The plot location is the front rows of the society. It can be used as commercial for ground and first floor ( I don't want to use it for commercial although). Its a north Facing plot. to correct the exact plot size its 30 *45 not 30 *40 as earlier said. So its 1350 sq ft. Specifications: Ground floor with 2 parking, Garden, utility, 1 hall, 1 kitchen, 1 small bed room, 1 pooja room, 1 bath room and 1 store room. First floor with a big store room, 2 bed rooms with attached bathrooms and small kitchen (which I can use in emergency) and big balcony, Second Floor with 2 big rooms, 1 with attached bathroom. One separate (which I can use for home theater) and 1 huge balcony with small gazibo. Elevation should be royal (not modern). Should be more like European look.

Hello RP, Why would the beds be placed in North South directions . Don't you need a washroom for the guests? TV is misaligned for viewing from seating. Dining table blocks kitchen entry and is right under the stairs. Please see of you can do any changes related to these. Thanks Amit CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

Hi Nadia, Using different design styles for interiors has two consequences - 1] You may end up with a poor patchwork reminiscent of a interior design showroom. 2] You may end up with a perfect blend of eclecticism. Avoid giving each room a different look as this will not only break the continuity of the space but will be visually overwhelming. Instead try to blend. This way you will maintain a visual connectivity of different spaces and the entire home would look balanced and cohesive even on being eclectic. You may achieve this by using the following tips: 1] Use a colour palette that suits the theme. You may use neutrals all the way and splash a bit of colour in on a wall or two just to highlight. These walls may be the ones in your foyer or passage or balcony or simply behind the sofa or TV unit etc. Remember that the colour is being used as a highlighter so place it judiciously. 2] Each design style comes with a set structure and rules hence, use an interpretation of design styles and not the styles as they are. This will allow you to make decisions flexibly as there will be lesser restraint. 3] Have a clear control on the aesthetic. Minimize, dont overdo, else the space will look like a museum and not a home. 4] Make judicious use of furniture. Use colonial designs for all your loose furniture like chairs, end tables etc. Keep your beds and sofas clean and contemporary. Add eclectic cushions. 5] Use furnishings wisely - american pleat curtains in pastel hues, damask/textured wallpapers, natural fabrics like linen, silk etc for upholstery. Add a bit of greenery in the form of plants. 6] Use natural stones for flooring (rustic tiles would also do) with motif tiles to highlight spaces like the kitchen, bathroom wall or foyer floor.

Dear Mr. Surya, You could try an inside out concept with a house centered around a built forest/ structured landscaped areas. You could design the place in such a way that both the frontyard and the courtyard would be accesible/vislble from every room. For privacy, wood/metal jaalis would suffice. You could also place a waterbody in proximity to formal and informal living areas so that an outdoor deck doubles up when large volumes of guests need to be entertained. You could also incorporate an outdoor seating with fireplace and BBQ by the landscapes/ aquasccapes. In general, a green building which ensures cross ventilation, follows vaastu and sustainability principles could be packaged as one product and aesthetics seamlessly merges with functionality.
