The quality of life has been growing with improved standards of living; this is redefining residential architecture. Decades ago, town planning and urban planning were taking a huge leap, but it is only now that there is greater attention to detail and building of vernacular residential units. Famous projects such as Falling Waters by F.L Wright and Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier portray a perfect example of this evolving abode designing.
Divergence is the key that drives the wheel of architecture on the highway of advancement and globalization
Optimal space utilization has become the need of the hour to create compact designs, catering to the growing urban population, as seen in countries like Japan and China which have adopted the latest technology and use of flexible/modular furniture. Nonetheless, basic modernist and de-constructivist concepts have metamorphosed from the classical, art deco, and art nouveau ideologies. Green architecture that involves rainwater harvesting, re-usable materials for construction, and vernacular designs - has become mandatory.
A drastic transition can be seen from generic designs to theme-based innovations. AUM architects have amalgamated colour and a rich material palette into their residential projects in Thane and Chembur and revolutionized the design aspect by complying with a unifying theme. Thus, amalgamating a user-friendly space planning and a relatable décor while maintaining the micro-climate is what circumscribes the residences of today and the imminent future.
