Creativity is the seed for Human Evolution
Exploring Creative Potential in Contemporary Home Design

Humans have tremendous creative potential. Our ability to imagine and realize possibilities is evidenced by our ability to build smart cities, luxury airplanes, cures for hundreds of diseases, symphonies, and virtual reality games, among other astonishing innovations.

Almost every day, we address problems in novel ways. We tap into our creative spark all the time, whether in school, on the road, in our cubicle, or even in the cup of tea we make. As global warming and technological advancements increase with the changing times, spaces that are modern and eclectic come into preference.

Evolution in House designs!
Houses that are an extension of their surroundings

Humans' most fundamental needs were food and shelter. Men used to dig and carve out sanctuary and create it in their homes thousands of years ago to protect themselves. Over a thousand years ago, man-manufactured tools out of whatever were available to make their labor more effortless and more efficient. With the passage of time, the need for growth and evolution became clear. Humans need to fuel innovation, which leads to evolution.

When we build nowadays, we seek to build for the future. We imagine a far more advanced space than the one we are now using. We construct with a long-term strategy of expanding and connecting our thought process to the design. As an extension of its surroundings, the house contributes to the environment and greenery as a volume.

Multiple Interconnected Volumes
An innovative approach for this Modern House Design in Delhi

Utopia is a simple, elegant, and uncluttered composition of stacked forms interlinked and cut open to expose the interior spaces to large green spaces which create blur lines between the indoor and outdoor.

The visual connection of the building to the outside highlights how constructing fluid spaces aesthetically and spatially connects locations. Living indoors feels like living outside. It integrates the outer environment so perfectly that it creates a free-flowing functional system.

A Magnificent Play of Light
Designed for this Contemporary House Design Delhi

Light is often a guiding force to find direction. The design process takes into account factors such as how much lighting is required for the type of human activity, how it is distributed both inside and outside, and how the lighting system affects the feelings and experiences of its user. The interplay of light and shadow enhances nature's grandeur more intriguing and captivating.

A linear Building Form
An innovative approach for this Modern House Design in Delhi

The structure of the building is composed of simple, straight lines with minimal orientation and smooth, uniform surfaces. This results in a carefully formed volume that gives the impression that several masses are working and interacting together.

Seamless View of the Outdoors
Farmhouse Plans that are oriented towards outdoor spaces

The use of glass in buildings works like magic. The visual impact of the outdoors from the indoors creates a seamless connection. Modernist structures are designed with floor-to-ceiling windows to let in lots of natural light. Modernist structures frequently have what are known as "curtain walls" as well. The outside, non-structural walls enable a building's whole facade to be constructed of glass.

Roof as an Extension to Built
In this Modern Farmhouse Design in Delhi

Modern residences have low, horizontal cantilevered roofs and large overhangs as a key design element. Materials such as steel, iron, concrete block, and glass make the modernist design more versatile. Utopia's cantilevered roofs do not confine the building to its outer walls, but work as an extension of the structure to merge with the land.

Tetris House - A modern approach to house architecture , Greater Noida

Tetris house in its true sense is a house of the future that is diverse yet whole. A space where people coexist with the outside world and their families at the very same time.

A Modern approach to House Architecture

Our needs from our homes have become multi-faceted with the changing times. Homes have become professional workspaces, classrooms for kids and centres of family entertainment. Houses are no more serving the only purpose of being with our families but today we are connecting with the outside world from our very homes. From the space of dwelling, houses have become the space of entirely everything.

Introduction

The house derives its name from the video game of the 90s - Tetris and is designed as an interlocking composition of many smaller volumes. The house is situated in Greater Noida and is built on a plot size of 200sqm.

Built on one of the middle plots of the row housing, the house shares both of its side walls with its neighbors leaving only the front side and rear side for light and ventilation. This being a major limitation, the overall volume of the house is broken into smaller parts and staggered to maximize the external surface area. The home front elevation thus provides opportunities to create window openings and doors not just on the front but also side faces of the house so that all interior spaces receive ample daylight and proper ventilation. This was further accentuated with a light shaft made right at the center of the house that also sports a double-height vertical green wall.

Modern Front Elevation Design

Staggering of volumes also provided the overall structure to have many open-outdoor spaces at various heights and levels. These levels were used to create built-in planters at many places while also as landscape terraces. The staggering further allowed many smaller spaces to be formed in the front part of the house thus providing a very distinctive style and an interesting character to the overall form. As the neighboring plots share the side walls with the house, the staggering also allowed for breaks with the adjoining buildings. This allowed the volumes and material finishes to bend thus creating a perceptive depth to the exterior elevation design. The result is a fresh approach to the modern house front elevation design which maximizes light & ventilation & created an interesting play in the elevation façade of the house .

Planning & Architecture of the House

House is designed for a family of four members thus the requirement was to create a spacious living space with ample daylight, ventilation, and also opportunities for landscape terraces for outdoor experiences.

While the living spaces of the house are planned on two floors in a duplex format, the overall experience of social bonding is kept very tight and compact. A very large double-height space is created in the central living area in which all the private bedrooms open up or look into (from the upper floor). This allows all the members of the family to gather in the central space more frequently while maintaining their private individual spaces. Thus, this floor becomes the most active part of the house.

The public area (Living / Dining) is planned as a fluid open space working in conjunction with an open kitchen.

The swing seating included in the living area.

Internal stairs connecting the two floors are planned right in the center of this public space to maintain very strong connectivity between the two.

The upper floor of the duplex is primarily comprised of private spaces and bedrooms with their private terraces and balconies. All the three rooms on the upper floor look into the central double-height space thus giving a strong sense of social connection.

For better connectivity, double-height space and a floating walkway are designed in the center that overlaps the living areas with the private rooms.

Innovative Solutions to Modern day challenges

Modern urban house design is one that embraces, a unique design approach to creatively meet challenges of culture, societies & context. It is therefore not a specific style that defines modern home design; each project comes up with its unique expectation and needs.
