As mentioned in the last article Glass in Residential building. We are writing about the beautiful Eco-friendly building concept “Landscape in Residential architecture“.
As we are talking about landscape architecture, We can know about how it has become a useful form of design where aesthetics and functionality both work simultaneously on the grounds of preserving ecology as well as bringing out the beauty of nature within the space.
While constructing a house proper landscape planning and architecture with the sustainability concept and approach helps to make a conducive and responsive environment. This article is predicated on the theoretical framework of the connection between landscape design in planning and development in urban design. Every decade there have been profound challenges as the architects, we have to address the approach towards sustainability while designing landscape architecture.
Landscape relates mainly to land-forms, vegetation, water, and climate. It is an art of arranging elements to create a healthy breathing atmosphere, vibrant community, and good outdoor space.
As we are talking about landscape in residential building, Here I like to recall our old article balcony designs which tells you how landscaping could be incorporated within indoor spaces to visualize the feel of an external garden. It can create a healthy environment with elements like lawns, gardens, flowers, beds, etc.
Structures such as a seating wall can define a perimeter, or a hedge may serve as a living wall. Pathways bordered by planting or trees create the feeling corridors. An arbor, pergola, or overhanging tree branch may suggest a ceiling.
Landscaping improves the quality of life. It cools down the temperature, provides physical and psychological benefits.
One of the famous architect Hawthorn said: “Indoor and outdoor spaces should be integrated and flow one into the other”.
Outdoor living space balances with the related elements in the landscape, also enhance the natural beauty.
Landscape lowers air conditioning use. People are drawn to and gathered in the open spaces of a garden. Seating can be arranged along with the shades of thick vertical line landscape also sheltered from the direct sunlight. Seating areas with it gives a good and pleasant view.
It cleans the dust, smoke particles, carbon dioxide and increases oxygen. A well-designed walkway attracts the eye with a sense of movement, drawing visitors with a beckoning further. While designing, we should be able to analyze the dimensional depth of any designs and achieve various ways in implementing those to create the functionality within the space. The pathway can be sheltered using pergola or create an eclectic path by using a mixture of paving materials.
Architectural pool, an attractive part of the landscape element creates a very stylish look throughout the house. This design tends to be viewed as more formal and includes long straight lines and sharp angles. They create a balance between your home and outdoor living space while providing function and a focal point for the yard.
Free form pools tend to create a more relaxed atmosphere through the use of curves and smooth flowing lines. It is a more non-traditional look that you would associate with a natural pond.
We are living in an era where we are facing lots of health issues due to air, water, soil pollution which is attracting many problems due to the deputation of forests and increasing industrial activity. As architects, we recommend evolving designs and bringing out nature within those designs to minimize the hazards for the near future. That could be followed in various ways such as :
Water features, the sounds of a waterfall will calm down the mind and harmony will be created within oneself. The pump will save the water by recycling.
Walking along the landscape will increase longevity.
Retaining walls will prevent soil sliding when it rains. Thus, it is an integral part of the landscape.
As architects, we should have distinctive skills and training in designing with living systems and materials that are innovative and thoughtful towards the ecology of an area. These are a few easy steps to balance nature and designs without losing its beauty and retaining the true form of modern architecture through landscaping designing. Using Eco-friendly materials in order to create landscape designs, thoughts have been proven quite challenging and we as the best architects in Bangalore have achieved those difficult designs.
As we are talking about materials, In the next article we can talk about one of the main material that is used in construction i.e., Metals used in Residential s building. For this stay tuned. Keep visiting the Design thoughts architects page for more updates.
In this Glass in Residential building article we like to give some design ideologies about Glass and how it can be utilized uniquely in Residential building. Glass is one of the most favored architectural element that can be molded to suit its functionality and also it serves as a decorative piece of art.
Glass is a fascinating material and usually available in most places in both, conventional and contemporary architecture. Its function in the construction industry has proved it to be the best. The sleek and transparent nature of the material gels well with cement, mud or metal.
Glass has gained popularity in architecture because of its vivid properties, especially in residences:
Hardness and Brittleness – It is a tough material and has great impact resistance against an applied load. However, at the same time, it is a brittle material as it breaks immediately when subjected to load.
Weather Resistance – It is weather resistant because it can resist and bear the reaction of rain, sun, and wind. It has good capacity in case of absorption, reflection and refracting light. Hence it enables us to regulate and influence natural light. This helps in positively influencing our daily activities leading to better health.
