Embracing Architecture and Design in its Truest Form !

Vault house aims to encapsulate the essence of simple yet holistic living. The materials are used in their most exposed (unpretentious) form and structural elements are true to their functional requirements.

Vaults are one of the most ancient techniques for creating shelters. Dating back to egyptian times, vaults were one of the most fundamental forms of architecture. Truest to their form and nature, vaulted roofs throughout the architectural history have been used to shelter; from the most humble dwellings to the buildings of highest prominence. It has evolved as an element and has continued its existence throughout history by taking many shapes and forms.

Due to limited knowledge of material sciences and construction technologies, creating vaults and domes was one of the only ways to create shelters and roofing structures. However, in the modern times, with the advent of modern industrial materials it is no more a neccessity. Rather it has now evolved as a symbol of the vast Architectural Heritage. Vault house is the project that celebrates this architectural symbol in its Truest and Purest Form!

Project Details

Project : Vault House
Location : Noida
Area : 5500 sqft

Team
Design : Shubhi Agarwal, Tejeshwi
Structure : EBI India

With response to the context, the house follows a typology of a fortified unit with multiple introverted courtyards, roof-top gardens, and uninterrupted views of the sky and the raw character of brick. Rooms are made at various levels that break the physical connectivity yet visually connect its inhabitants with landscape and greens. All these approaches try to capture the fundamentals of a traditional and a holisitic way of living.

Various structural systems like vaults and domes have been incorporated using different techniques through locally available brick. These structural forms symbolize the strength and essence of simple and sensible living. The highest vaulted roof is planned centrally connecting all the habitable spaces of the house and captures all the hot air thus creating a flow of natural ventilation inside. All these elements combine to create an environment within an existing environment.

The vault house has been designed to percept certain views which the user may find relaxing. All major living spaces overlook green areas creating a continuous connect of the user to landscape and greens. Multiple vaults and does are created to capture the uninterrupted views of the sky and add an element of simplicity in the residence. These framed insights are achieved through different volumes and levels in spaces. Different kinds of skylights create fascinating shadows throughout the day and evoke the user’s experience.

Plays in volumes of the building also reach out for interesting connectivity’s within various spaces and creating multiple experiences for the user in his abode. Small terrace gardens connected to different living spaces of the house provide diversity in its kind. A barrier of privacy is maintained through a lot of greenery interwoven with the interior spaces. Intimate spaces along the bay windows look out to the immediate surroundings and provide peaceful and calm environments.

The double-heighted green courtyard space covered with a skylight forms the center of the house. By placing this atrium centrally, all other activities of the house are directly-indirectly connected to it. Thus, a main dynamic zone is created at the center of the house allowing for interaction to happen. Visual connectivity between the two floors is maintained. The vertical movement within the house revolves around the central courtyard space through inter-connected spaces. This enhances the social interaction taking place between the users.

As in the case of most urban cities, the ‘Vault House’ is a typical urban single-family residence that evolves with the inevitable agglomerations of a plotted development in the growing city of Noida. The need for land demands the plot to be peripherally surrounded by other residences, leading to a single open side connecting to a secondary lane, with no care to ensure increased visual connectivity to public spaces. Such a cloistered context creates a challenge to create an environment that restores the connectivity of the user with nature through daily activities as well as provide unique experiences through specific frame of views, play of spatial interconnectivities, private intimate spaces and juxtaposition of various materials, colors and textures.

Dating back to egyptian times, vaults were one of the most fundamental forms of architecture. Truest to their form and nature, vaulted roofs throughout the architectural history have been used to shelter; from the most humble dwellings to the buildings of highest prominence.

Vault house is the project that celebrates this architectural symbol in its simplest form and translates it into the concept of Simple yet Holistic Living!

Domus 30 , Classical House design in Ghaziabad

Blending Timeless Architectural Grandeur to Modern Lifestyles!

Domus 30 is a residential project designed on the core principles of classical style of architecture with an aim of achieving palatial proportions in Built aesthetics while maintaining the pleasures of simple living.

