Proposed Residence for Balwinder Singh
This contemporary two-storey residence, featured in Hothico Architects’ portfolio, exemplifies a refined blend of modern design language and practical spatial composition. The facade leverages horizontal layering through subtle banding, complemented by a well-balanced palette of beige, grey, and white tones. A combination of flat planes and sharp vertical elements such as the column and vertical wooden fins introduces a rhythmic contrast that enhances visual depth and character. The use of clean lines and boxed window projections ensures a crisp, geometric identity to the structure while maintaining a grounded warmth through wooden accents.
From a functional standpoint, the design addresses key residential needs with sophistication. The double-height entrance canopy paired with recessed balconies creates shaded outdoor transitions that support the tropical context. Thoughtful detailing in the railing patterns and the seamless integration of recessed lighting under soffits reinforce the design’s focus on livability. The large, framed windows not only draw natural light deep into the interiors but also promote cross-ventilation, echoing Hothico Architects’ commitment to climate-responsive solutions.