Insulation – It is a superb insulator against heat, electricity and electromagnetic wave because of its good insulating response against light transmission.
Chemical Resistance – It can withstand the effect of the reaction under different environmental conditions or acidic effects.
Color and Shape Varieties – It can be given any shape and any color, and variety and is out there in the market depending upon customer’s use, dimensional requirements, and safety requirement.
Transparency – Transparency is one such property of glass that creates a visible connection with the surface world. With the arrival of technology, clear glass also can be altered, making it opaque.
In conclusion, I can say “A city’s progress is often decided according to its infrastructure”, but it is really important to consider all the factors and know what needs to come up, and where to come up. As architects, we should also focus on Eco – friendly. To get the update regarding how we can use landscape or Eco -friendly architecture stay tuned we will update in our next coming article.

As you all know most of the people who want to construct house prefer Concrete blocks as a prefabricated material because it produces maximum radiant heat within the building. Concrete blocks mainly used to build walls. Concrete pieces are made by materials that are utilized for building dividers. Like bricks, the squares are joined at the side a mortar consisting of cement, sand, and water. The squares are empty interior to permit for steel bars and mortar filling.
Despite the fact that the primary squares were fabricated by hand, these days they are created in a robotized way and thousands of squares can be made per hour. Each unit can be manufactured on-site by bricklayers.
The concrete commonly utilized to create concrete squares may be a blend of powdered Portland cement, water, sand, and rock. The fundamental block has been changing to supply more total arrangements, such as waterproofing.
A few current models that are added to the substances will join to the blend. It also prevents the section of water by extending the surface pressure of the square by arranging it.
Concrete blocks as a rule related with self-construction and low-cost lodging gives the number of spaces to investigate past utilitarian plans.
Most of the modern engineering nowadays use concrete as the most efficient fabric. In any case, due to the improvement of building technology and design, concrete has to be created as a building fabric to overcome its shortcomings. Expansion, the requirement for accomplishing maintainability in buildings has a coordinating effect on concrete’s development as concrete which is considered one as a major modern request within the building materials industry.
Compound – Solid wall block is defined as those blocks which have a core wide area greater than 25% of gross area having one or more holes open at both sides. The most commonly used concrete blocks have a nominal length of 40cm, a height of 20cm and nominal width of 8,10,15 and 20cms.
The material color itself creates a pattern when it is applied on the exterior surface. material is very natural & goes well with part of nature. Here, no additional effort is required in making a beautiful structure.
Lightweight, Precast, foam concrete building material suitable for producing concrete masonry units (CMU) like blocks. They are composed of quartz sand, calcined gypsum, lime, cement, water, and aluminum powder. AAC is cured under heat and pressure in an autoclave.
It’s a great idea to enhance the external surface with the concrete blocks as they form a beautiful texture surface in a grey finish. Thus the external surface looks attractive and stands out from the surrounding elements.
The concrete block wall is erected with a mixture of concrete & reinforcement steel.
These are some simple ideas of Architecture that can deliver good solutions without being expensive. In conclusion I would like to mention couple of important merits of concrete blocks over the bricks. They form stronger walls than bricks. A house which is built using Concrete blocks can last up to 100 years.
Are you searching for a good quality tile? Haven’t you got any of them despite multiple searches? Haven’t any building materials firm offered you the best one till now? Don’t worry, Athangudi tiles has a special features. To know more read complete article.
The architects always choose these tiles for residential and commercial projects. Because it is essentially made from cement, what sets these tiles apart is that they are pressed and molded by hand on glass surfaces. Athangudi falls in the Chettinad region, where the palatial mansions of the Chettiars are filled with these specialized tiles.
The affluent Chettiars had their mansions kitted out with products from all over the world. Tiles from Spain, teak from Burma, enamel from Czechoslovakia, marble from Italy, and ceramic tiles from Minton. While traditional South Indian homes had floors made of clay or stone, the homes of the Chettiars were a veritable melange of cultures and products from all over the world that included floors sporting tiles that were easy to manage and came with a glazed, fine finish. Walk into Athangudi, and you will enter the world of color. Small and big Homes contains with the famous intricately patterned and gloriously hued tiles.
The factories are not large; most of them have a few workstations where craftsmen are hard at work using their hands to mold and craft these richly patterned tiles. What makes them so alluring even today? It’s the process and the fact that they are eco-friendly.