The term Domus dates back to Roman times and was the much desired dwelling unit of the classical era. It depicts a single family house of palatial proportions while maintaining the pleasures of simple living.

Domus 30, a villa in Suryga nagar Ghaziabad as been built on the same lines. Natural light and greens are given lot of significance in the overall experience of the space. Large windows fenestrations (arched) provide ample daylight into the interior spaces thus making the spaces grand and experiential. To further accentuate the essence of palatial grandeur, the ceilings are kept high and decorated with minimal detailing to create large volumes of space filled with natural daylight. Materials are kept monochromatic and minimal thus shifting focus to the architectural built volume.

Location : Ghaziabad
Area : 15,000 sqft

Design : Irfan , Nilesh
Structure : EBI India

Domus 30 is a residential project designed on the core principles of classical style of architecture. The house is situated on a plot size of 600 sqyards and allows for green landscaped spaces on all sides. This in turn enables the building to be open from all sides and maximizes intake of natural light in all the interior spaces.

Natural daylight and greens are the two fundamental characteristics that are required to make a building complete when designed on the lines of classical era. The house is planned with three individual floors for the three families units. This allows for all the family members to have common congregational spaces while maintaining the privacy of their individual smaller family units.

Window fenestrations play a very critical role in such designs as they are responsible for not only bringing in natural light but to also add a delicate interface to the monolithic classical structure. Opening sizes of the windows are designed in proportion to the building structure. Some window openings are kept exceptionally large while some are designed to create punctures into the monolithic mass. Similar to the interplay of the building volume, windows too are designed and placed in cross-combinations to each other across the complete building facade.

Larger arched windows are placed at very critical places to divert maximum attention to that part of the buidling while smaller linear windows are used to guide the eye around and across the building elevation. Larger arched window openings are divided with mullions and members to add a character of scale and intricacy to the window panes. These frames within the window openings not only add a taste of classical era to the building but also create interesting viewing angles for the inhabitants looking outside.

With a large volume and building mass similar to that of a palace, the house embodies grandeur in its purest form. To further add to it, the internal ceiling heights are also kept higher than conventional with minimal false ceilings and decoration. As the interiors are primarily kept monochromatic and white, the essence of openness and natural light becomes phenomenal. Higher ceiling heights make the interiors spacious and open that create an environment of immense peace and calmness.

Since the core planning and fundamental design of the building embodies essence of classical design, the need to add claddings and additional design features vanishes. The interior design of the space only becomes a continuation of the architectural design. The material finishes become extensions of the natural daylight that floods the interior space.

Domus 30 , is designed on the core principles of classical style of architecture with an aim of achieving palatial proportions in Built aesthetics while maintaining the pleasures of simple living.

In terms of design, it is an outcome that encapsulates the essence of both function and aesthetics. A design that never gets out-dated thus becomes - Timeless.

Minaret House , Classical house design in Noida

Reviving Classical Architecture of Indian Subcontinent !

Minaret house, Noida is designed to capture and reinterpret the traditional elements to create a distinctive identity rooted in culture and traditions.

With the onset of globalization, there has been a great exchange of technology, knowledge, art and architecture and many other disciplines. In one way this has led to greater exposure and efficiency but at the very same time, it is also the reason behind the present state of mundane monotony. Across the globe, each region had its unique culture and traditions that were formed organically over a period of centuries that gave a distinct- unique character to the people of that particular region.

With the growing exchange of information, we are constantly losing out on this distinctiveness and are choosing to create a large over-arching generic character. Architecture too went through this process of globalization and pretty much all major centers across the globe now follow a similar building standard.

Project Details

Project : Minaret House
Location : Noida
Area : 8500 sqft

Team
Design : Manisha , Shubh , Tejeshwi
Structure : EBI India

Minaret House is a residential project located in Jaypee Wishtown, Noida. This individual residence as a part of a greater exploration has tried to restore, renew and revitalize the lost wisdom of formal expressions that has been developed over centuries as an art of building. The process of regeneration in the ‘Minaret house’ through ecological and cultural means has somewhat tried to capture the essence of tradition and provide a base to imminent architecture.

