40x50 Fusion Home Design in Bangalore: Neoclassical Meets Contemporary on a Corner Plot

Corner plot elevation

Why settle for a single elevation style when you can embrace a unique fusion? This was the intriguing proposition our clients brought to our architects in Bangalore. We specialise in crafting fusion homes that exude exclusivity, blending two distinct styles into a harmonious whole. 

Our project is a captivating blend of classical and contemporary elements, a unique fusion that sets it apart and piques our audience's interest. 

Project factfile:

Plot dimension: 40’ x 50’ plot home

Site area: 2000 sq. ft. 

Site orientation: South-east corner plot 

Location: Lake view, Electronic City

Planning through spatial renders

Understanding our project is made effortless with the use of spatial renders. The planning for the G+1+terrace residence is straightforward, yet it creates a sense of comfort within the interiors, thanks to the open planning and cut-outs that enhance the feeling of spaciousness. 

The entry to the private duplex home is conveniently located alongside the parking, ensuring ease and comfort for the residents.

We take pride in the natural light that floods into the house, creating a spacious and uplifting environment that inspires the family to enjoy their living space. 

As this is a duplex-style residence, we have maximised the space to include a double-height area, adding luxury and lavishness to a 40’ x 50’ plot home, ensuring the comfort and ease of our residents. 

Here we can observe that the dining space is adjacent to the living room. The kitchen is connected near the dining area with a Puja area nook. 

The wash basin area is easily visible from the living room, so we designed it like a dressing mirror with a wash area and storage areas. 

We opted for a U-shaped kitchen with enough circulation space from the dining table and the cooking area. It does not obstruct the view in any way and also gives enough space throughout. 

As we move to the first floor, there are bedrooms and a dedicated gym area. In the bedrooms, we include a study area, dressing areas, other requirements, and walk-in closets. 

Each space on this floor opens to a balcony that keeps this floor well-lit and brings that necessary indoor-outdoor connection. It also becomes a significant part of the elevation design. 

Balconies overlook the rest of the spaces below.

Elevation exploration

As this is a corner plot residence, the balconies projecting from each room became an ideal part of the design. The elements of neoclassicism here are the cornice detail in the pillars. We also added segmental arch elements that give each balcony an aesthetic look. 

We add the sloped projections, cement plaster, and glass railing detail for the contemporary touch. The wooden finish aluminium composite panels also give a modern and sleek look. 

Neo-Classical Elements:

Tall columns and pilasters with detailed capital-like forms.

Symmetry and verticality in the façade design.

Arched niches with keystone-style details.

Cornices and mouldings that give a classical elegance.

Contemporary Touches:

Large glass windows framed with dark aluminium sections.

Minimacolour palette: Clean whites, grey stone textures, and dark roofing.

Straight-edged balconies with sleek railings.

Modern roofing in sloped metal sheets contrasts with the classical form.

We can also observe other distinctive features like a mixed material palette including white plaster, textured stone, wood accents, and glass. The overhanging roofs and canopies provide a bold silhouette. Planters integrated into balconies and hanging pots bring liveliness. The fencing blends with the classic theme in stone and white railing design.

Wrapping up

This neoclassical fusion residence in Bangalore is one of our unique fusion projects. We brought in the inputs of the client's preferences to include both the elevation styles without any hassle. Incorporating neoclassical with hints of contemporary was new, bringing it into the final elevation concept. 

We have curated several neoclassical residences on our blog page for you to explore. Check out our Instagram page too.

5000 sq.ft East-Facing Vastu-Compliant Traditional Courtyard Home in Tamil Nadu by Design Thoughts Architects

Corner view of Mr Raja and Mrs Uthayadurga's residence 

The client is the dreamer of their house, and this home we designed is their personal sanctuary. It tells the inhabitants' story while impressively balancing functionality and aesthetics, all within a sustainable framework. This is a G+1 residence that is rooted in traditional South Indian architecture and elevated by thoughtful spatial planning. Nested between the farms, this home is a stunning example of timeless tradition. 

Project fact file:

Site orientation: North-facing plot

House orientation: East-facing home 

Farm area: 30 cents 

Site area: 42’ x 42’ home 

Built-up area: 5000 sq. ft. approx.  

Project location: Kallakurichi, Tamil Nadu

Project architects: Ar. Madhuri, Ar. Akash R P, Ar. Harshavardhan 

Spatial planning 

The green farms of Kallakurichi, with a dimension of 62’ x 225’, invite us to a welcoming ambience, home at the centre. As the plot for the house is a perfect square, we were able to follow Vastu principles efficiently. Elements like a courtyard in the Brahmastana that opens to an east-facing entrance, a south-east kitchen and a south-west master bedroom were fit into perfect squares inside the home.

The clients liked a home with a traditional touch, which was also why we brought in the courtyard. Other aspects that the clients were particularly interested in included an outdoor kitchen and a dedicated Puja room with enough space around it for walking, similar to the circumbulatory path in temples. 

The Puja area, thoughtfully tucked in a serene corner of the residence, resonates with spiritual intention. It is surrounded by soft lighting and traditional wooden elements and offers a peaceful retreat for daily rituals. Its proximity to the courtyard ensures a constant connection with nature, an essential aspect in Vastu-compliant home design.

The entrance is greeted by a large verandah, a transitional area that lowers heat gain and creates a welcoming threshold. The focal point in the east-facing home is the open-to-sky courtyard, which attracts light, air, and spiritual energy. Additionally, it acts as an anchor around which the remainder of the house develops naturally.

The cut-out for the courtyard on the first floor is with other parts of the home.

In the planning, semi-public features like the formal living room, foyer, and courtyard lounging areas are mixed in with more private spaces like the family lounge, bedroom suites, and puja area on the ground floor.

A special highlight of the first floor is its transition space: a semi-public lobby that connects the bedrooms and opens to a generous terrace. This fluidity of circulation encourages relaxation and informal interactions among family members.

In addition to its aesthetic and spatial strengths, the G+1 residence is naturally ventilated and daylight-optimised. Deep overhangs protect the interiors from heat gain, allowing sunlight to softly filter in. Using terracotta tiles, brick masonry, and shaded courtyards reduces the need for artificial cooling, making the home environmentally sensitive and cost-effective in the long run.

Developing the exterior elevation

To develop the final elevation concept of the home, we showcased two different options for the clients in the same style. 

An alternative option for the home with similar material accents 

The final elevation concept stands out with its striking Kerala-style sloping rooflines adorned in terracotta tiles, a visual tribute to regional architectural heritage. Every element, from the intricately designed wooden columns to the tiled gables and jaali detailing, has been curated to evoke a sense of nostalgia. The architecture honours timeless traditions, yet feels light, airy, and relevant to today’s family needs.

The final renders reflect grandeur in their massing and embrace tradition with the eaves, sloped projections and an elaborate compound wall. The large openings in the first-floor family lounge and the balcony opening significantly shape the elevation. The supporting columns are ornamented in wood with intricate details that finish the final touches for the elevation detailing. 

Wrapping up

Every space in a home is unique, even though many homes are usually east-facing. This is one such home where we curated each space with the client’s dream in mind. The clients were also happy with how the elevation and the plan fulfilled their long-lost dream of owning a home in their hometown.
