A fusion residence is always a striking blend of elements from both design styles. This eclectic residence is an example of a Modern Neoclassical House Design in a 40 x 60 plot with an east-facing site orientation. When we started planning, the clients wanted a beautiful, spacious home with ample natural lighting and subtle colours. The spatial requirements were minimal, as they wished for an interactive family home, a space that encourages engagement and connection. So, we proposed a fusion of Modern Neoclassical House Design with hints highlighting Art Deco elements.
This blog exercise lets us walk through elevation, spatial understanding, and much more, including design elements, challenges, and innovative solutions implemented.

Elevation Details of Modern Neoclassical House Design
This east-facing home is a fusion residence, so discussing the elevation details will increase interest. Initially, the clients wanted to explore a sloping roof with more glazing. In that option, the elevation showed hints of British Colonial too.

As we can observe, the central elevation element here is the balcony that comes along the double-height living room area. Since it is a double-height area, little or no privacy is needed here. This gives us complete freedom to explore and experiment with various elevation options or styles for the client.
A modern elevation was presented to the client as option two
The clients were keen on exploring various options, so we presented a modern exterior with a minimalistic look. But, the clients wanted a unique style and settled for a Modern Neoclassical House Design for their 40 x 60 plot house in Bangalore.
Understanding Elements
As you see, we present two options to clients, but as homeowners, you can have multiple questions about the materials and details shown in the renders. In Modern Neoclassical House Design, these are the features to look out for.
1. Cornice details
2.Pillars with fluting
3. Corinthian or Ionic columns
4. Arches and grand entryways
5. Ornate details
For Art-Deco residences, we use metal accents with intricate details. We can also find stylised motifs and groove detailing. In this elevation concept, we combine both characteristics, making it a perfect blend of Art-Deco and Neo-Classical.

A good combination of glass and concrete for modern exteriors creates a sleek, contemporary look. A modern elevation has a minimal look sans intricate detailing, metal ornamentation, or significant stucco work. Here, we look at box projections, vertical grooves, tall glass windows and concrete finishes for this proposal. The colour palette is grey and white, while many are exploring other options.
With a few changes in the material palette and detailing, we concluded the elevation for the clients of this duplex-style Modern Neoclassical House Design.

In the following final elevation concept, we added an arch element, removing the sloping roof and matching it with the bedroom window on the first floor. Eventually, this brings that fusion of Art Deco to the Modern Neoclassical House Design. However, we retained the sloping roof on the terrace floor, an additional height element for the elevation.
A Gist About The Planning
We explored quite a lot about the elevation, and discussing the planning in brief now will give you an overall idea of the design process. We followed basic Vastu principles in the east-facing home. For this, the kitchen comes in the front as the southeast corner comes here, pushing the bedrooms to the rear or southwest side.
Here, we also zone the public and semi-public spaces like the living, kitchen, and dining areas in the front part of the house and push the private spaces or the bedrooms in the back. A circulation zone with a lift is located on the south side, leaving the central part of the Bramasthana sans any structural element or obstruction of the duplex-style home.
On the first floor, as we can see from the elevation, a large part is left as a cut-out, for there is the L-shaped living room and a balcony. The rest of the floor is filled with bedrooms for the family. According to Vastu, we will locate the required spaces on the terrace and keep the northeast side empty.