The freshly finished tiles are kept immersed in water for around 8 to 12 days and dried for 24 hours to make them tightly knit and compact. At the end of this process, the tile slides away from its resident glass frame and is dried out completely by covering them with locally-sourced rice husks. The natural oils in the husk are absorbed by the tiles, giving them a natural sheen and glazed finish.
Athangudi tiles are considered sui generis because of their high durability, affordability, and their ability to be customized.
Although they come in a limited range of colors like red, green, and mustard, among others, they are not fried or baked, which makes them easy to maintain. In fact, the colors become brighter with use and additionally, coconut oil can be used to keep them shining.
The tiles are also environmentally friendly with no chemicals in them, which makes them ideal for urban living. Due to these features & Eco-friendly nature many prefer this tiles. Architects first give preference for these tiles
Balcony design are made to resemble the front facade. Balconies are being increasingly utilized as additional living spaces around the world. In this article I would like to educate the people who want to build their dream homes. In addition to that I would like to highlight the importance of the balcony in a living home.
In this project, we have given a client a very good idea about the balcony and executed thoroughly as it is like a plan. The defining minimalism is open space. The balcony in this design fans out as the main design element of the elevation. With porous openings on the walls, this balcony does not compromise on the light and ventilation falling into the house.
We introduce balcony design concepts that could be surrounded by greenery. Balconies are projections taken out from the surface which serves the purpose of sunlight, a space of shelter. These balconies are usually used for small leisure activities, Balconies are normally small scab projection enclosed by walls. They can be treated differently according to the requirement like seating, balcony wall enclosure, and materials treatment. Balconies are also called sit-outs . They can be used to relax, breathe fresh air and view the surroundings outside.
This is double-height balcony. The balcony design here is merged as a part of the living which gives the user a dual experience at the same time. The extension of living into the balcony with a double-height also magnifies the space. A heavenly space that attracts the user’s attention as soon as they enter the main door towards the living. This balcony also has a balance between openness and enclosure, opacity and transparency.
In his house, the client needed a greenery touch in his household. So, we decided to place the natural plants in the Balcony. So that the client can enjoy his mornings with beautiful sunlight & in nights with cool breeze weather. We also made a space where people can sit around. This concept of a balcony also called a sit-out balcony.
The main uniqueness of this sit-out is it gives us a pleasure to enjoy the surroundings and the view outside. It also gives us immense joy, happiness, and good health. The plants around the balcony give us oxygen and the luscious weather makes the environment pleasant and cool. The cool breeze from the balcony makes the house enjoyable to live. It stands out as a prominent feature enabling the user to enjoy the lush green outdoors.
Here it is packing the balcony with lush plants, so as to create a pleasant atmosphere. The wooden ceramic flooring amps up the look of the balcony with its natural wooden texture. The female doors further add up ample light and ventilation to the house and also adds more carpet area to the house. Built-in seating is suggested to not worry about the high winds or rain.
In conclusion, I would like to suggest the clients who want to build a dream home to go for the Balcony area reason being you can enjoy morning sunlight by holding a cup of morning coffee, sitting on the chair and reading some book that feels like you have got a real meaning for “Good Morning“. In the Night, we can use a Balcony for late-night hangouts by installing an outdoor pendant.

Check out these layouts where dining spaces have been successfully integrated within the kitchen areas.
KITCHEN cum DINING
Kitchens play a vital role in Architecture design. Kitchens are spaces that require considerable thought when one is planning them. It is essential to spend some time working through the design as one needs a functional space that also reflects the user’s tastes. It’s the designer’s job to transform a functional space into something comfortable and beautiful. Kitchens should be durable and look great.
The kitchen and dining concept with bold colors furniture and light shades of walls, adds beauty to space. Usually, there is hesitation in using colors for Kitchens for fear that it will overpower the space, making it look cramped. However, consider the above kitchen, and one can see how beautifully coordinated it is. The light beige colors merge with the patterned wood to give it a charming look.
A closer look at the cabinets and you will notice how the shutters have been designed for a neat appearance. The handle-less design is quite trendy these days, and why wouldn’t it be? Considering that it gives a flawless and stylish look to any room, it should be used extensively in homes.
Quartz is increasingly being used for counter-tops in the kitchen. The sleek look and the fact that it is more durable than granite gives it an edge over the latter material. Here, the designers have used an off-white color for the counter, which contributes wonderfully towards pulling the entire look of the kitchen together. INTERIOR DESIGN of the Kitchen and Dining should be perfect to have food.
