Balcony design

An overview of projects, products and exclusive articles about balcony design

Yet, for the contemporary city dweller, these few square meters represent the final frontier of personal sanctuary. In our practice, we view these compact outdoor volumes not as peripheral appendages, but as the most potent opportunities for architectural soul-searching. This project stands as a definitive testament to the "tiny but transformative," a surgical intervention within the urban fabric that has yielded a humongous impact on a family’s daily ritual of rejuvenation.

High-End 4 BHK Apartment Interiors At Ahmedabad

Pleasing Interiors is all about the right proportions of material and textures along with balancing client’s requirements & an effective program. This is a 4-member family apartment having a total carpet area of 2200 sq. ft. The initial brief of the client was that it should be stylish, subtle & under-stated luxury but at the same time it should have its separate functional value. @panjwani vinay Our motive was to make the entire interiors, the overall look of the space enhance the overall lifestyle of the occupants. Talking about the material palette, we haven’t really played around with colors, it’s basically shades of greys & browns and more of the textures, because we feel that the original texture of...

Narrow House in Ahmedabad

Large plots are not essential for lavish homes, but thoughtful space planning can break the limitations of small plots making it breathable, inviting adequate natural light and ventilation. Cradled in the posh residential area of Ahmedabad, Paldi, this Narrow House is a unique example of balancing the yin and the yang of the architecture as well as interiors incorporating nature within the build forms. @panjwani.vinay @panjwani.vinay On the East of this 2,600 sq. ft. plot, lies a narrow road in the front, a common wall on the South that blocked Wind & Natural Light. This created worries in the mind of the client. Also, the plot is surrounded by neighboring bungalows with very less margins. But the experience and the expertise... More

Situated in the vicinity of the housing estate of prefabricated buildings, it is shaped by applying the principle of modifying the cubature of a typical building from that time and giving it uniqueness and architectural features of a "superhero" in its location that differs in quality and standard from the surroundings, creating a new model for further transformation of the district and this part of the city.
