AN HO CONSTRUCTION
This architectural design project pertains to creating a residential villa that departs from the conventional approach of flaunting its value through intricate designs. Rather, the team is opting for a distinct route by employing minimalistic aesthetics and building materials that exude a sense of pure beauty. Their objective is to offer the inhabitants a living space that ensures comfort and safety by utilizing gentle, warm, non-hazardous, and eco-friendly materials. The design accentuates the genuine worth of the edifice.
The property is situated in a quaint township that predominantly comprises of low-lying residential dwellings. The construction team purposefully restricted the edifice's elevation to two floors, opting for a modest and understated approach that sought to integrate seamlessly with the environs. Their objective was to make an impact that was both conspicuous and unobtrusive while introducing a fresh outlook to the neighborhood and cultivating a feeling of "homegrown inventiveness”.
The design of the structure is highly sophisticated, utilizing ingenious stacking and overlapping techniques, complemented by appropriate cutting ratios. The result is a visually captivating building that appears both stable and spectacular. Moreover, the exterior walls are of a pristine white, featuring generously sized window openings that mimic a glowing box, affording residents picturesque views of the natural surroundings, including the distant mountains, the sunrise, and sunset.
