30x50 Plot G+3 Neoclassical Home Design in Sarjapur by Design Thoughts Architects

Final renders of the Neoclassical residence

Project fact file: 

Site orientation: North-facing home 

Site dimensions: 30’ x 50’ plot home

Site area: 1500 sq. ft. 

Built-up area: 4400 sq. ft. approx. 

Our firm's Neoclassical elevation residences testify to our design prowess, and this G+3 corner residence is no exception. It seamlessly blends Neoclassical elements with a unique Mashrabiya jaali, creating a statement elevation that speaks for itself. The form, cornice details, and open-planning sensibilities form a complete composition. 

From first glance, the home captures attention with its grandeur and proportion. The elevation is a refined interpretation of neoclassical architecture, featuring:

Vertical pilasters and column motifs that run cleanly through all floors

Elegant moulding details and cornices framing each level

Contrasting textures through muted wall finishes and sleek metal railings

A central chandelier drop, adding opulence and vertical drama

Rich wood-finish ceilings in the balconies create warmth against the crisp white envelope.

Multiple balconies and terraces create depth and rhythm, allowing light and air to flow naturally. The plot is maximised beautifully, giving the house presence from all sides.  

Zoning and planning 

The home is meticulously planned to cater to the evolving lifestyle of a modern family, while staying true to traditional values. The layout unfolds with open planning, offering distinct zones for different activities. 

Ground Floor

The ground floor houses a parking space and a 1BHK rental unit. A well-defined foyer entry. It also features a secluded lobby to access the above floors. 

First Floor 

The first floor is designed as the family’s space, offering a spacious parents' bedroom with an attached balcony, a centrally positioned puja room, and a family lounge for private gatherings, all flooded with ample natural light.

Second Floor 

The second floor offers extended family living or additional flexibility with a master bedroom, an open lounge, balconies on either side for cross ventilation, and space for hobbies, work-from-home, or quiet corners. A kid’s bedroom is also included on this floor plate. 

The touch of Neoclassical elevation

As with all our elevation concepts, we presented two options to the client. In both options, we aimed to create a lasting impact with hints of Neoclassical elements. Large windows were brought to the front elevation, ensuring each floor features a bay window or a balcony in the north-facing home. 

The first option, with the material specification, was proposed to the client.

A variation in the window design for the north-facing home makes the difference in this option. 

Another iteration proposed for the 30’x 50’ plot home

However, the client liked the first option, while a few changes were suggested. A significant concern for their home was safety. We changed the window sizes and introduced a Mashrabiya pattern jaali to match the neoclassical style. We also tweaked the arch window into a regular window with ornate neoclassical cornice detailing. 

Material Palette: Neutral tones, black metal, and touches of stone offer a luxurious but understated finish

Lighting Design: Recessed warm lights, decorative exterior lamps, and that stunning hanging chandelier elevate night-time aesthetics

Balcony Integration: No boxy outcroppings; instead, we created sculpted balconies that softened the geometry and created interactive outdoor spaces on every floor.

Compound Wall & Gate: The gate grill features custom ornamental detailing, continuing the home’s neoclassical theme even at street level. 

One of the aspects to consider while designing a neoclassical residence is that the elevation shouldn’t feel or look heavy. We have used four major elements in this G+3 residence. 

Pillars: Slender columns were added for aesthetics; some pillars are structural with added fluted detail. 

Cornices & Layered Moulding: Cornice bands break the vertical mass and add horizontal balance. 

Pediment: The triangular feature crowns the windows and a moulding detail that highlights the facade. 

Neutral colours: A neoclassical facade highlights itself with the mouldings, while the colours remain neutral like white, off-white or beige. Here is the semi-open area. We have introduced a hip roof detail with a bright colour.  

Wrapping up

As we wrap up this north-facing home blog, we explore the features and characteristics of neoclassical design. We have curated several neoclassical residences on our blog page for you to explore.

Why Quartz Countertops Are the Smartest Investment for Indian Homes in 2025

When it comes to designing or renovating a modern Indian kitchen or bathroom, every detail matters — and the countertop often becomes the centerpiece of the space. While there are several materials available, quartz countertops have quickly risen to the top in 2025, not just as a design trend but as a smart, long-term investment for Indian homeowners.

Here’s why quartz is winning hearts and homes this year:

Built to Last – No Compromises on Durability Indian kitchens are busy. From pressure cookers to hot pans, they go through a lot every single day. Quartz countertops are engineered to be incredibly tough. Unlike natural stones like marble or granite, quartz is non-porous, which means it resists stains, scratches, and cracks — even with daily use.

Whether you're cooking a family dinner or entertaining guests, you can count on quartz to keep up without showing signs of wear.

Low Maintenance – High Style In a fast-paced world, nobody wants to spend weekends scrubbing countertops. The best part about quartz is that it doesn’t require sealing or special cleaning products. A simple wipe with soapy water keeps it looking fresh and spotless.

This makes quartz a perfect match for urban Indian families who want style without the stress.

Endless Colors and Patterns – Designed for You From subtle whites to bold black veins, quartz offers more variety in color and patterns than most natural stones. Whether your home is minimal and modern or rich and traditional, there’s a quartz slab to match your aesthetic.

Cristo Stone offers a curated range tailored to Indian tastes, ensuring your kitchen or bathroom reflects your personal style.

Hygienic and Safe – Especially for Indian Kitchens Because quartz is non-porous, it doesn’t harbor bacteria or mold – a big plus for Indian households where hygiene is a top priority, especially in the kitchen.

It’s an ideal surface for food prep, chopping vegetables, or rolling out chapatis — safe, clean, and hassle-free.

