This proposed residence for the Hothi family in Noormahal embodies a harmonious blend of classical symmetry and modern spatial functionality. The front elevation reveals a strong vertical alignment, emphasized by twin columns extending to the second floor, adding a regal and balanced character. The use of proportionally large windows brings in abundant natural light while maintaining a sense of privacy through strategic placement. The flat roof and bold parapet give the structure a stately presence, while the pergola-covered terrace adds both aesthetic charm and outdoor utility.

Materiality plays a pivotal role in establishing the home’s visual identity. The façade features a combination of cream plaster and warm-toned brick insets, providing textural contrast and depth. Decorative wrought iron railing, classical column detailing, and generous balconies on both floors contribute to the sense of grandeur. A recessed garage with a wooden entrance door blends seamlessly into the overall elevation, preserving the elegance while ensuring functionality. Landscaping at the front—with manicured shrubs and colorful flowerbeds—enhances curb appeal and adds a touch of vibrancy to the otherwise neutral palette.