In spite of being spread across three floors, the built form is fragmented and stepped to create large terraces adjoining all family areas to recapture the feeling of the ground connection. It facilitates the family to reconnect to the cultural way of always being in semi-outdoor spaces like courtyards, streets and allows them to use these spaces as an extension to the house.

The character of intimate family spaces like courtyards in traditional houses has been captured in the double height living area. All private areas of the house invariably connect both visually and audibly to this central space that ties the whole family. A large kitchen adjoining this living area further enhances its usage as the family gathering space.

Small intimate spaces with low ceiling heights, narrow entryways and small external windows are planned adjoining large family spaces and other public spaces for providing the requisite comfort , privacy and scale that exist in the traditional houses of Rajasthan. These small intimate spaces, varying in character and physical manifestation helps in retaining the feeling of intimacy at home.

A natural ventilation system has been implemented in the house with the use of a Minaret. The forced air circulation created by the Minaret lowers the indoor temperature phenomenally and helps in reducing energy loads. Wind towers have been in use for many centuries in various desert regions around the world. The Minaret (Wind Tower) has been integrated centrally with its exposed façade towards the south-west side. With this exposure the air heats up quickly inside the tower, thus forcing itself out and creating a continuous airflow inside the house. This has been used in combination with openings towards green terraces that surround the house and that towards the golf course. This creates a continuously self-existing cycle of cool and fresh air from the greens to enter in the house and ultimately pushed upwards from the wind tower. This forced air circulation created by the Minaret lowers the indoor temperature phenomenally and helps in reducing energy loads.

Minaret house is designed to capture and reinterpret the traditional elements to create a distinctive identity rooted in culture and traditions. It not only embodies the climatic principles but also the social patterns that the architectural heritage offered.

Arch house

Transforming a Classical Symbol into a Contemporary Form !

Arch house is a residential project located in Greater Noida. The project serves as a culmination and a celebration of "ARCH" as an architectural element and transforms this symbol into a built form.

Arches from times immemorial have been used in buildings to create door-window openings, entrance door ways, arcade passages and many more. Not only have they been employed in buildings but arches were a fundamental structural element as well and so were used to span bridges, aqua-ducts (man-made water canals during roman era) and create supports for tall structures.

Since it had a very simple function to transfer the vertical load (forces) to horizontal and shift it from its location; this allowed to create openings underneath and thus became fundamental. In historic times, large stone slabs were used to create openings and passageways but they had their limitations of size thus they were rendered useless when used in larger structures. To overcome this limitation, Arches were used and thus became a fundamental element of architecture, structure and design.

Arch house is a residential project located in Greater Noida. The project serves as a culmination and a celebration of "ARCH" as an architectural element and transforms this symbol into a built form. Arch is used not only as a functional element (in the project) but as a representational element that showcases its significance in the architectural heritage.

The house is located on a corner plot and faces a green belt on its londer side. This in turn enables the building to be open from three sides and maximizes intake of natural light in all the interior spaces. Natural daylight and greens are the two fundamental characteristics that are required to make a building complete when designed on the lines of classical era.

Natural light and greens are given lot of significance in the overall experience of the space. Large windows fenestration provide ample daylight into the interior spaces thus making the spaces grand and experiential. To further accentuate the essence of palatial grandeur, the ceilings are kept high and decorated with minimal detailing to create large volumes of space filled with natural daylight. The exterior and interior materials finishes are kept minimal and monochromatic thus shifting focus of the viewer to the overall experience and not to a particular space or feature.

Classical style in architecture has a very wide chronological timeline and cannot be defined as a specific period in history. Across centuries it has evolved many a times, has taken varied forms and has shaped itself into a universal form. Arches too are one of the core fundamental elements of Architecture that have evloved and taken many shapes throughout history.

Arch House serves as a culmination and a celebration of "ARCH" as an architectural element and transforms this symbol into a built form.
