A client named Senthil proposed the idea of building an ultra-luxury house on a 10800 sq. ft at Pondy
00:28.5
00:33.3
He asked whether we can do it. We said YES!
00:33.4
00:38.2
We took it as a challenge and designed it
00:38.3
00:43.1
We'll see about it in the video
00:50.8
00:52.9
Hello, I am Dameem Ansari from Ansari Architects
00:53.0
00:57.8
We'll see about the front elevation first.
00:57.9
01:02.7
We designed it in the contemporary style using vertical and horizontal elements.
01:02.8
01:10.2
The client like earthen colours like red based which we used as the theme here
01:10.3
01:15.1
He wanted it to be the theme of the whole house
01:15.2
01:29.6
So, we used deep browns, dark beige and a touch of gold to add as the luxury element.
01:29.7
01:35.3
These are the main colour palette of the house.
01:35.4
01:40.2
We have used a complete red composite panel in the front elevation
01:40.3
01:45.1
The red colour fundermax HPL panel
01:45.2
01:50.0
We have given a beautiful wooden look with it.
01:50.1
01:57.5
You can also see the fins, vertical planes, projections and mural designs to balance the fins
01:57.6
02:02.4
As soon as you enter the ground floor
02:02.5
02:07.3
We have created a large three cars parking space
02:07.4
02:12.2
You can see the dominating red colour palette in the ground floor
02:12.3
02:23.0
We have also placed a sliding gate outside, so the inside will be more spacious
02:23.1
02:27.9
We have also given two staircases. One connects the first floor and the other
02:28.0
02:40.2
on the ground floor with a beautiful luxurious lobby like a 5-star hotel as per the client's wish
02:40.3
02:45.1
You can enter through the lobby also.
02:45.2
02:50.0
In the car parking walls, we have given red colour granites
02:50.1
02:54.9
with antique finish
02:55.0
02:59.8
As red is our client's favourite colour, it'll be predominant in this house.
02:59.9
03:04.7
We have also created certain interesting features here
03:04.8
03:15.2
Like the colourful metre board box and the decorative look behind it
03:15.3
03:22.5
We have given a shelf and a metallic mural and a textured finish background
03:22.6
03:27.4
Near the main door, we have provided a stepped shoe rack
03:27.5
03:32.3
It also has a stepping down for you to sit and wear your shoes.
03:32.4
03:37.2
You can see a lot of detailing here. Also, the car parking floor is very easy to clean.
03:37.3
03:42.1
We never use paper blocks as it is so much hassle.
03:42.2
03:47.0
That is why we use easy to clean ceramic floor.
03:48.7
03:56.5
Before seeing the ground floor, let's look into the first floor as it is the main one.
03:58.2
04:09.9
The gate is very stylish,finished with fundermax which blends well with the elevation concept.
04:10.0
04:14.8
We have also done a trick in the first floor.
04:14.9
04:19.7
We have lowered the first floor hall by 2 feet.
04:19.8
04:24.6
So, when climbing the stairs it doesn't look very tedious.
04:24.7
04:29.5
We have also created some interesting features in the climbing way.
04:29.6
04:34.4
In this house, we have created a decorative panel board
04:34.5
04:47.6
when you look at it, you won't feel like you're climbing to the first floor. The reduction also helps to it.
04:47.7
04:52.5
You have a beautiful veranda with a glass handrail near the main entrance door
04:52.6
04:57.4
Next to the door, there is a Butchwork glass which is very thick
04:57.5
05:02.3
It is around 25mm, nearly 1 and half inch in thickness
05:02.4
05:07.2
We have given wave patterns in it. There are no grills here.
05:07.3
05:12.1
Because this glass is strong and unbreakable, as it is done in layers.
05:12.2
05:17.0
We have special vendors for it and have used it in many projects.
05:17.1
05:21.9
This glass gives a very rich look to the house.
05:22.0
05:26.8
As you can see we have given a little camouflage to be tinted.
05:26.9
05:31.7
Here you can see a beautiful Aluminum Fergolas
05:31.8
05:36.6
it is in wooden finish
05:36.7
05:41.5
It is a very important feature that balances the elevation.
05:43.8
05:51.4
As the client asked, we have achieved a very spacious and long hall.
05:51.5
05:56.3
The lowering technique combined with the ceiling height made this possible
05:56.4
06:06.1
We have achieved it and the size of the hall is 25ft/13ft.
06:06.2
06:11.0
You can see the dining area directly. It is a continous space.
06:11.1
06:15.9
West side of the hall, has a beautiful pooja room
06:16.0
06:20.8
which is integrated into the wall along with two niches and hangings lights
06:20.9
06:25.7
The floor of the pooja room is separate
06:25.8
06:30.6
The living room floor is Diana marble lookalike and for pooja room we have given wooden flooring
06:32.8
06:39.6
The glass door with a traditional design is fitted for the pooja room.
