The Scarlet Hue Underscores The Shades of Gray Elevations of this House | Ghoricha Associate | Gujarat

Grey has always been the best residential façade colour that instantly makes the house look elegant and polished. In the same line, Gujarat-based architecture firm Ghoricha Associate has designed a family home for four people of two generations that features the shades of grey on its exterior highlighted with the bright-red colour, giving the house its name "Scarlet House." The play of solid grey blocks forming voids at different levels is seen at first glance of the house. These uniquely designed elevations make way for the interplay of light and shadow. At the same time, the house interiors seem to provide all the elements in the right balance to support the vision of providing luxury, which is balanced with efficient practices to channel the pragmatic lifestyle. The design team at Ghoricha Associate has shared more information about the project with SURFACES REPORTER (SR). Read on:

The project "Scarlet House" demanded a specific language that would reflect the likings and living style of the family. For concept and visualization, the designers started by questioning,' in what lies the essence of a home', and in doing so, developed a project that is unique and has a distinct design language.

The client's ideologies and the designers' conception found common grounds over luxurious settings involving pertinent elements. Every space is translated towards this vision and functionality towards individuals.

Grey Solid Blocks on the Exterior

The outside of the house displays varied solid blocks in different hues of grey, creating voids at different levels.  The bright red colour accentuates its grey setting, while the unusually placed elevations allow the interplay of light and shadow. Further, the integration of grills enhances the aesthetical appearance of the house, giving a visual treat.