In conclusion, Kitchens are the heart of house which draws the family in with the promise of food. So, these were some of the design concepts to integrate the kitchen with the dining room.

Minimalist Architecture
Minimalism or minimalist art can be seen as extending the abstract idea that art should have its own reality and not be an imitation of some other thing.
Minimalism is also important to the visual arts and design. While it may seem like a simple principle, achieving excellence in the Minimalist style requires great skill. It asks artists, designers, and architects to break things down into their essential elements, using simple forms to produce harmonious work.
Minimalism describes movements in varied kinds of art and style, particularly visual art and music, wherever the work is stripped right down to its most elementary options. As a selected movement within the arts it’s known with developments in the post–World War II Western Art, most powerfully with Yankee visual arts within the late Nineteen Sixties and early Seventies. distinguished artists related to this movement embrace Donald Judd, John McLaughlin, Agnes Martin, Dan Flavin, Robert Morris, Anne Truitt, and Frank Stella. it’s stock-still within the subtractive aspects of Modernism and is usually understood as a reaction against art movement and a bridge to genre art practices. The terms have expanded to cover a movement in music that options repetition and iteration, as within the compositions of Los Angeles four-card monte Young, Terry James Whitcomb Riley, composer, Philip Glass, and President Adams. Minimalist compositions area unit typically referred to as systems music. (See conjointly Postminimalism). The term “minimalist” is usually applied conversationally to designate something that is spare or stripped to its necessities. it’s conjointly been wont to describe the plays and novels of a writer, the films of Henry M. Robert Bresson, the stories of Raymond Carver, and even the auto styles of Colin Chapman. The word was initially employed in English within the early twentieth century to explain the Mensheviks.
Minimalist style
The reconstruction of Ludwig Mie’s van der Rohe’s German collapsible shelter in an urban center. The term artistic movement is additionally wont to describe a trend in style and design wherever within the subject is reduced to its necessary components.
In this project, the style involves the utilization of straightforward design components while not Ornamentation or Decoration.
The content and variety of the look is condensed to its base necessities and divulges actuality essence of design by creating use of two key components that’s Sun breakers and C-Projections.
Minimalist style has been extremely influenced by Japanese ancient style and design. Additionally, the work of First State Stijn artists may be a major supply of reference for this sort of labor.
First State Stijn expanded the ideas that might be expressed by mistreatment basic components like lines and planes organized in terribly explicit manners.
Designer Ludwig Mie’s van der Rohe adopted the locution “Less is more” to explain his aesthetic maneuver of composing the many necessary parts of a building to make a sway of maximum simplicity, by achievement each component and detail to serve multiple visual and useful functions (such as planning a floor to conjointly function the radiator, or an enormous hearth to conjointly house the bathroom).
Designer engineer adopted the engineer’s goal of “Doing a lot of with less”, however his issues were adjusted towards technology and engineering instead of aesthetics. the same sentiment was industrial designer Dieter Rams’ locution, “Less however better” tailored from van der Rohe. The structure uses comparatively straightforward elegant designs; ornamentation’s area unit quality instead of amount.
The structure’s beauty is additionally determined by twiddling with lighting, mistreatment the essential geometric shapes as outlines, mistreatment solely one form or a little variety of like shapes for parts for style unity, mistreatment tasteful non-fussy bright color combos, typically natural textures and colors, and clean and fine finishes. mistreatment typically the wonder of natural patterns on stone protective cover and real wood encapsulated at intervals ordered simplified structures, and real metal manufacturing a simplified however prestigious design and interior style.
Might use color brightness balance and distinction between surface colors to enhance visual aesthetics. The structure would typically have industrial and time vogue utilities (lamps, stoves, stairs, technology, etc.), neat and straight parts (like walls or stairs) that seem to be machined with machines, flat or nearly flat roofs, pleasing negative areas, and huge windows to let in a lot of daylight. This and fantasy might have contributed to the late twentieth-century futurist design style, and trendy home ornament. trendy minimalist home design with its inessential internal walls removed in all probability have a diode to the recognition of the open set up room and lounge vogue.
Another trendy master WHO exemplifies reductive ideas is Luis Barragan. In artistic movement, the subject area designers pay special attention to the affiliation between excellent planes, elegant lighting, careful thought of the void areas left by the removal of three-dimensional shapes from a subject area style. A lot of engaging trying minimalist home styles don’t seem to be really minimalist, as a result of these use costlier building materials and finishes, and area unit comparatively larger.
