Architectural Brilliance: Exploring the Aggarwal House in Jalandhar, India by Space Race Architects

Beginning with ample frontage to the spacious interior layouts and a fine material palette, every design decision has led to the creation of a home that feels like a breath of fresh air. Composition of the beige facade finish on the upper level, in contrast with the charcoal tinted wood and masonry finishes of the ground level elevation, creates the illusion of a weightless mass.

Stepping into the house, one has an unobstructed view of the landscape; an effortless idea that accentuates the spaciousness of the planning. The puja room adjacent to the entrance, with its intricately carved altar, extends a sacred welcome and elevates one’s senses. The formal living is set up elegantly between the walls on the right, creating a well-defined and articulated formal space. On the contrary, the informal family living room is given visual access to the dining and kitchen with physical proximity to the sit-out. With wide glass door partitioning, the lawn behaves as an extension of the family space, bringing in elements of nature. Further, the diffused sunlight brightens up the family space while the kitchen is thoughtfully positioned to receive bounties of the pleasant north light.