06:39.7
06:44.5
The whole decor of the hall has the same colour palette
06:44.6
06:49.4
red, diana marble lookalike tiles and many more.
06:49.5
07:01.6
Since it should be under the budget, we didn't use Italian marble. But these 4x4ft vitrified tiles look exactly the same.
07:01.7
07:08.5
Since there are roto patterns, you'd get an interesting natural look.
07:08.6
07:13.4
So, we choose the Diana marble tile
07:13.5
07:22.9
In the dining area, we have used Slate stone with dark brown granite in the staircase area
07:23.0
07:37.5
and near the lift walls. The slate stones, and greenery, with white walls, can also be found in the courtyard.
07:37.6
07:42.4
This is the main colour, along with vertical wooden elements
07:42.5
07:47.3
and wooden veneers in the false ceiling are predominant
07:47.4
07:52.2
To highlight the red based look, we used the wooden veneers.
07:52.3
07:57.1
Here we have used red cider veneers and also it is placed in different directions
07:57.2
08:06.9
which gives a very subtle but beautiful look to the woodwork.
08:07.0
08:11.8
The dining area is also very spacious around 15x15 ft.
08:11.9
08:16.7
In all the houses we do, you can find a courtyard.
08:16.8
08:21.6
Since it was a small house, incorporating a courtyard was a bit challenging to us.
08:21.7
08:26.5
But, we brought in a small nice one here.
08:26.6
08:31.4
It adds more value to the dining.
08:31.5
08:36.3
Like daylight from the above, since we have given a sealed glass top.
08:36.4
08:41.2
It is fully glass covered and protected.
08:41.3
08:49.1
There are so many natural elements like Slate stone, and artificial plants in the courtyard.
08:49.2
09:01.7
It is also very easy to maintain for people like Senthil, who stay abroad.
09:01.8
09:09.5
We have given a beautiful spacious kitchen with Laquered glass white wall cabinets
09:09.6
09:14.4
You can also see the aluminum frames here.
09:14.5
09:23.4
For the rich look, we have given Norway blue pearl granite tops in the sides also
09:23.5
09:30.0
To match the veneer finish, we have given the glossy laminate to the bottom cabinets.
09:30.1
09:34.9
There is only one guest bedroom in the first floor which is of reasonable size.
09:35.0
09:39.8
It is 13x14 size with a huge wardrobe
09:39.9
09:46.4
which is a built-in one without any projections
09:46.5
09:53.0
It is a 11ft wide wardrobe and the lofts has a white colour finish
09:53.1
09:57.9
to merge with the walls.
09:58.0
10:02.8
The veneers are beautifully placed vertically and horizontally to create this wardrobe look.
10:02.9
10:14.7
The cot has a cushion panel with the same colour palette of browns and dark beige.
10:14.8
10:19.6
We have also given a direct lighting behind the cot to give a floating pattern
10:19.7
10:24.5
These are other features
10:24.6
10:29.4
There is also a sitting window, which is another popular trait of our houses.
10:29.5
10:38.0
It enhances the space perception and also the kids love it.
10:38.1
10:42.9
They love to read and sleep on it.
10:43.0
10:47.8
It serves multi-purpose. You can aslo accomodate storage boxes below the sitting window.
10:47.9
10:52.7
Like bedsheet, pillows, etc in the sliding storage boxes.
10:52.8
10:57.6
To reflect the same colour patterns of the house, we designed the toilet likewise
10:57.7
11:04.0
We have chosen dull beige colours and dull grey stone highlighter tiles for the toilet
11:04.1
11:08.9
You can see the usage of same colour themes in this toilet
11:09.0
11:13.8
We have also given a cut-out panel above the shower
11:13.9
11:18.7
with lighting to conceal the inner heat
11:18.8
11:23.6
There is also a procedure for fixing the shower enclosure in future.
11:25.2
11:33.4
If you enter the second floor, you can see a small cosy family room
11:33.5
11:43.7
We have given a sofa seating in one corner and a display glass shelf in another corner.
11:43.8
11:52.0
Here, the client has kept his awards and other laurels.
11:52.1
12:00.3
Behind the glass shelf, we have given a charcoal panel with a little bit of gold for a luxury touch
12:00.4
12:05.2
Another important portion, is a small study nook that is in the corner.
12:05.3
12:10.1
It is a built-in space with a study table.
12:10.2
12:14.6
Above that, you can see a wall cabinet to store your books and other things
12:14.7
12:19.5
There also you can see a touch of gold.
12:19.6
12:27.6
This study area can be used as a common thing and modelled likewise.