A Long-Term Investment That Adds Value Yes, quartz might seem more expensive up front compared to tiles or laminates, but it adds lasting value. With minimal maintenance, decades-long durability, and timeless appeal, it’s an investment that pays off in both looks and property value.

For homeowners or investors, upgrading to quartz can even boost your home’s resale value.

Final Thoughts 2025 is all about smart choices — and quartz countertops check all the boxes. With their beauty, strength, low maintenance, and hygiene benefits, they’re more than just a style statement — they’re a decision you’ll never regret.

Looking to make the switch? At Cristo Stone, we help you choose the perfect quartz surface that elevates your space and lifestyle.

What Is Modern Architectural Design?

Modern architectural design focuses on simplicity, clean lines, open spaces, and the use of new materials and technology. It emphasizes functionality while incorporating artistic expression. Unlike traditional Indian homes, modern designs often integrate large windows, open floor plans, minimalistic decor, and sustainable building practices.

Popular Modern Architectural Styles in India

1. Minimalist Architecture

Minimalism is characterized by uncluttered spaces, neutral color palettes, and sleek materials such as glass, steel, and concrete. In Indore, homeowners love minimalist homes for their calming vibe and easy maintenance.

2. Contemporary Architecture

This style evolves constantly but generally features innovative shapes, asymmetrical forms, and eco-friendly materials. Contemporary homes in Indore often use solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and smart home automation.

3. Indo-Modern Fusion

A growing trend in Indore is blending modern design with traditional Indian architectural elements such as jalis (perforated screens), courtyards, and sloping roofs. This creates a home that respects heritage yet embraces modern comfort.

4. Sustainable Architecture

With rising awareness of environmental impact, many Indore builders and homeowners choose green architecture that focuses on energy efficiency, sustainable materials, and low carbon footprints.

Factors influencing cost:

Plot size and location in Indore

Architectural complexity

Labor and contractor fees

Compliance with local building codes and Vastu

Luxury Villa Construction Cost in Indore

Luxury villas in Indore are designed to offer exclusivity, space, and premium amenities. They often feature landscaped gardens, swimming pools, home theaters, and smart automation.

Average Construction Cost: ₹4,000 to ₹6,500 per sq.ft

A Japanese-inspired farmhouse nestled among an organic farm

A farmhouse that speaks through its natural textures 

Amidst the fruit trees, these farmhouses are a haven of tranquillity. They offer a serene retreat for the family or anyone seeking a peaceful stay. The clients envisioned designing a farmhouse for a relaxing family outing or a rejuvenating weekend vacation. 

Farmhouse factfile: 

Farm location: Organic Village Farm, Denkanikottai, Hosur, Tamil Nadu

Farm Size: Around 18 acres

Plot size for house: 23180 sq. ft. 

Plot facing: North-facing home

Farmhouse type: G+1 home

The clients were particular about designing a G+1 home with four bedrooms so that it can be rented out as a 1BHK, 2BHK or 4BHK, depending upon the requirement. With Airbnb becoming an integral part of weekend getaways, the clients also aim to create one such retreat. The farm contains different tree varieties, such as mango trees, dragon fruit trees, etc. It makes the perfect place for designing a farmhouse that can be used for both personal family outings and renting out during the vacation season. 

Planning the farmhouse

The clients were particular about an open plan, yet a sense of privacy for each bedroom, so that it can be rented out. As this is a farmhouse, the plan includes many skylights, glazed doors and attic windows. Let us understand the planning through spatial pictures. 

A view from the living and dining area

A small pantry alongside the larger kitchen and storage opens to a lovely skylight above. 

Planning also extends to the master planning level, which includes a culmination of ponds, esplanades, a Zen garden, rock areas, a temple surrounded by a water body, a swimming pool, a rain dance area and interactive outdoor seating. As one enters the property, they will be invited by these water and garden elements. 

The living-dining open plan

Flanked by the mango trees and orchids, this farmhouse creates a wholesome experience for a staycation. Mimicking the Japanese style in the elevation, we also presented a similar concept in the bedrooms. The clients also liked visualising each bedroom in a different style to understand the spatial arrangements of the spaces. 

The clients also wanted to explore how the bathrooms looked, and they liked to include a landscape with a touch of natural textures, skylights and large windows. 

The following styles the clients explored were Bohemian, Moroccan and Mediterranean. The bedrooms on the first floor also have a loft area accessed by a ladder. Have a look at these visualisations for a better understanding. 

The Bohemian style explores styles and textures, inspired particularly by the free-flowing, artistic lifestyle of the 1960s and 70s counterculture. 

Islamic motifs like Mashrabiya and Islamic arches influence Moroccan style arches.

Mediterranean blends natural elements, warm colours, and a relaxed, coastal vibe inspired by the regions surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.

While we explored the different styles for the visualisation, let us also discuss the plan of the bedrooms. Each bedroom has a spacious bedspace with a lovely balcony or deck and a TV space. Storage spaces with a small fridge and kettle make the room functional and aesthetic. 

A connecting multi-purpose area on the first floor serves for gatherings or family time. 

Elevation exploration

The Zen gardens and rocks along the water bodies naturally blend with the Japanese-inspired elevation the clients wanted. 

In the elevation renders, we can see the loft area projecting from the main building. It gives an additional inclination that brings out the Japanese elevation style. The staircase on the side is made of natural textures that match the exposed brick and stone palette. 

It also gives a modern touch with its large glazed surfaces. Organic trails and pathways define the farmhouse, adding interest and intrigue. 

This side of the elevation explores the bedrooms open to decks on the ground floor and balconies on the first floor.
