You need an architect

hello...I would like to suggest that for the balconies, close out the single doors and convert the walls into full length french doors for a contemporary look. also, the opening to the balcony from the puja room can be closed and can be made from the bedroom instead. that way the privacy of the pooja room is maintained

Hi Rahul Satija To answer your question, regarding which material to use for the outsides of your home Terracotta Brick - unless you have used bricks that are meant to be left exposed, ordinary bricks will take in a lot of water and leave the walls damp, and hence not a great idea. You could ofcourse cover it with a veneer of brick cladding but that is something we would not propose. Between wooden cladding and paint, it frankly depends completely on your budget. Wooden cladding looks extremely good but is quite pricey. Our suggestion would be to paint the majority of the home, with highlights in parts in wooden cladding.

Dear Rahul, Houzz itself is full of wonderful ideas. Also you need to elaborate your requirements a bit. kindly go thru my profile and check out my work and let me know if you need professional help. Thanks