12:27.7
12:32.5
There are two spacious bedrooms in the second floor. One is the master bedroom
12:32.6
12:37.4
We have exceeded our client's expectation in it
12:37.5
12:45.4
Around 289sq.ft and almost 19 and a half/15 and a half sq. ft
12:45.5
12:55.2
It is really a huge bedroom and we have given wall panelling treatment behind the bed
12:55.3
13:03.2
and wooden rafters above the bed with interesting false ceiling designs for the floating effect.
13:03.3
13:08.1
We have set diffuse light fixtures in 4000k and spotlights in 3000k throughout the house
13:08.2
13:13.0
The mixing of these spotlight gives you the luxury feel
13:13.1
13:17.9
It is also cost-effective.
13:18.0
13:22.8
We have given a very big walk-in wardrobe in this room which is beyond 16ft.
13:22.9
13:27.7
It has a nice veneer finish all-around.
13:27.8
13:34.7
This walk-in wardrobe is around 90sq.ft from there you'll be connected to the toilet.
13:34.8
13:44.9
Here you have a frosted glass because when you enter the bedroom you have a glass door,
13:45.0
13:49.8
Even from the dining to the toilet, there is a fixed glass door and there are also huge ventilators
13:49.9
13:54.7
So, you will get the natural light in the toilet
13:54.8
14:02.4
As the client asked, we have fitted a large beautiful jacuzzi
14:02.5
14:11.7
Since this is a large toilet of around 90sq.ft we have given a jacuzzi on one side.
14:11.8
14:16.6
The colour pattern revolves around brown and dull greys where one wall is highlighted.
14:16.7
14:21.5
The given granite also matches the pattern of the toilet.
14:21.6
14:26.4
This granite is also given in the counters, and flush tank
14:26.5
14:31.3
as the maintanence is very easy.
14:31.4
14:36.2
The third bedroom is also a spacious bedroom.
14:36.3
14:43.7
It is also a 16x16 ft bedroom with an attached balcony
14:43.8
14:48.6
This Balcony is over looking to the front.
14:48.7
14:57.6
So, this is a very beautiful balcony. The sheer curtains used also match the colour pattern of the bedroom.
14:57.7
15:02.5
The back wall of the cot has a highlighter finished background
15:02.6
15:09.9
It is done in a dark colour and adds to the colour scheme.
15:10.0
15:21.2
Opposite to the cot, we have a dull beige wall treatment
15:21.3
15:32.7
Since, it is near to the bathroom, it is susceptible to getting dirty. So, we have given beige colour for easy maintenance
15:32.8
15:37.6
In this bedroom also, we have given a spacious wardrobe.
15:37.7
15:42.5
It is almost 16ft
15:42.6
15:52.1
We have given around 75sq.ft of wardrobe space and again 80sq.ft of toilet space
15:52.2
15:57.0
Different colour tiles are given in the toilet area
15:57.1
16:01.9
but it matches the same theme of the house.
16:02.0
16:06.8
You can also see highlighted walls with a little bit of grey here and there. These patterns are repeated throughout the house.
16:06.9
16:11.7
This grey is also present in all the sofas
16:11.8
16:16.6
It is one of the theme in this entire house
16:16.7
16:24.9
So, the entire house gives you a harmonious feel with the same colour patterns.
16:25.0
16:29.8
Finally, I am about to show you the ground floor area.
16:29.9
16:38.0
It is a small but luxury looking, cosy single bedroom unit.
16:38.1
16:42.9
As soon as you enter from the car parking, you'll see a beautiful lobby.
16:43.0
16:47.8
When you take the right, there is a small cute living room with a TV provision
16:47.9
16:52.7
with a nice wallpaper finish at the background of the TV
16:52.8
16:58.5
The grey colour sofa is also in the same concept of the upper floors.
16:58.6
17:03.4
In the ground floor, there is a small cosy kitchen
17:03.5
17:08.3
It is a mini version of the first-floor kitchen
17:08.4
17:13.2
Here we have given white colour cabinets
17:13.3
17:18.1
There is a small beautiful bedroom here
17:18.2
17:23.0
which has all the main features of the master bedroom
17:23.1
17:27.9
like floating headboard with filtered cushion finish behind the cot
17:28.0
17:32.8
the wallpaper highlight on both walls
17:32.9
17:37.7
There is also a large wardrobe behind the bed
17:37.8
17:42.6
that has a dressing unit with a mirror
17:42.7
17:47.5
It also has the same veneer finish with the white colour lofts
17:47.6
17:52.4
The main reason for giving white is because it merges beautifully
17:52.5
18:02.1
We have also given a very richly finished wooden false ceilings
18:02.2
18:09.7
with co-lightings. In the opposite, we have given a small self for TV
18:09.8
18:14.6
We still have to provide the TV.
