The proposed residence for S. Makhan Singh at Jaja Kalan, designed by Hothico Architects, reflects a refined blend of classic form and contemporary detailing. The architecture demonstrates a strong visual identity, balancing clean lines with bold geometric shapes and elegant proportions. The façade integrates a variety of materials — including stone cladding, textured plaster, and wood-finished elements — that create a layered and dynamic appearance. The dual-tone color scheme of warm beige and deep brown complements the building’s scale and enhances its sense of permanence and sophistication.

From a planning standpoint, the residence is designed to accommodate modern family needs while maintaining architectural dignity and flow. Large arched and rectangular windows offer natural ventilation and generous light penetration throughout the space. The curved balcony and flat roof elements contrast with vertical columns, creating a visual tension that is both inviting and impressive. The overall structure takes full advantage of the corner plot, with thoughtful landscaping and a secure boundary wall that enhances privacy without compromising aesthetic appeal.
