Exterior
What is the first thing that you see in a property? Its exterior isn’t?
So, don’t you think it’s very necessary to have a good exterior look of your building to create a lasting impression on the potential buyers and also give you a space which can be flaunted?
A well designed exterior will not only increase the value of your property but also show that you have put time and effort in making your home look its best. It is best to decide and design the exterior of your place before actual construction as it saves money and also gives you an opportunity to make necessary changes while constructing.
Designing an exterior of a place is a very arduous task as a number of factors such as, the floor plan, geographical location, architectural principles and the clients taste and preferences have to be kept in mind.
It involves putting lot of specific knowledge and is best done by experienced architects who will think 3 dimensionally to create a design which is in tandem with the floor plan.
Our experienced architects follow proper steps in planning such as first defining the project goals and then using them to shape and design your exterior designing strategy.
For example, if we want a simple modern exterior we have to include elements that are sustainable and give an elegant visual appeal.
If we aim to make our den energy efficient we need to consider factors such as using elements having thermal properties, such as installing solar panels on roofs etc.
A number of factors such as your local weather conditions, environmental factors, neighborhood, etc., all of them play a significant role in deciding the exterior of your space. For example if your home is located in a topography which experiences heavy rainfall then we need to add elements like sloped roofs to prevent seepage.
Our designers do a lot of research before the final design process starts. We call it pre-design process in which we try and understand our client’s requirement, the site’s topography and also the project requirements. We conduct site analysis, check all necessary government regulations and permissions required to create a conceptual design.
Then comes the actual design process in which we put our space planning studies into action. It involves massive drawings both 2D and 3 D to give our clients a clear picture to understand.
The final stage is the design development stage which involves deciding on the materials, finishes, elements and how they are to be assembled. Exterior designing involves working through 3 D models, elevations and details such as railings, placement of windows, waterproofing, drainage, size and shape of exterior balconies , external claddings and a lot more because all of these will eventually decide the look of your house. For example, how a placement of a window in a room will look when we see it from outside, what materials should be used for windows that will enhance them from outside as well. We will provide you numerous options of different materials which will look good on exteriors and also be durable to bear the brunt of harsh weather conditions.
Elevations should be designed in a way that they do not interfere with other’s privacy. We aim to design your space in a way, that your front façade appears welcoming and pleasing to the eyes. Adding green elements in the façade by including vertical gardens etc.
Our architects aim to understand the nuances of your place so as to design an exterior that best suits you in terms of design style, aesthetics, sustainability and also suits your budget.