18:14.7
18:19.5
This is a small scale version of the big bedrooms present above
18:19.6
18:24.4
This is present in the ground floor unit.
18:24.5
18:29.3
When you come out, you can see the 5-star hotel styled beautiful lobby
18:29.4
18:34.2
with wallpaper, slate stones, granites, false ceilings
18:34.3
18:39.1
with gold touch,etc, which will be very nice to look
18:39.2
18:44.0
There are also beautiful niches on the way toward the stairs to the top.
18:44.1
18:48.9
That is all about this house
18:49.0
18:53.8
I believe we achieved our client's requirement and expectation
18:53.9
18:58.7
The client was more than happy and he felt we outdone what he gave us
18:58.8
19:05.1
That is the main credit for us. The experience of working with Senthil was also phenomenal
19:05.2
19:10.0
Though this house was small, we were able to achieve a lot of things in it.
19:10.1
19:15.5
I thank him for giving us this opportunity. I also thank you for watching this video
19:15.6
19:20.4
Please look fowards to such similar videos. Thank you. Have a great day
19:24.6
19:30.6
A minimum of 2400 sq.ft, we call it as one ground in Madras
19:30.7
19:35.5
majority of the plots will be around 3400 sq.ft which is around 1 and half ground
19:35.6
19:40.4
So, when he asked us to build a luxury house in 1800 sq.ft we were quite sceptical
19:40.5
19:45.3
But we took it as a challenge and discussed with him
19:45.4
19:50.2
I will now let you how the discussion with the client went
19:50.3
19:59.2
When I asked about the plot size, he said it is 30x60 ft south facing plot.
19:59.3
20:04.1
Usually, I like the south facing plots because it is the breeze direction
20:04.2
20:11.6
Plus, when designed with balconies you'd get a lot of breeze
20:11.7
20:16.5
So, when it comes to 30x60 plot, the government allows one side close construction pattern
20:16.6
20:21.4
If you follow that, we can achieve a spacious house
20:21.5
20:27.4
But the client said, he won't allow that and he needs three feet all around space
20:27.5
20:32.3
We also had that restriction.
20:32.4
20:37.2
When we asked about his requirements, whether there can be ground plus two model
20:37.3
20:42.1
he agreed with it
20:42.2
20:47.0
So, we proposed to keep the ground floor as parking
20:47.1
20:51.9
but the client wanted a cute single bedroom unit
20:52.0
20:57.5
He told the next two floors should be a separate unit and the ground floor a separate one
20:57.6
21:02.4
Also, it should be connected to the above floors because their parents are going to use it
21:02.5
21:07.3
He told that they prefer to be in the ground floor and wanted the ultra luxury there also
21:07.4
21:12.2
Even though it is simple, our parents shouldn't feel that it is luxury less
21:12.3
21:17.1
He told that luxury should follow in the ground floor also
21:17.2
21:22.0
So, I asked him whether one car parking is enough
21:22.1
21:26.9
He told me he needs three car parking space
21:27.0
21:33.6
I told him it is difficult to park large cars, but the client demanded he wanted three large car parking spaces
21:33.7
21:40.6
He also told us that he needs comfortable staircase
21:40.7
21:45.5
along with lifts going to the terrace
21:45.6
21:50.4
Because he wanted his old parents to enjoy the terrace
21:51.7
22:04.5
As he said his requirements, he was clear about the luxurious feel of the house
22:04.6
22:11.2
He wanted a spacious luxurious lobby like a five-star hotel
22:11.3
22:18.6
Then he wanted stairs to give the luxury feel
22:18.7
22:23.5
He also wanted a very spacious hall in the first floor
22:23.6
22:30.5
The feel should be massive, so he wanted a tall hall.
22:30.6
22:35.4
I asked whether we can go for double height. But, he didn't want it
22:35.5
22:40.3
because of maintanence problem.
22:40.4
22:48.7
So next, he wanted three bedrooms totally.
22:48.8
22:55.3
Out of which one is a guest bedroom
22:55.4
23:00.9
That can be normal size, he said and wanted it to be 13x14
23:01.0
23:10.3
We agreed to 13x14 and the attached toilet with a 5x10 and beyond
23:10.4
23:15.2
He wanted dining, kitchen and a single bedroom in the first floor
23:15.3
23:20.1
that was his requirement. Also, he wanted a spacious kitchen
23:20.2
23:28.4
Considering second floor, he wanted two bedrooms and there should be a massive size bedroom
23:28.5
23:33.3
He wanted a minimum of 250sq.ft
23:33.4
23:39.3
and a massive dressing room for both the bedrooms
23:39.4
23:44.2
